Development control involves a complex process and tedious procedures. The due consideration given to an application for planning requires a tedious process as it will have to go through several committees and technical evaluations. Generally, a planning application will be assessed in terms of current development scenario, land information, planning requirements and planning design. Delay related to the overall process of development control can be attributed to consultation caused; planning committee-caused and applicant-caused. Issues concerning development control process include delay of planning approval, lack of consistency in decision-making, comprehensive and updated information apart from effective public participation. The continuous occurrences of these issues can no longer be tolerated if Kuala Lumpur is to achieve the status of a world-class city. Given the benefit of IT, it is imperative that the procedures of development control be improved to cater for increasing development rate. Development control and approval, which involves the process of analyzing the appropriateness of planning applications, requires various data from the relevant agencies. Apparently, an information system is necessary not only to keep and display data pertaining to planning application for the purpose of administrative functions but should also be designed to facilitate planning at strategic level. The step taken by the Planning and Development Control Department (JPKB), City Hall of Kuala Lumpur through the development of an integrated development control system is seen as an innovative approach to urban planning. The system was designed to cover all the necessary work process involved in development control and approval that supported by GIS application.
