The negative impacts of land-use commercialization on built environment were studied in this research. Data was collected from the target population residing on Main Road Samanabad, Lahore. Data was collected through stratified sampling technique and analyzed in SPSS. The variables were correlated to draw conclusions. It was discovered that it is not only the tangible infrastructure that is responsible for the degradation of the built environment but intangible factors such as the existing policy on acquiring No Objection Certificate (NOC) also cause its deterioration. Furthermore, site-specific regulatory procedures need to be implemented. These loopholes were identified and organized in terms of their urgency of action and recommendations were prepared according to the research findings.
