Building rules to be relaxed in Hyderabad

Occupation certificate, mortgage clause not being insisted for some constructions Small shops need not provide parking space

The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad has suggested certain modifications to the new building rules under G.O. MS 86 to provide for setback relaxations and a decision was expected in a few days time, according to Additional Commissioner K. Dhananjaya Reddy (Planning & Projects).

H has also mooted setback relaxations for constructions of ground plus two, three and four storeys. Similarly, front setback relaxations are to be allowed for properties affected in road widening maintaining the building line as the property owners have hardly any land for building after expansion as was happening on the Erragadda road.

The Additional Commissioner insisted that the built up area would be more for constructions in plots of below 600 sq.mts and above 1,200 sq.mts under the new rules contrary to public perception. A separate category was suggested for plots between 750 sqm and 1,000 sqm so that they too could get same setback relaxation benefit.

However, those building extra floors or space illegally are certainly going to get affected by the new rules, he said.

Small shops coming up in 100 sq.mts or less need not have to provide for parking space and the Government was approached for clarity on this issue, he said. after Hissamgunj Monda's Bhavarlal Varma complained that officials were insisting on parking space for small shops in General Bazar.
