Land uses are permissible uses of the land for construction, whether residential, commercial, industrial, etc. Zoning, on the other hand, is linked to Urban Legislation that is related to Zoning Regulation for Construction, which determines setbacks, building ratios, number of floors, permissions and prohibitions and the land’s status (whether in the implementation or study phase). The zoning maps are directly linked to the building permit system.
Work is being carried out in accordance with the approved strategic structural plan of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the land use specifications disclosed as part of the preparation and approval of the general and detailed plans, which convey the classifications, by the relevant entities after obtaining the necessary approvals from the Higher Committee for Urban Planning.
