Questions and Answers

What is the primary factor that determines the net plot area in a land development project?

  • The balance plot area after deducting areas for amenities and development plan proposals. (correct)
  • The area allocated for parking spaces within the development.
  • The total area of the plot before any deductions.
  • The area covered by residential buildings.

In calculating the FSI (Floor Space Index) for a construction project, which area is considered?

  • The plinth area of the building.
  • The super built-up area of the building.
  • The gross area of the entire land parcel.
  • The net plot area after deductions. (correct)

In a plotted layout, how is the basic FSI distributed across the plots?

  • It is distributed based on the land owner's discretion, provided it does not exceed the maximum receiving potential. (correct)
  • It is evenly distributed, irrespective of plot size or location.
  • It is concentrated only on corner plots to maximize visibility.
  • It is allocated based on the construction material used for each building.

Net Plot Area

Balance plot area after deducting amenity space and Development/Regional Plan proposals (roads, widening) from total plot area.

FSI Calculation

For FSI calculation, only the net area of the plot considered.

FSI Distribution

In plotted layouts, the basic FSI can be distributed pro-rata or as the landowner desires, within regulations.

Approved Layouts

The plot area is considered the net plot area.

Study Notes

  • Net plot area calculation applies to plotted layouts, sub-divisions, group housing schemes, and any development.
  • Net area is the total plot area minus area covered by amenity space and Development/Regional Plan proposals like new roads and road widening.

Net Plot Area Formula

  • Net Plot Area = Total Area - (Area of DP Road + Area of Park Reservation) - Amenity

FSI Computation

  • Only the net plot area is considered when calculating FSI/built-up area.
  • In a plotted layout, the basic FSI is distributed on all plots pro-rata or as desired by the landowner, adhering to maximum receiving potential regulations.
  • FSI entitlement on specific plots must be clearly stated on the layout plan.

FSI Distribution Example

  • Land area: 10,000 sqm
  • Plot area: 6,000 sqm
  • Total FSI: 10,000 sqm x 1.1 = 11,000 sqm
  • FSI on Plot: 6,000 sqm x 1.1 = 6,600 sqm
  • Pro-rata area for distribution: 11,000 sqm - 6,600 sqm = 4,400 sqm, to be distributed on the 6,000 sqm plot.
  • Plots from already approved layouts are treated as net plot areas.
  • Regulations regarding net plot area and FSI computation apply to proposals in all land use zones.
