Chennai Building construction Approval Rules..!

Question: What is the  Building construction Approval Rules in Chennai City? - Suresh Kumar, Chennai - 600 015. (via mail)

Answer:

If the building  will be two (2) stories or / less (Ground + 1 or Stilt  + 2), then you will need building approval from your Local Municipal Corporation.

If you wish to construct more number of floors, you will require a CMDA (Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority) building approval.

Also Consider these points

CMDA limits are too numerous to enlist and change periodically. Please refer to the CMDA web-site for the latest limits.

A local corporation approval is adequate if the number of floors is two (G + 1 or S + 2) or less and the number of flats in the building is six. that is no more 6 flats.

Set-backs depend on the width of the road on which th e property lies. The minimum front setback is 1.5 meter and increases in steps up to 6 meter based on the road width.

The rear setback required is 1.5 meter. Side setbacks range from 1 meter on one side to 1.5 meter on both sides based on the road width.

Set-backs requirements are less for continuous building areas & plots designated for economically weaker sections (EWS) of society.

 FSI (Floor Space Index) is 1.5 and plot coverage should generally not exceed 70 per cent.
