Jing Gui Zi Fa [2019] No. 435

To relevant entities,

To implement the Opinions on Improving the Examination and Approval Services for Simple and Low-risk Construction Projects (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), the Supplementary Circular on Improving the Whole-process Service Supervision Work for Simple and Low-risk Construction Projects is hereby issued according to the requirements of Circular on Implementing the Whole-process Service Supervision Work for Construction Projects of New Simple and Low-risk Construction Projects with Social Investment (Jing Gui Zi Fa [2019] No. 170) :

I. Within the applicable scope of the Opinions, the simple and low-risk construction projects obtaining construction project planning permits shall be incorporated into the scope of whole-process service supervision.

II. On the basis of keeping the original content, mode, process and system of whole-process service supervision unchanged, the planning and natural resources verification department shall follow up the service supervision of simple and low-risk projects in a timely manner, provide high-quality policy consultation and coordination services, and focus on verifying whether the construction of key projects conforms to the planning.

III. After the construction of the project is completed in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the planning and natural resources verification department shall take the initiative to issue planning and verification opinions according to the Verification Report, Research Report, onsite photos and other information provided by the third-party service agency. The science and information department of our commission is responsible for sharing the planning verification opinions into the "One-stop Express" system, and sending them to the housing and urban-rural development department, the public security department and the real estate registration department.

IV. The planning and natural resources verification department shall carry out onsite survey in a non-disturb mode, and shall not interfere with the project owner without special reasons. If it's really necessary to contact the project owner for onsite survey, the said department shall fill in the "Record Form of Onsite Survey Verification of Construction Project Planning", explain the reasons in writing and obtain the approval of leaders. The planning and natural resources verification department can grasp the situation of the project site and its surroundings by means of aerial photos, satellite images, street views and other technologies.

V. After the construction of the project is completed in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the planning and natural resources verification department shall take the initiative to issue the planning verification opinions. The project owner doesn't need to provide the approval documents, surveying and mapping results, completion drawings and other documents. The approval documents issued by the government departments that need to be examined for the planning verification shall be obtained through the data sharing among government departments; the compliance condition of the construction project with the planning and construction shall be provided by a third party service agency hired by the government; the completion drawings of the project shall be collected for filing by the urban construction archives department when the project owner applies for joint acceptance; for projects that have an engineering investment amount below RMB 1million or a floor area of less than 300 m2 (inclusive) and don't require joint acceptance, the urban construction archives department will not collect the completion drawings for filing, which is subject to the planning approval files.

VI. Implement the commitment system of the project owner and the credit management. During the whole-process service supervision, the planning and natural resources verification department shall take the initiative to strengthen relations with the project owner, publicize relevant policies, clarify responsibilities and obligations, and inform relevant provisions on the expropriation of urban public land such as vacation, return, and transfer, as well as the requirements on construction, acceptance and transfer of public service facilities. The project owner shall carry out the project construction in accordance with laws, regulations and drawings, actively implement relevant requirements and feed back the project progress information. For those who fail to implement the commitment system, deliberately feed back false information and fail to fulfill their obligations or responsibilities, the joint punishment shall be implemented in accordance with the Administrative Measures for the Punishment on Dishonesty in the Approval Commitment System in the Construction Field of Beijing (Trial) (Shi Gui Hua Guo Tu Fa [2018] No. 350).

VII. If the planning and natural resources verification department finds any illegal construction during the whole-process supervision, it shall report relevant clues to the law enforcement department for investigation and punishment, and continue to carry out the whole-process service supervision after legal handling.
