Alteration Permit

The Alteration and Addition Permit (ABP) governs any changes, extensions, or redevelopment works to existing buildings within Eko Atlantic City. According to Chapter 4, Section 4.5 (2), no building shall be altered, added to, or redeveloped without prior approval from Eko Atlantic City Management Limited (EACML). This permit ensures that any modification to an existing structure maintains compliance with the City’s planning, safety, and design standards while preserving the integrity and uniformity of the built environment.

Developers intending to make alterations must submit a formal application as per Appendix EE (Request for Alteration to Building). The submission must include essential technical documentation, such as as-built drawings and stamped alteration drawings prepared by certified consultants. These must be accompanied by structural reports and calculation notes verifying that the proposed changes will not compromise the building’s stability or load-bearing capacity. Additionally, a Civil or Structural Engineer’s undertaking is required to confirm supervision of the alteration works.
