Study Notes
- A site is deemed ineligible for building construction under specific conditions.
Conditions rendering a site ineligible
- If the Authority considers the site insanitary, poorly drained, or dangerous for construction.
- If the entire site is within 6 meters of a minor water course (nallah, canal) or 15 meters of a major water course (river) as shown on official maps.
- Exception: If a minor water course runs through low-lying land without defined banks, the Authority may allow canalization within the same land, maintaining the original alignment and inlet/outlet positions as per Authority-determined cross-section. Marginal open space will be measured from the edge of the trained nallah, and shall be as stipulated under these regulations.
- If the site is hilly with a gradient exceeding 1:5.
- If the site's intended use is deemed a source of annoyance to the health and comfort of nearby residents by the Authority.
- If the proposed building occupancy does not conform to land-use proposals in development/regional plans or Zoning Regulations.
- If the site level is below the prescribed datum level based on topography and drainage.
- If it lacks access from an authorized street/means of access as described in Regulations.
- If it lies within the river and blue flood line (prohibitive zone), unless specified otherwise.
- If the site is within a Coastal Regulation Zone boundary where CRZ Regulations prohibit development.
- If the site is undevelopable due to restrictions under any law or guidelines of a Government Department.
- If the entire site is within 50 meters of the mean high flood level of a wetland.
