Issued on the detailed design and allows the works in the road reserve. The sidewalk modification permit is then obtained before kerb, footpath and interlock works start.
RTA Concept Approval vs Construction NOC
RTA approves plot access in stages. The concept approval (access design study) accepts the design; the construction NOC allows the works. Mixing them up is one of the most common reasons access works get stopped.

- Developer NOC (in master-developer communities)
- Existing services information, where available
Key Technical Rules
- Approval before road works: any work in the road reserve needs RTA approval first.
- DLTM drawings: RTA reviews drawings in DLTM coordinates.
- Utility clearances: DEWA and telecom services are checked where they run under the works.
- Work zone safety: works follow RTA work zone traffic management rules.
- Reinstatement: the road, kerb and footpath are reinstated and inspected.

RTA Concept Approval vs Construction NOC — FAQs
What is the difference?
Concept approval accepts the design; the construction NOC allows the works.
Can I start works with concept approval?
No — wait for the construction NOC and the sidewalk modification permit.
Do you prepare the access drawings?
Yes — we survey the site and prepare access, kerb, interlock and tie-in drawings in AutoCAD (DLTM) and PDF.
Can works start before all approvals?
No — access, kerb and interlock works should start only after the RTA construction NOC and sidewalk modification permit are issued.
Who handles the submissions?
We prepare the drawings and handle the RTA and developer submissions as your consultant.
