Citizen-friendly town planners: Hyderabad shows the way
The locality is good, and the builder appears quite friendly. The price is steep but not outrageous as in some ‘glamorous’ parts of the twin cities. The deal is fixed even before the first floor slab is laid because “the price increases at stage of the construction”, as pitched in by the “helpful” builder.
You have seen the cleared building plan and papers giving the necessary permissions. Alas, the fine print is missed and more so, the building site plan is not displayed on the board outside as is mandatory.
The miss could be costly as the construction might not be following all the rules and could be attracting penal action even if the municipal authorities seem to look at the other way in the beginning.
Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) finally seems to have listened to the clamour of citizens to help them buy a flat conforming to all the rules rather than initiate action after the residential units are purchased. The new building permit order to be issued to all new constructions contains details of the number of floors permitted, height, setbacks, road affected, tot-lot, parking space, licence of builder, architect, fees paid, etc.
Previously, most of these details were “hidden” in different set of documents and on the plan itself that is not easily accessible and difficult to comprehend. Mr. Reddy also urges citizens to access the building plans cleared on the GHMC website ( www.ghmc.gov.in) for better information and these can be downloaded too.
