On August 20, 2001, the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) issued Resolution No. R. 700-01, amending the rules and standards for economic and socialized housing projects in accordance with BP 220. This resolution aims to establish various levels of standards and technical requirements for housing development while harmonizing existing policies with recent legislative changes. The devolution of subdivision plan approvals to local government units, as mandated by RA 7160, requires compliance with HLURB's implementing rules. The resolution also responds to calls from stakeholders for a review of current policies to enhance the issuance of subdivision development permits and licenses. The revised rules are designed to ensure effective monitoring and adherence to standards in housing projects.
