Surrender and Re-alienation

• This is a method employed by some State goverments to expedite the 'multiple' processes of conversion , amalgamation and subdivision . 
• This is achieved by the owner first surrendering the lots to the State , which immediately re-alienate in the land according to the approved layout . 
• The time and effort normally associated with these processes are greatly reduced . 
• An example of a development which benefits from 'surrender and re-alienation ' is a sizeable housing project comprising terrace houses to be developed on 'agriculture' land which is made up of several contiguous lots .
