Govt drafting policy on additional floors
New Delhi, June 9: The Delhi government will soon unveil a policy to provide relief to lakhs of Delhiites waiting endlessly to carry out construction of additional floors in residential flats having multiple ownership.
Urban development minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said government was planning to do away with production of no-objection certificate (NOC) by people having right over third floor from the other floor owners for expansion of building.
Lieutenant governor Tejendra Khanna in December last year had directed the municipal corporations not to insist on production of NOC for giving approval for construction of third floor if they are satisfied with structural safety of a building and compliance of building by-laws. The municipal corporations, however, refused to comply with the directive of the lieutenant governor, arguing that it was “very ambiguous” and “vague”.
The Delhi government is now working on a policy to allow construction of third floor in flats having multiple ownership and ensure transparency in approval of building plans. — PTI
