Chhattisgarh Infotech Promotion Society (CHiPS) will be getting developed a Web-based 'Automated layout Plan Screening and Approval System and Building Permission Management System' in the State, officials informed.
The project is being taken up for State Town & Country Planning Directorate.
The main objective of the Directorate is to prepare regional plan and development plan in urban areas in different areas of Chhattisgarh in view of planned and coordinated development.
To ensure the proper implementation of these schemes and to control the use of land and land development, technical guidance and issuance of development permit is also done by various offices of Directorate Town & Country Planning.
The State Government has simplified the site inspection process for seeking building permit, completion and occupancy certificates and has issued guidelines in the context.
To further improve 'Ease of Doing Business' in the State, to provide single-window clearance facility to people and to pace up the process of inspection of residential and industrial buildings, the Housing and Environment Department has issued guidelines while exercising its powers bestowed under Chhattisgarh Urban and Rural Investment Act, 1973, officials informed.
As per the orders issued by Housing and Environment Department , buildings proposed for construction have been classified into three categories- low-risk buildings, medium-risk buildings and high-risk buildings.
low-risk buildings include up to nine metre tall buildings to be constructed in 120 sq meter area. Medium-risk buildings include 9-12 metre tall residential buildings proposed in 200 sq metre and industrial buildings proposed in 1000 sq metre area. likewise, more than 12.5 metre tall residential and industrial buildings of more than 200 sq metre to be constructed over area of 1000 sq metre have been included under high-risk buildings.
The Government has issued guidelines for site inspection of all three categories of buildings. For low-risk buildings, inspection will be done only once on plinth-level with self-attested certificates.
For medium-risk buildings, inspection will be done only once with certificates attested by architect or engineer. For high-risk buildings, inspection by authorized official will be mandatory under Chhattisgarh land Development Rule, 1984.
