The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has rejected 200 proposals of residential building plans and asked the applicants to resubmit the proposals as per the new Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) that came into effect on December 2.
The NMC approved around 10 proposals of building plans so far as per the new unified DCPR, which has been introduced by the state government for all municipal corporations, barring Mumbai.
All municipal corporations, councils and nagar panchayats (excluding Mumbai) have been brought under the ambit of the new rule. The state government has come with the new rule to bring uniformity in the width of roads, size of rooms, etc.
“Around 200 proposals for residential buildings were submitted as per the old DCPR rules. We have rejected all of them,” said R Aher, executive engineer, town planning department of NMC.
Earlier, the NMC had developed auto DCPR for online submission and approval of building plans for builders. With the implementation of the new unified DCPR, the NMC has started the process offline, and is waiting for software from the urban development department.
Meanwhile, the state town planning department has organised a workshop for officials of the town planning department from all municipal corporations, councils and nagar panchayats in the division on the implementation of the new unified DCPR.
