Illegal property sealed by CMDA
CMDA sources said the owner of the plots 175 and 177 obtained planning permission from St Thomas Mount Panchayat Union on October 6 for construction of stilt floor (parking) plus two floors boarding and lodging house. “However, he violated the plan and constructed ground floor plus three floors of boarding and lodging house,” CMDA said.
“Further, Planning Permission Application submitted by the owner on October 26 for the regularisation of restaurant and lodging consisting of ground floor plus three floors was refused by the CMDA as the construction violated the Development Regulations in terms of Floor Space Index, setbacks all-round, ramp, parking and other deficiencies,” a release from the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority stated.
Separately, the owner of building at Valluvar Kottam High Road in Nungambakkam did not furnish the approved plan and had undertaken construction of ground floor plus two floors commercial building violating the plan.
The unauthorised building involves FSI, setbacks (nil setbacks) and parking violations, the release added.
