Hi:
My brother is planning to construct a house on a 40x60 plot. He wants to go for the maximum permissible height. It's a corner plot and the width of the abutting roads are 30 feet each. What is the maximum permissible height? Pl tell me if you need any additional infor.

abk

g+2 or stilt + 3

Thanks abk. But isn't there a regulation that says the height can't be more than the width of the road it's facing? In that case it can't be more than stilt+2?
And if there's a 20 ft frontal set back, can there be a compromise on the other set backs? (Rear and side) from the regular 5ft?

abk

no such regulation in cmda front setback and back setback cannot be adjusted.side setbacks can be adjusted on either side but minimum setback has to be maintained in the sides.

Hmm, the man who calls be as HATED! And he knows nothing about RE. And questions ABK due to ignorance. Go and see the CMDA rules. It talks about max height as also max number of floors. So with 2 floors if Max height restricts height per floor to 15 then with 3 floors it will restrict it to 10.
BTW, why dont you Iyengar go and ask your Wisey friend about it. Why come here are cry?

Nats, thanks for the response. You said the correct thing! Yes, I'm fully aware that I'm ignorant. To be honest with you, I don't even know some fundamental things in RE. In fact, that's one of the reasons, why I'm interested in seeing healthy discussions that can enrich me.

I did see the CMDA site, but got confused by the enormity of info. That's why thought of consulting doctors rather than taking a calpol on my own!
Nats, can you pl post here where you found this info?

Dear friend,

Is this the reason that many builders, have set back on the sides of about 4 ft. or so only against 5 ft. required and leave good space for the coverd car sheds in the front in G+1 constructions, in the case of building approval by the Town Panchayat like Chitlapakkam etc.

no ks this is applicabale only for special bldngs g + 3 where the side setback has to be 2/3rd the height of the building(in I master plan) and the minimum set back was less so you can leave the minimum on one side and the balance of the 2/3 rd can be left on the other side for better utility and functionality.
the 5' for g + 1 is minimum setback and mandatory.

Well CMDA site is not perfect nowadays and the older site seems not accessible now to me. Given my limited time and the fact that I am searching for a person who feels I am fit to be hated, I suspect you Raghavan can use this link if you choose to. As for CMDA it is better YOU SPEND UR TIME AND SEARCH than asking others to do it.

abk,

a quick question, has second master plan come into effect?are approval being sanctioned based on the new guidelines?

considering a building plan was approved as per first master plan, and construction has started and nearing completion.can a new building plan including additional space/floor be submitted for approval based on new FSI rules in second master plan?

Please assume UDS was not registered for the buyers.

Thanks in advance.
