Building permissions made easy in Andhra; single window system clearance from Dec 31

Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh government has made the permission system easier for constructing buildings and layouts in the state.

Minister for MAUD P Narayana said the Chief Minister issued clear directions to the Municipal Administration to make building permissions easier and hassle-free.

From December 31 permissions will be granted in a single window system for building construction.

"There is no need to make rounds to various departments like Revenue, Stamps and Registration and the Fire wing to get permissions for building constructions. The system of granting of such permission has now been made easy," the Minister said.

Making it clear that there is no need for any kind of permission for plans for buildings to be constructed up to 15 meters in height, Narayana said a full-scale review will be held in another 15 days on TDR issues.

CM Chandrababu Naidu directed that Amruth-2 should be completed in another two years while steps will be taken under the P-4 system for the progress of MEPMA (the Mission for Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas) members.

Recalling that Norman Foster had earlier designed the buildings of the Assembly, the High Court, and five iconic towers, the Minister said that the previous government had canceled these plans. When tenders were recalled, again the same Norman Fosters won this and the CRDA meeting approved this, he added.

P Narayana also made it clear that there are no hurdles whatsoever for a World Bank loan for the works to be taken up in the capital region. The World Bank has agreed to release the loan on an installment basis, the MAUD Minister maintained.

Narayana also said that the works for the construction of iconic buildings in the capital region of Amaravathi will be resumed in a couple of months.
