Can greenhouses be built on agricultural land in Selangor?
Generally, building greenhouses on "pertanian" land in Selangor is permitted, as it falls under agricultural use. However, it usually requires obtaining the relevant permits from the local local government (PBT, such as the city council/district council) and ensuring compliance with land rights and technical regulations. Key points are as follows:
1) Check the land title (Geran/Title) first
- The category must be "Pertanian (Agricultural)" and there should be no "specific conditions (syarat nyata)" that conflict with the planned use.
- If the title specifies a particular crop (e.g., rubber/oil palm only), or if you plan to add processing/retail facilities, you may need to apply for a "Change of Conditions/Usage" (Ubah Syarat/Kebenaran Tukar Syarat) from the Land Office.
2) Planning and Building Approvals (Local Government PBT)
- In most cases, the following are required:
- Planning Permit (Kebenaran Merancang, KM)
- Building plan approval (Pelan Bangunan) submitted through the OSC (One Stop Centre)
- For certain small, temporary, open-plan agricultural structures, local governments may allow processing as a "Temporary Building Permit/Minor Works Permit," but rules vary by district; confirmation must be obtained from the relevant PBT.
- After construction is completed, a Certification of Completion (CCC) may be required, or the conditions for a temporary building permit may need to be met.
3) Technical and Regulatory Compliance
- Must comply with:
- Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Akta 172) and local planning guidelines
- Uniform Building By-Laws 1984 (structural safety, wind resistance, anchoring, fire protection requirements, etc.)
- Drainage and Stormwater Management (MSMA), local bylaws for earthwork/fence/entrances, etc.
- If large-scale land preparation, water intake, or reservoir construction is involved:
- Large-scale earthwork or new reclamation may require additional approvals
- Surface water/groundwater intake requires a permit from LUAS (Lembaga Urus Air Selangor)
- Use and storage of pesticides/fertilizers must comply with the Department of Agriculture and environmental guidelines; if there is staff housing, accommodation standards and permits under Act 446 must be met.
4) When is Land Class Conversion Not Required
- For land used purely for planting and production (seedling cultivation and planting in greenhouses), agricultural land generally does not need to be converted to building land. - However, adding public-related commercial activities (such as retail exhibitions, tourism, and catering) or agricultural processing plants usually requires additional permits or even changes to land conditions.
Simplified Application Steps
- Confirm which local government your land belongs to (e.g., MBSA, MPKj, MPK, MDHS, etc.).
- Obtain a land title summary (salinan hakmilik), survey map (if any), and site sketch. First, consult the planning department/OSC of that PBT to determine whether to apply for a KM or temporary permit.
- Engage a qualified submitter (PSP: architect/engineer/registered draftsman) to prepare drawings and submit the application.
- After obtaining the permit, commence construction and apply for completion certification or comply with the temporary permit requirements according to the permit conditions.
Please provide the following information so I can help you verify the relevant PBT and more precise procedures:
- The district/municipality where the site is located (e.g., Klang, Kajang, Hulu Selangor, etc.)
- Greenhouse size (area, height, materials), and whether water access/well drilling is required
- Whether it includes processing, retail, or staff accommodation and other ancillary uses.
The above information is for reference only. It is recommended that you consult your local government for the latest standards and specifications.
在雪兰莪州,农业地可以建温室(green house)吗?
一般来说在雪兰莪州把温室(greenhouse)建在「农业地(pertanian)」是允许的,因为属于农业用途。但通常仍需向所在地的地方政府(PBT,例如市政厅/县议会)申请相关许可,并确保土地权利与技术规范合规。要点如下:
1) 先查土地权利(Geran/Title)
- 类别必须是「Pertanian(农业)」且没有与计划用途冲突的「明确条件(syarat nyata)」。
- 若标题写明特定作物(如仅限橡胶/油棕),或你计划加建加工/零售设施,就可能需要向土地局申请「变更条件/用途」(Ubah Syarat/Kebenaran Tukar Syarat)。
2) 规划与建筑审批(地方政府 PBT)
- 多数情况下需要:
- 规划许可(Kebenaran Merancang, KM)
- 建筑图审批(Pelan Bangunan)通过 OSC(One Stop Centre)提呈
- 某些小型、临时、开放式的农业结构,地方政府可能允许以「临时建筑许可/小型工程许可」方式处理,但各区规则不同,需向所属 PBT确认。
- 施工完成后,可能需要取得完工认证(CCC)或遵循临时建筑的许可条件。
3) 技术与法规合规
- 需符合:
- Town and Country Planning Act 1976(Akta 172)与地方规划指南
- Uniform Building By-Laws 1984(结构安全、抗风、锚固、消防要求等)
- 排水与雨水管理(MSMA)、土方/围栏/出入口等地方附例
- 若进行大规模整地、取水、或建蓄水池:
- 大范围土方或新开垦可能需额外审批
- 地表水/地下水取水需向 LUAS(Lembaga Urus Air Selangor)申请许可
- 使用和储存农药/化肥需遵守农业局与环境相关指南;若有员工宿舍,须符合 Act 446 的住宿标准与许可。
4) 何时不需转换土地类别
- 纯粹用于种植与生产(温室内育苗、种植),通常不需把农业地转为建筑地。
- 但若增加与公众相关的商业活动(如零售展销、观光、餐饮)或农产加工厂,通常需额外许可甚至变更土地条件。
简单办理步骤
- 确认你的地段属于哪个地方政府(如 MBSA、MPKj、MPK、MDHS 等)。
- 请持有地契摘要(salinan hakmilik)、测量图(if any)与场地草图,先到该 PBT 的规划部门/OSC咨询是否走KM或临时许可。
- 委托合格提呈人(PSP:建筑师/工程师/注册绘图师)出图与提交申请。
- 取得批文后施工,并按批文条件申请完工认证或遵守临时许可要求。
建议你提供以下信息,我可帮你核对所属PBT与更精确流程:
- 地段所在的区/市政(例如:Klang、Kajang、Hulu Selangor 等)
- 温室规模(占地面积、高度、材料)、是否需要取水/打井
- 是否包含加工、零售或员工宿舍等附属用途。
以上资讯只供参考,建议你去地方政府询问最新标准规格。
