I have two (50 by 100)1/8acre plots touching each other and fenced as one(100 by 100). I want to build a house and the site plan is the whole lot consisting of the two plots. When i go for approval will they approve for the two plots or one? Will there be a problem?

some councils are not very strict they might approve one building in two adjacent plots if owned by one person while others will insist on amalgamation (opposite of subdivision ) eg Nairobi and mavoko will insist ruiru are a bit flexible so the easiest way is to enquire from the planning department of the relevant council

Cost of approval
varies from one council to another and has two components
some fixed changes eg signboard, rates clearance certificate changes by various government department involved in approval e.g public health lands officer etc these varies from one council to another
the second component charged by the council is based on the built area of the intended development. usually area multiplied by a predetermined rate which also varies from one council to another

hope that helps

What would amalgamation cost you and how would you go about it?

Anyone who has an idea of what it would cost to amalgamate two 1/8 acre plots into one 1/4 acre plot?
