State Council’s Advice of Supporting Railway Construction and Implementing Comprehensive Development of Land
General Office of State Council[2014]No.37
Provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, ministries, departments directly under:
In order to implement the "State Council’s advice on the reform of railway investment and financing system to accelerate railway construction " (General Office of State Council[2013] No. 33), the implementation of integrated development land use policies for railways and adjacent areas of railway stations, with the consent of the State Council, following observations were made:
 
I. the Basic Principles of Integrated Development of Land
(i) Support combination of railway construction and new urbanization. Under the requirements of the new urbanization, protection of transport functions and safe operation of railway, we should insist the principle of "multi-modal interface, three-dimensional development, functional integration and economical and intensive development" and implement integrated use of land for railway station and adjacent areas. Land supply should adjust to the market, thus we could make an unified way to develop land, to promote coordination the railway station and related facilities, to make full use of the space above and below ground, to enhance city's comprehensive functions of rail transport and services, to form a virtuous interaction mechanisms and urban railway construction and related industries, and to promote the sustainable development of railways and urbanization.
 
(ii) Combination of government guidance and market self-development.Relevant departments and local governments should follow the regulation of development of railway, strictly under the law, improve the comprehensive development of the relevant land management system, and establish a fair and open, competitive and orderly environment. Under the premise of overall land use planning, urban and rural planning, local governments should co-ordinate the railway stations and adjacent areas’ planning, rationally determine the boundaries and size of integrated development of land, development land supply through integrated linkage with railway construction and other measures,  guide the market implementation of railway land use, effectively and orderly promote railway construction.
 
(iii) Combined inventory railway land and the comprehensive development of the new and old station sites.Support rail transport companies to independent development, transfer, lease and other means to revitalize the use of existing construction land, encourage rail transport companies implement integrated land development on the existing railway station and adjacent areas, promote the main railway construction investment on new railway station, implement integrated land development field and adjacent areas, improve fund raising ability and profit making ability of railway construction projects.
II. Support Existing Railway Land and Promoting Integrated Development of Land
(i) Scientifically planning existing railway station and reconstructing surrounding areas.Local governments should take the initiative in consultation with the railway transport enterprise, coordinating planning of both railway station and adjacent areas related, strengthen the function to adjust and optimize space, improve traffic organization, land layout and facilities, enhance the railway station and surrounding area carrying capacity and services, guide station alterations and integrated development of land surrounding areas in order to promote ground and underground unified planning, coordinating the development of construction, external transport and urban roads, public transport integration.
(ii)Support comprehensive development of the railway station. Support rail transport companies using its own land, fairly purchasing adjacent land, legally obtaining government land supply and cooperating with other market players. City land and resources according to the law of the railway transport enterprises using its own land consolidation and land ownership parcel merger, spin-off and other services. Government supply both the comprehensive development of land within the scope of the railway station, should be integrated development planning requirements and railway construction requirements are incorporated in the supply of land prerequisite.
(iii)Promote rail transport enterprise revitalize all types of existing land resources.The allocation of land for railway transport enterprises legally obtained, due to transfer or change of use is no longer in line with "the allocation of land for directory" can be taken to legally handle land clearance agreement. Authorized to operate by the state land, rail transport enterprise in the service life can be legally appraised value (shares), leasing or between group enterprises directly under the holding company, the transfer of shareholding enterprises.
(i) Encourage greater use of railway land for saving and intensive use purpose. The use of railway land were on the ground, underground space development, in line with the planning of the premise, compatible with a certain percentage of other functions, and layered construction land use rights. Construction land use right stratification established in line with "the allocation of land directory", according to the department of land allocation procedures; not meet the "allocation of land directory", according to the agreement go through the paid land clearance.
 
