Ahmedabad: Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI), Ahmedabad, has urged the state govt to relax the plan-approval process for highrise projects up to 70 metres by delinking Special Technical Committee (STC) scrutiny from the Transferable Development Rights (TDR) mechanism. CREDAI has cited prolonged delays caused by irregular TDR availability.
Developers said that for buildings between 45 metres and 70 metres, STC scrutiny is mandatory for plan clearance, but the STC process does not move forward until TDR loading is fully completed. The association said that, on average, five new projects every month fall in the 45-70-metre bracket in the city and the current sequencing is causing avoidable bottlenecks.
CREDAI Ahmedabad office-bearers recently met chief minister Bhupendra Patel and submitted a representation on pending issues related to AMC approvals, including highrise-plan sanctions, building use (BU) permissions, parking enforcement, and green-building incentives, according to sources. Enforcement should target the person who parks illegally,” an office-bearer said. “Penalising the building for violations by vehicle owners is unfair.
