Hyderabad: State government has notified amendments to the existing building rules to allow swimming pools on terraces and ventilation rooms and also mandating the developers to form BT/CC roads in case such roads are not in existence in the areas where residential projects are to be developed. Mr Arvind Kumar, principal secretary of Municipal Administration and Urban Development, said on Tuesday that government has issued amendments to the building rules, duly modifying the existing GOs to promote investments in the real estate sector in Telangana state. The amendment rules states that swimming pools may be allowed on terraces subject to compliance of safety norms including structural and fire safety and conditions imposed under the building permission. The new rule says this is, “As long as the built-up area proposed after con-cession does not exceed the sum of built-up area allowed on the total site without road widening and built up area equivalent to area surrendered for road widening, irrespective of the height and type and shape of the building before and after road widening.”