III. Encourage the Implementation of Integrated Development of land for New Railway Station
(i) Support the new railway station and integrated land development projects.New railway construction projects investment authorities, along with local government agencies should follow one plan, the linkage supply, three-dimensional development, the principle of coordinating the construction, negotiated comprehensive land development matters railway station construction scheduled to be complete, clear land Comprehensive Development Project corresponding railway station, line engineering, build unity and other related matters.
(ii) Reasonably determine the integrated development of land borders and scale.Local governments should follow the basic requirements of the new railway station area integrated development of land, considering the construction land supply capacity, carrying capacity market, the scale of investment and financing of railway construction and other factors, according to the land use planning and urban, town planning, rational comprehensive delineation development land border. After deducting the land station, the total integrated development of land in the same railway construction project by the average size of a single station control not more than 50 hectares, the comprehensive development of a small number of station land size not more than 100 hectares.
(iii) Make clear the requirements for station construction planning and comprehensive land development. When local government planning and urban overall planning of land use, according to the siting of new railway line and station, good land use control and set aside. Urban planning departments should strengthen the station building integrated development planning and land management, while controlling the preparation of the railway station and the surrounding area a detailed plan should be synchronized to organize the construction of detailed planning or urban design, architectural space organization deepen , traffic planning, development intensity, construction timing and other requirements, and vigorously promote seamless rail and urban rail transport, public transport, taxis and other modes of transportation, and promote integrated transport hub to facilitate passenger travel and transfer. Before the comprehensive development of land supply, urban planning departments should be made ​​in accordance with the regulatory detailed planning and design criteria. Plots undetermined planning conditions, shall not supply.
(iv) The use of market-based approach to serve the comprehensive development of the land. New Railway Station Comprehensive Development Area land use market-oriented way of supply, for the announcement of time of not less than 60 working days.New railway projects undetermined investors can bid when the project will be integrated land development rights tender, the winning bidder new railway projects simultaneously obtain comprehensive land development rights, the land can be developed in phases corresponding to one or more installments agreed to provide for the Price is determined by the market price when selling. New railway projects have been identified investors but undetermined integrated development of land rights, land use comprehensive development and supply of the tender, auction or quotation and unified joint construction of the railway station, line engineering and related planning conditions, railway construction requirements as the acquisition of land preconditions. The main land by the railway construction investment made ​​in railway construction and integrated development of land should promote co-ordination; land acquired by other market players, other market players with the railway construction investment should be the main consultative arrangements for railway construction and integrated development of land-related matters to ensure that railway the construction according to plan an orderly manner.
 
IV. Improve the Integrated Development of Land Supporting Policies
(i) Coordinate the comprehensive development of related land planning and management. Local governments should in the preparation of land use planning and urban planning, and consider the railway station adjacent areas of land and integrated development of land use requirements, and accordingly the timely preparation of integrated development of land-related organizational planning. If it proves necessary to adjust the existing statutory planning approval procedures should be. Strict construction and engineering design review of the overall plan. The relevant departments to improve the management of integrated land development plan to promote integrated development of land orderly conduct.
(ii) Improve the model land supply for integrated development. Integrated development of land can be phased supply, the supply of available land in phases into the film offer, into a piece of land supply should be divided were based on urban planning and the actual situation, according to the purpose and the relevant provisions of the parcel, issued a written decision on the allocation of compensation for the use or signing a contract.
(iii) Implementation of the comprehensive development of land targeted support policy. Land railway construction projects supporting the comprehensive development of the necessary arrangements for new construction land, after a rigorous examination of the provincial government, the state plan by the Ministry of Land and temporarily be.
(iv) Improve the relevant construction standards.Departments according to railways and other transport mode access, integrated transport hub, station facilities feature mixed, ground and underground three-dimensional development needs, grooming, improve relevant standards, strengthening the coordination of various types of convergence criteria.
 
V. Strengthen the Supervision and Coordination of Integrated Development of Land
(i) Implementation of record management system.New railway station before the supply and the joint construction of a unified field of integrated development of land, city and county land and resources should be integrated development of land position, scale, demand for land, planning conditions and the proposed arrangements for the supply of staging the record to the Ministry of Land and Department of housing and Urban Construction.
(ii) Strictly manage land development and utilization.Relevant city and county land and resources should sign an agreement with the comprehensive development and utilization of land acquired land use rights of the comprehensive development of the subject, expressly agreed railway station, line project should precede comprehensive land development projects. Obtain comprehensive development of land subject fails to agree priority construction railway station, line engineering, are not allowed to go through the land, real estate procedures.
(iii) Strengthen the construction and management. Railway station, the construction of various types of construction projects and land line integrated development involved, the relevant government departments should strengthen capital projects, supervision and management of land use standards and construction standards, quality and safety and other aspects of construction. Obtain comprehensive development of land use rights body should strictly abide by the relevant provisions of the real estate development project management.
Implementation of comprehensive development and utilization of land for railway and railway station surrounding area is an important measure to speed up railway investment, financing system and railway construction. It is also a powerful starting point to promote the development of new urbanization and intensive land use. All localities and departments should seriously implement the spirit of the comments, under the strict management, we would seek advancement steadily.
