around these monuments it is necessary to declare the areas surrounding these
monuments as zones of special control and impose the following special
regulations around these monuments.
1. Building up to and inclusive of first floor or up to a height of 7 m from

ground level. Whichever is less are only permissible within a distance of

identifying it for different uses by measuring as per the scale of the maps.
This is applicable only to the built-up area as shown in the existing land
use map.
b. Different uses permitted in a given zone may be allowed in different

floors of the building. In such cases, the regulations applicable to the use
of the ground floor of the building shall apply to the entire building. When
mixed land uses are permitted in the ground floor, the predominant use
among them shall be considered as the use of the ground floor.

types of building:

area ratio, coverage etc., for different type of buildings.
e. When the building lines are fixed, the front set back shall not be less than
the building line fixed or the minimum front set back prescribed whichever
is higher.
f. In the case of corner sites both the sides facing the road shall be treated
as front side and regulations applied accordingly to maintain the building
line on these two roads and to provide better visibility.
g. In case where the building line is not parallel to the property line, the front
and rear set backs shall not be less than the specified set backs at any
point.
h. In case of building sanctioned prior to coming into force of these rules

which are abutting other properties on one, two or more sides, upper

no objection certificates if the adjoining owner himself has put up such
abutting floors provided that not less than ¼ of the area is left as vacant
space, open to sky, if the existing building is retained.
i. In case of irregular plots set backs are to be calculated according to the

depth or width at the points where the depth or width are varying. In such
cases, average set backs should not be fixed at as they may effect
minimum set back at any point.
j. The left and right set-backs may be interchanged by the authority in

exceptional cases due to existing structures like: open well and also
considering the topography of the land
k. Set backs should be provided in the owners plot, public open space or
conservancy lanes adjoining the plot should not be considered as
setbacks.

In case of a plot facing the road proposed for widening, the required land as
indicated in the development plan for road widening shall be handed over to the
local authority free of cost by a ‘relinquishment deed’ by the owner of the land
before sanction is accorded to his plan;
1. Ramp or parking is not allowed in the land required for road widening;
2. The FAR shall be allowed as applicable to the total area of the site
