10m height restriction still on at Jubilee Hills

Will the relaxation in the density clause rob the posh localities of Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills of their status symbol? No, says Ch. Shekhar Reddy of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India.
“The fourth floor is not allowed in Jubilee Hills Co-operative House Building Society and Prashasan Nagar Co-operative House Building Society Layouts. The height restriction of not more than 10 metres is being continued in many parts of Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills,” he said.
“The five-floor buildings can be constructed on sites abutting main roads with 12 metre or over 40-feet wide roads (carriageway). Besides, the builder always had the freedom of constructing small flats on the first three floors in the two posh localities,” said Mr Shekhar Reddy.
