The approved general planning for construction of a functional zone shall provide the basis for formulation of the zoning planning and detailed construction planning.

In case a boundary or some land use targets need(s) to be revised to execute a centralized or separate construction project within the area already mentioned in the approved detailed construction planning, the authority with competence in approving the detailed planning shall decide to partially revise the planning based on contents of the approved planning, national technical regulations on construction planning, conditions of technical and social infrastructure of the area and architecture management regulation. The planning shall be partially revised in accordance with regulations of laws.
