  • Descrição: AbstractThe accessibility of appropriate land for private development has become of significant concern to, essentially, residential property developers. With Ampabame in view, the aim of this study is to examine the prevalent challenges pertaining to the acquisition of land; the high-land-value effect of land service delivery on residential development; and the role of relevant agencies in land service delivery, as well as its impact on residential development. The sample for this study includes some land owners at Ampabame, the Lands Commission, and the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority. Among the findings, lack of cooperation (and coordination), among, and/or between, all the relevant stakeholders in the community (fundamentally, residential property developers and utilities and services providers), has the most adverse impact on the development of residences. It is, therefore, recommended that there should be coordination among relevant stakeholders and institutions; such as the Lands Commission, the chiefs and elders, family heads, and the district assembly. Moreover, this study has shown that land delivery for residential development is expensive, creating a hostile atmosphere for such developments. So, there must be the existence of a more dedicated Lands Commission to regulate the cost of land. Also, given that residential property developers have been found to, often, complain about inaccessible, and/or poor, land service delivery (propelled) by state institutions, which affects residential development unfavourably, this research proposes strict enforcement, and enactment, of the reforms in the Lands Act 2020; to ensure the cohesive development of residences in Ghana.
