Do we have to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from neighbours?
Q: Hi,
I would like to know whether we need NOC from neighbours for construction. I know if I approach them, they will deny and will there be any issue if I construct without NOC from occupants of the building. Your suggestions and reply is needed on the same. The building is heart of city and MCD Delhi is our authority.
In 2011, MCD Delhi came up with draft rules for floor-wise sanction of buildings. According to this, builder has to ensure that no damage or loss is caused to the existing floors or adjoining buildings. The salient features of the guidelines include doing away with the requirement of a ‘no objection certificate’ from the owners of other portions of the building.
Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) used to give floor-wise approval for building plans, but after the Lieutenant-Governor raised an objection last year in April 2010, this procedure was discontinued.
