commercial building and the length of passagedoes not exceed 120 metres-7.2 meters
(v) When it is intended to serve more than 20dwellings or more than 6000 square metres of
commercial building-9 meters
2.Structures permissible in the minimum prescribed set back spaces are given in rule 28.
3.The minimum width of corridor shall be as given in rule 42.
4.Parking spaces shall be provided within the site conforming to standards prescribed in the Annexure - IV.
5.Rainwater harvesting provisions as prescribed in the Annexure - XXII.
6.Special regulations for physically disabled provided in the rule 43 shall be adhered to.
7.Solar energy capture provisions as prescribed in the regulations given in rule 44 shall be provided where
applicable.
8.The reservation of land for community recreational purposes such as park or playground required in
these regulations shall be as given in the rule 41.
9.Internal vehicular access way including passage if any within the site shall a clear width of 7.2 m and such
vehicular access shall be available for every building block in the site within a distance of 50 metres. Further,
it shall be a clear open to sky and no projection of structure over it is permissible.
10.If the building is constructed on stilts and the stilt floor is to be used for parking, it shall not be enclosed,
if it is enclosed it shall be counted for FSI.
11.Every Non High Rise building development exceeding 900 sq.m in floor area shall be provided with
electrical room in ground floor or open space at ground level with in the premises to accommodate
electrical transformer conforming to rule 46.
12.If a Non High Rise building contains more than one use and the allowability of the built space with
reference to the abutting road width and exclusive passage width shall be decided based on the number of
dwellings for the residential use and quivalent floor area allowable for commercial and other uses.
13.Any construction with roof over it in the terrace floor for A.C. Plant or structures shall be counted, as
a floor and categorization of type of building shall be done accordingly.

Erection of solar photo voltaic panels.-

Installation of Solar Energy System is mandatory in all buildings in the category of High Rise Buildings and Non
High Rise Buildings exceeding 16 dwelling units and 300 sq.m of commercial building, Accordingly
(a) Minimum terrace area to be reserved for erecting solar photo voltaic panels shall be 1/3rd of total terrae
area.
(b) The space required for erecting solar photo voltaic panels is about 10sq.m. for generating 1 KW of
electricity.
(c) The electricity generated from solar photo voltaic system so erected will be used for common electricity
requirements like staircase lights, setback lights, lifts, pumps and non-floor space index areas, etc.
Rain Water Harvesting
Non High Rise Buildings – Buildings of height up to 12m

In plots to be developed/buildings where the setback

area is very small, not enough to dig a recharge well or
sewers, water line, electrical cable running
below, rooftop water brought down by pipes should be
led to percolation pits, one per pipe.
In plots to be developed/buildings without an open
well, rooftop water to be diverted to a sump for
immediate use (if that is relevant), through a first flush
cum pebble-sand filter combination or a Special filter
and the overflow to bediverted to a recharge well. The
rain falling on the driveway or paved setback
areas and from rooftop pipes that are not connected to
the sump or rechargewell to be intercepted near the
gate(s) either by means of a gutter (provided
with a perforated lid) or a bump/speed breaker
arrangement and led to a
recharge well

In plots that are being developed/buildings with a dug

(source) well, rooftop water to be diverted to a sump for
immediate use (if that is relevant), through a first flush
cum pebble-sand filter combination or a Special filter and
the overflow to be diverted to the source well. The rain
falling on the driveway or paved setback areas (around
campus) and from rooftop pipes that are not connected to
the sump or source well to be intercepted near the gate(s)
either by means of a gutter (provided with a perforated
lid) or a bump/speed breaker arrangement and led to a
recharge well.
Structural Safety.

In the cases of Non High Rise buildings with height upto 12m.,
industrial or institutional buildings upto G+1 floors in height and with floor area both
existing and proposed not exceeding 300 sq.m. the provisions in this part of the rules
relating to structural design, submission of working drawings or structural drawings,
etc. shall not apply except that all such applications and plans for these developments
shall be signed by the owner or Registered Developer, and the Registered Engineer or
Architect who prepared the plan and further the Registered Engineer or Architect shall
certify that the structural design of the small development has been done as per the
latest Indian standard Specifications and the National Building Code.

Constructional Safety

All construction except Non High Rise buildings with height upto 12m. shall be carried out under
supervision of the Registered Construction Engineer on Record (CER)
