When planning a residential development project in Seychelles, adhering to the established guidelines is only the first step. The application and compliance process is equally critical, ensuring that each project meets the regulatory standards outlined by the Seychelles Planning Authority.

The Physical Planning (Land Use and Development Plans) Regulations 2023 (SI 90 2023) place a strong emphasis on environmental responsibility, promoting designs that harmonize with the natural landscape, minimize ecological impact, and support resilience against climate-related risks.

The Seychelles Planning Authority has established a comprehensive framework to manage residential development and land use across the country. Below, we explore key regulations governing residential plot coverage, vegetation requirements, building height, and subdivision practices to help developers and residents understand and navigate the planning requirements.
