The order was issued by its Director a few days ago
In a move to accelerate the process of plan approvals, the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has delegated more powers to Local Planning Authorities (LPAs). Under the existing system, layout promoters have to seek approval with DTCP for layouts exceeding 2.47 acres in corporations, municipalities and town panchayats. The power of issuing approval for sites exceeding five acres in panchayat limit also lies with the DTCP. Similarly, if the Floor Space Index (FSI) of residential, commercial and institutional building proposal is more than 15,000 square feet, the applicants have to approach DTCP for plan approval.More Related News
