* A recent directive by the department of town planning says that private developers have to inform flat owners or investors about any change in layouts of projects in Gurgaon.

* A welcome move, the directive means that developers can not make changes affecting green zones without owners know.

Plot owners have objections shifting of green space or

 / open space in the project will not be allowed..!

According to a recent directive by the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), private developers / promoters will now have to inform flat owners or investors about any change in the layout plan of the projects in Gurgaon.

The fresh direction is sure to bring transparency in the manner in which the developers are handling the projects.

Mandatory for Developers..!

Now, it is not mandatory for developers / promoters to share all the details of the layout plan & the changes incorporated in projects.

Now the changes, especially those linked to the green belt & open spaces, will not be possible unless the developers have secured concurrence of the flat owners and investors.

In case the plot owners have objections then shifting of green space or / open space in the project will not be allowed.

In Gurgaon there have been instances in which the builders / developers have fiddled with the main layout plan and shrunk green and open spaces in housing projects.

Avoiding Inconvenience to Allottees and Flat Owners.!

The Gurgaon DTCP's order will help in avoiding inconvenience to the allottees & flat owners and also litigation. The new rules clearly stipulate that the builder shall inform all the existing plot holders about the proposed layout plan being revised through public notice in the newspaper with a request to submit in writing any objection, within a period of 30 days (One Month) from the date of intimation by the competent authority.

The developer / promoter will have to make a copy of the earlier approved layout plan and the proposed layout plan made available on the website, at the site office and also in the office of the DTCP (Planning) in the district.

The developer shall submit the report clearly indicating the petition, if any, received from allottees and action taken thereof along with an undertaking to the effect that the rights of the existing plot holders have not been infringed.

The DTCP rules further stated that any allottee having any objection to the revised layout plan, may file his objection in the office of the district town planner concerned.

Shifting of Open Space..!

The new policy will cover group housing colonies and the allottees of the dwelling units shall submit the objections, if any, to revision of building plans including site plan.

Further, shifting of open space / park / play area / tot-lots / green belt, if any, earmarked within the approved site plan of the group housing colony will not be allowed in any circumstance, says the order.
