LPA warns action against unapproved buildings
The Local Planning Authority (LPA) has warned of action
against buildings that violate the rules or constructed without its
permission in areas outside the corporation limits.
According
to a release from the LPA, for residential buildings of maximum 4,000
sq.ft. (ground plus one floor) and commercial buildings of maximum 2,000
sq.ft (ground plus one floor) the corporation or the respective local
body can give the plan and building approval. However, this will not be
permitted in unapproved layouts and those declared as hill area
villages.
For larger area or for buildings for other purposes, the plan should be approved by the LPA.
But,
it was found during inspection that several buildings with area more
than the permitted levels were constructed with permission from the
local body. Action will be taken against buildings constructed without
permission or with approval from the local body for area more than the
permitted level, the release said.
