Loading ...A group of companies have applied for permission to construct a star hotel near Tukkuguda Junction abutting the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (ORR) growth corridor, but the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA) rejected their application as the access road width is less than 100 feet (ft). Also, there is a no-approach road.
Similarly, a firm decided to take up a group housing project on a 10-acre land next to Ramoji Film City, but HUDA denied permission as there is only a 30-foot approach road instead of a 40-foot one, as specified in the plan released last month.
The minimum plot area for high-rise buildings must be 1,000 square metres, with the abutting road width of 12.2 metres (nearly 40 ft). The height of the building, plot size and road width are correlated. For instance, if a builder wants to construct a 50-metre-high building, then the approach road must be of 100 ft to get permissions.
Several building permissions are being denied by HUDA in the one-km growth corridor as the road width of access roads and approach roads are less than the dimensions indicated in the master plan. The municipal administration and urban development department released a comprehensive master plan for the one-km belt along the ORR in July. It had also frozen the growth corridor area in April 2007. At every one km along the ORR, there should be a 100-ft access road. However, many roads have a width of less than 100 ft, especially where there are villages and habitations.
ORR officer-on-special duty Ch Sridhar admitted that there were some problems with unauthorised layouts in the growth corridor. He said gram panchayat sarpanches and panchayat secretaries should be sensitised as they could take the lead in enforcing the growth corridor regulations.
