The Master Plan
and Zonal Plans
prescribe the land
use and transportation
network. Building
and Zoning Regulations
form part and parcel
of the above plans
in implementing
the specific objections
and the development
control.
Though HUDA's statutory
jurisdiction is
confined to the
H.M.A, because of
its expertise in
handling problems
of the largest and
capital city of
Andhra Pradesh,
the State Government
has traditionally
used HUDA to formulate
urban development
policies and to
carry out studies
for the entire state.
HUDA has therefore
produced major study
reports in the following
areas:
Building and Zoning
Regulations
Conservation of
lakes and water
bodies
Conservation of
Historical Buildings
and areas
Preservation of
trees
The 1998 zoning
regulations notified
by the govt. of
AP carry several
new provisions.
The following are
the suggestions
made by HUDA.
Abolition of the
provision of relaxing
regulations
Exempting small
buildings on less
than 100 Sq.m plots
from approaching
local bodies for
prior permission.
Licensing architects
to grant building
process on plots
up to 300 sq.m.
Requiring recharging
of ground water
in all buildings.
Hyderabad is the
second city in India
after Mumbai to
bring into force
HUDA regulations.
137 Heritage Buildings
and 9 Heritage precincts
(rocks) were notified
for protection in
1998.
Development
Permission Procedure
The Hyderabad Urban
Development Authority
is functionally
a referral authority
for development
permissions. While
all day-to-day cases
like individual
residential building
permissions are
delegated to the
respective local
bodies, certain
planning control
powers are vested
with HUDA like layout
developments, group
housing schemes,
all non-residential
permissions, etc,
which the HUDA entertains
directly and technically
approves such development
permissions and
forwards the technically
approved plans to
the local authority
concerned for sanction,
monitoring and enforcement.
