Q:The directorate of town planning, Pune, has initiated the process to call suggestions and objections regarding the rules made public in November last year
Latest Answer: Because of this issue, the state government has proposed many changes such as sharing revenue of the premium charged and use of transfer development rights (TDR) for plots with road width more than 9m. Dhananjay Khot, additional director of town planning in the Kolhapur Municipal Corporation told that the civic bodies such as the KMC are totally dependent on the revenue generated through the premiums charged to builders and therefore, the clause should be withdrawn.
Q:The state government issued a notification last week exempting old city areas from area-based restrictions on the utilization of transfer development rights.
Latest Answer: Yes, in the earlier notification issued on January 28, the state government had restricted the utilisation of TDR based on the land size and the road width on any plot. However, the government issued a notification last week stating that specific area-based restriction on the maximum permissible limit prescribed by earlier regulations shall remain in force except for Gaothan areas.
