Bengaluru: Getting a building plan is now tougher than building a house!

Deccan Chronicle  

BENGALURU: Getting a sanctioned plan from the BBMP for construction of a house or structure is not as easy as you may think! Construction of houses and buildings has almost come to a standstill as the different agencies are clueless on issuing the building plan following the government order that only the BBMP must issue building plans for all the layouts falling under the BBMP jurisdiction, irrespective of the authority forming the layouts. After formation of the BBMP by merging seven city municipal corporations, one- town municipal corporation and 110 villagers, several layouts formed by the BDA and KHB have fallen under the BBMP jurisdiction and agencies like KHB and BDA have been directed to hand over their properties to the BBMP for maintenance. The catch is, that although the government has issued the order that the building plans must be issued by the BBMP engineering section, not all the offices have obtained the order. Soorya suggested that the BBMP could display the documents required to obtain the building plan on the BBMP’s website to make things easy for citizens.
