Rajasthan housing department proposes maximum seven flats in 750 sq meter plots.

The Urban Development and Housing (UDH) department’s recent proposal to regulate the construction of residential apartments on small plots has disappointed small developers.

According to the new rules draft proposal, a developer is only allowed to construct seven units (apartments) on a plot size measuring up to 750 sqm.

Before implementation, suggestions and objections have been invited from residents. The last date for submission is August 12.

Developer Rajesh Dukiya said, “The decision will increase the costing and flats will become out of reach of buyers. Our delegation will meet the UDH minister on Wednesday and request to rollback the decision.”

As per the 2011 rules, a developer is allowed to construct 6 units on a plot size measuring between 162 sqm to 225 sqm. In all, 8 units are allowed on plot measuring 225 sqm to 350 sqm and 12 units can be constructed on plot measuring 350 sqm to 500 sqm.

The small developers demand that government should allow 16 units on a plot size measuring 500 sqm to 750 sqm.
