Building Plan Approval
There is always a huge demand for property from a builder of repute who is known for quality construction. Buyers are willing to pay a premium in return for -Peace of mind that all approvals are in place.
However, for any building to get constructed, the builder will need to have a set of approvals as well as sanctions from all the authorities concerned. Any building that comes up without these approvals will invite penalties in the form of fines and even prosecution.
Here is a detailed procedure required to get approvals and sanctions for the building procedure:
A) Land Title:
First and foremost, the builder has to get a clear title for the land or plot. The clear title ensures that the property is clear and marketable and it traces any charges or encumbrances created on the property and its present status. It enables a prospective buyer to know the chain of holdings, and transfers over a period, and check any dispute on the ownership of the property. The best possible scenario is that the builder buys the land first and then starts the project. In Maharashtra, builders prefer the upfront purchase of land whereas in Delhi and Karnataka Joint Development Agreement is the route normally taken.
Here while deciding to buy a property a basic check can also be done by the buyer, by pulling out the Encumbrance Certificate ( hyperlink) from the local sub-registrar office to check the ownership/lien status of the land.
B) Land Clearance:
On account of urbanization agricultural land is sometimes converted into Non – Agricultural land which can further be used for constructing buildings for residential or commercial purposes. In such cases, a developer needs to get approval from the concerned authority to convert agricultural land for non-agricultural (NA) purposes.
Approval for change in land use of the plot is required from the local body and the State Ministry of Urban Development (UD) when the land use shown in the master plan / zonal plan (where the plot is located)/ land allotment letter is to be changed (as the same is not permitted / not compatible with master plan/ zonal pan). The land use plan for the land area is to be notified by the State Ministry of UD after the same is approved by the local body.
C) Zonal Clearance:
After the land title & clearance, A builder is required to take zoning approval from the local body/authority.
- The revenue department provides the ownership certificate for building permits under the provisions of the Local Body Acts.
The town planning checks regarding city development RDA with the planning board and forwards the proposals to the various other concerned authorities in the city as required for the issue of case-specific approvals/NOC before granting zoning approval. it has been observed that as per the following table, 8 approvals are required by housing projects that vary from approvals required for land to approvals for putting in place basic amenities like electricity, water, connecting roads, etc.
D) Building Approval:
The next step requires approval from authority for sanction of building plans/ building permits under the provisions of Building Byelaws, Master plan, and Local Body Acts. The Building approval comprises the building plan and the layout approval for the construction of the building.
- A builder should submit building plan before starting the construction activities. Building plans are a graphical representation of what a building will look like after construction.
- Building plan ensures that building complies with building laws.
- Once the building plan is approved, the builder should commence construction work within two years and there should be no deviation from the sanctioned plan.
The builder has to get approval of layout plan from concerned authorities before starting construction of residential or commercial building.
- Approved Layout Plan is as per approved FAR (Floor Area Ratio) or FSI (Floor Space Index).
- Constructing building on unapproved layout will not be given permission to be occupied or such layout plots will be treated as unlawful and exemplary penalties will be levied as per Municipal Laws.
- Land which is sub-divided into plots without permission from authority is considered illegal or unapproved layout.
- No facilities such as roads, drainage, street lighting will be extended in such areas.
