Development Proposal Report (DPR) is a document that is particularly mentioned under the provision of paragraph 22(2) Act 172 as one of the elements that need to be referred to and considered in managing the planning permission application process. This is often done to control development as stated under part IV of the Planning Control Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 1720), which states that each application for planning permission submitted to the local planning authority (LPA) shall be accompanied by DPR. Delays in decision-making, a lack of an experienced workforce, adherence to the manual of development proposal reports, and the quality of the development proposal presented by the applicant are some of the problems associated with this study. This study examines the Development Proposal Report (DPR) quality assessment at Seremban City Council under the DPR preparation manual and evaluation of the MyLCP Score Card. This study corresponds with section 21A of the Town and Country Planning Act of 1976 [Act 172], which mandates the submission of the DPR during the application for the planning approval procedure. MyLCP Score Card is an innovation from the PLANMalaysia's Planning Legislation & Regulation Division that aims to help the LPA evaluate the DPR submitted to ensure the quality of the DPR and help the LPA consider granting planning permission more expediently. © 2022 by MIP.
