On a year to date basis, 1,759 plans were approved with a value of N$1.409 billion, versus 1,957 plans valued at N$1.695 billion for the same period last year. This represents a 16.8% decrease in the value of plans approved on a year to date basis. This decrease is mainly due to base effects as three large commercial projects were approved by the municipality in February 2014. On a month to date basis, the value of plans approved increased by 10.1%, due to a rise in the value of approved additions and houses compared to July. The below chart illustrates the value of plans approved in July compared to previous months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ijg-research.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture223.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6727\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ijg-research.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture223.png\" alt=\"Picture2\" width=\"768\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ijg.net\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture223.png 768w, https:\/\/ijg.net\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture223-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/ijg.net\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture223-250x148.png 250w, https:\/\/ijg.net\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picture223-150x89.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 12-month cumulative value of plans approved continued to fall, down from N$2.042 billion in July to N$2.012 billion this month, along with the cumulative number of plans approved, which fell from 2,719 in July to 2,648.
