Posted on: 02/Aug/2013 12:27:30 PM
The Chennai Corporation on Friday will launch a ‘green channel’ for building approval and planning permission in the 15 zones of the city. Building permits will be issued in seven days under the ‘green channel’. The facility will be applicable for ordinary buildings with ground plus one floor or stilt plus two floors.
As per the existing system, the civic body issues permits to buildings in 30 days. However, most applications are delayed by months because of the time consumed in processing applications.
At least 2,000 building constructions are expected to begin on time every year with the launch of the ‘green channel.
The Corporation will issue building approval in seven days based on a declaration by the applicant. The inspection of the site will be done later. The Corporation will initiate action if any deviation is noticed later.
