| Abstract: | The development control standards enforced in the cities of Nigeria significantly affect housing development. It is responsible for delays in securing residential development rights, affects housing supply for low income groups and enthrones toilsome standards which tend to encourage informal housing development. There are neither policy initiatives nor visible efforts initiated so far by all stakeholders to address this problem. This paper attempts an evaluation of the effects of the enforcement of development control standards on informal housing development on cities in Nigeria. A total of 240 respondents and four Municipal Planning Authorities were randomly sampled and interviewed in selected four cities in Nigeria. The result suggests that development control standards as enforced by planning institutions increases the cost of housing development, stifles efficient housing delivery and encourages low income informal housing development in urban areas. Findings further showed that land use planning condone corruption with government officials and the privileged rich individuals gaining more access to development rights in residential housing delivery. The paper advocates for government’s legalization of the informal housing by reviewing the exorbitant approval cost associated with housing development for the low income groups and provision of infrastructural facilities and services to improve the environmental conditions of these settlements. Besides, government should declare a state of emergency for the low income residential housing need and develop a blue print for mass housing the low income in partnership with the private sector to ease the bureaucracy associated with granting development rights to the low income group on residential housing.
