After investment approval has been attained, and the environmental impact favourably appraised, the proponent must submit a request for land allocation to the local Department of Natural Resources and Environment. A construction permit based on detailed design of the project is also required. Under the relevant Construction Law, construct permits are issued either by the Ministiy of Construction, the provincial Department of Construction, or the District-Level People's Committee, depending on the complexity of the project. After approval, the project proponent negotiates the compensation and resettlement plan.
