Narrative:
During cruise flight to land at sju following a proceed to airport from tower, traffic I was overtaking on the right was cleared to turn right. Airplane turned underneath me well below. No conflict resulted. However, pilot of other plane did not clear area prior to turn and was not aware of my presence. He was not using 'see and avoid' in VFR conditions in a heavy traffic area.
