Q2-1 This is the first time I have been involved in development work in Yokohama. How do I do it?

We have you carry out the procedures of the ordinance as a pre-procedure for development permission. In addition, some of the technical standards required for design include Yokohama City's own standards and interpretations, so first read the latest "Guide for Development Permit" and "Guide for Coordination Ordinances". After that, please bring your drawings etc. and consult directly with the person in charge of permission.
In addition, please read "guide of residential land development" as plan of construction must conform to house building standard when construction is accompanied.
