Here Are different reasons for which a building proposal can be rejected by Planning Authority

1. Proposed use of land like residential, shopping mall, office, hotel etc must be allowed in zone of that land.
2. If plans submitted are not as per building rules of that area.
3. Applicant do not submit all required documents in its prescribed format.
4. If the site is not capable of being well drained.  it means If the level of the site is less than prescribed datum level depending on topography and drainage aspects.
5. If it is within blue line or flood line of any water body like river, Nala, dam back water etc.

For land partially affected by any road, owner of that property have to surrender road area to respective authority of that road. On remaining land he can construct after leaving front margin as per rules.
8. If land is within 30 m from metro line or railway line. In this case owner will get FSI of affected area, but he will have to leave desired distance between building and railway track.
9. If land is within 100 m airport boundary (after 100 m it is permissible as per permissible height from aviation department)
10. If it is within 30 m from hill top hill slope or BDP zone.

Here is each point explained in detail.                                          

SMOOTH REDEVELOPMENT

Difference between Restoration and Redevelopment?

In restoration, the existing building is extensively repaired and restored to its original condition. In redevelopment, the existing building is demolished, and a new structure/building with prevailing bylaws and additional FSI/TDR is constructed.

What Are The Advantages Of Redevelopment?

1. In the case of a building's restoration by major repairs, though the beams and pillars are strengthened externally, the inner core, which consists of steel rods, cannot be restored to its original condition. Hence, even after extensively repairing the building, there are bound to be umpteen complaints about leakages requiring frequent repairs. In the case of redevelopment, the entire structure being brand new, it will be free from complaints. 
2. The new building will accommodate various modern facilities & amenities with the current trends of society.
3. Well-planned and designed flats with earthquake structures.
4. The corpus fund received by each individual member will cover the increase in the premises' maintenance cost or could be utilized for other purposes.
5. Additional carpet areas will be received as compensation from the developer. 
6. The owner can buy additional space (if available) from the developer at the best available price.
7. Modern facilities/amenities/gadgets like lifts, intercom systems, smoke detectors, fire fighting alarm systems, concealed plumbing, concealed wiring for electricity, telephone, cable TV, etc. Will be available. (depends upon an offer from developers)
8. Additional parking will be available with new norms of authority.
9. Electrical, plumbing, tiles, parking spaces & other specifications will follow modern trends.

Disadvantages Of Redevelopment

1. For a considerable period of time, members are required to give up possession of their flats, which disrupts their age-old routine.
2. If converted to commercial complexes, residential complexes are seldom preferred for housing purposes or dwellings.
3. The additional areas received will attract stamp duty and registration charges at the current market price.
4. There is always a fear of a halfway stalled project resulting in a court case. ( but a good project management consultant can reduce this risk by verifying of all steps in the redevelopment process)
5. New construction with all kinds of amenities will increase the cost of maintenance to be paid to society. 

Guidelines For Smooth Redevelopment 

1. All members of society should be confident in the redevelopment process.
2. The tender process should be transparent & as per the provision of cooperative society housing bye-laws
3. The appointment of a builder/developer/contractor should not be arbitrarily made. The agreement with them should be legally sound, technically complete, and clearly mention all possible building specifications. It should clarify all things like carpet area, amenities, corpus fund, shifting charges, rent of temporary accommodation, any betterment charges, etc.
4. The role & responsibility of the project management consultant should be clear & their services should be impartial.
5. Society should not go for a redevelopment process without a feasibility report from a project management consultant.

Frequently Asked Redevelopmenent Questions (FAQs) 

Q.1 Whether individual consent of all the members is required for redeveloping the society’s buildings or only a resolution by the general body will be sufficient?

Planning to start a constructional project? Good! But do you really know following things?

what you need to do to reach the construction phase? One may have various question in mind. like

What are the things to consider before building a house?

Different stages of building construction?

Is there any list of preconstruction services ?

What are pre construction planning stages ?

  A lot of us think that construction of a building only needs architects, a bunch of labors, electrician, plumbers, and money. Well, we don’t blame this way of thinking since we have always been portraying this picture when construction is concerned. But every construction project begins only after clearing all the essential legal pre-construction activities. This pre-construction process is little difficult but it make your home or building legally strong & sound. 

Tip – 1

Legal clearance of Land to get site control

The major benchmark before starting any construction process is to gain the complete site acquisition. Complete all the legal process that would define you as the site owner or something that legally gives you the site control. If you are thinking for the reason of its importance let us tell you that mostly the financing sources are unable to release the funds unless and until you have the site control.

These includes – 7/12, property card, Land demarcations, Title & search report, All mutation entries (ferfar), Society allotment letter, sale deed etc

Tip -2

Obtain the project financing

No project can stand strong if the finances are poor. So before starting any of the construction processes make sure you have strong financing in place. But what does actually in place mean? Not every penny can be ready and in hand, the least you could on your end is make sure your financing parties will deliver your need on time effortlessly. There are a lot of banks that offer constructional and another financing for a single project.

Not all Pre-constructional planning phases are in sequence so need to keep the department of financing alert as anything might come up anytime.

For financing you may need following documents –

Land ownership documents (given in tip -1 ), Pan card, Aadhar card, 3 years IT return statement, project estimate, Blue prints, documents of mortgage, salary slip (if any) etc.

Tip – 3

Architectural construction documents & Approvals

Before starting any pre-construction activity the third-party approvals are very important since you cannot start any construction without approval from local planning authority. A general contractor or your architect can get it done on your behalf. Generally, your project will be  reviewed by three main entities –

 – Approval plans & Building drawings

 – Construction team & their licences (contractor, architect, plumber, structural engineer)

 – Health & safety related assurance

 – Precautions to be followed during construction

 – Building rules of local area

Tip – 4 

Site Clearance and Installation of safety measures.

Building foot-print & 2m surrounding space should be cleared on site to start construction. Approach road to the construction area should be cleared so that construction equipments like RMC, JCB, Piling Machine, trucks carrying building material can reach the construction area easily.

Any accident happened on site can bring legal stay on project. Hence appropriate measures for labour safety must be taken.  

Tip – 5

Be Ready with Precise Project Management Plan

As you move forward by finalizing the different components of the project you need to invest your time tailoring the elite project management practices and plans to execute it. If you want to keep your project on track your team must know what the plan is and get ready to deliver it efficiently. 

Schedule your activities considering climatic conditions eg- complete under ground activities like foundation & footing before Rainy season. Plan your activities considering various speed up techniques, like 3rd floor slab & 1st floor brick work can be done simultaneously. 

Tip – 6

Appointment of Good Consultants – 

There is a great difference between knowing something and analyzing something. We recommend you to select consultant’s who not only listen you but analyze your needs properly. Here is list of various consultants for your construction –

Design Architect, Liasoning agency, Structural Consultant, Civil Contractor, Site Supervisor, Plumbing and Electrical consultant (MEP), Landscape Architect, Interior Designer.

Tip – 7

Estimate of Time

Estimate time required for completion of your project. This time must be calculated on real experiences of your surrounding projects. This will help you to plan your shifting (if you are currently using land for some purpose). All your day to day activities like office, job etc will be disturbed during this time. Time estimate will help you to manage it well.

Even during construction you will have to keep follow up to your schedule so that everything is done on time.
