Land Conversion
Values for available land in the Noida recently hit new highs 5,000 and in some case 6,000 per acre. But with possibly 15 houses being able to be built on an acre, this is nothing compared with the 250,000 that you can expect to pay for an acre of land with planning permission in one of the cheaper regions of the Noida. In the South East this could be over 1m and in Noida 3m per acre is not uncommon. The same holds true for other land uses, like industrial, real, retail and commercial, but with different figures applying. So if you have any land, anywhere, 'converting' its present use to a higher value use could make you considerably richer.
Foundations of the Noida Real Estates System
In 2006, the 'Delhi & NCR Planning Act' laid the foundations for the NOIDA's planning system. From that date any new works 'over, under or on' land must be 'permitted' by the relevant Local Authority before they can commence. Although the Act retrospectively approved pre-existing uses and buildings, any 'material change of use' of property also required permission. So, with few exceptions, before anyone can carry out any building, mining or engineering works, they must obtain a certificate consenting to that 'development'.
1 2 3 BHK Properties 'Planning Title'
It is this 'Planning Certificate' that entitles you to build. And, although you may own legal title to the land, without such 'planning title' you may find your new building 1 2 3 bhk flats, 1 2 3 bhk properties, 1 2 3 bhk apartments or other works has no value. Even worse, its absence could make your whole property un-saleable.
Real Estate Planning Policies
If planning consent is required for your particular development scheme your plans and proposals will need to conform to national, regional and local plans and policies. Government authorization issues 'Planning Policy Statements', which are now replacing its 'Planning Policy Guidance Notes', via its Department for Communities and Local Government. You can browse these on their website. Dealing with the relationships between development, land use planning and other policies that must be embraced by Local Authorities when they prepare plans, they are important when considering how to make your planning application and could be extremely relevant if you have to appeal against a refusal to grant planning permission. Plan Making and Local Development Frameworks
Within these frameworks, local planning authorities also make their own policies and plans within South Delhi Property. The aim of these is to place local considerations within county, regional and national contexts. Overall those 'planners' drafting these plans and policies for adoption by the members (councillors) of each local authority will consider socio-demographic and economic issues alongside transport, housing, industry and infrastructure forecasts and proposals.
Through its Planning Advisory Service, central government provides a range of tools and assistance for such plan making authorities and it is worth reviewing these to appreciate how these authorities might approach this task.
Development Control
Most local planning authorities have a Development Control Department and it is the Development Control Officers (DCO's) that most people come into contact with and regard as 'the planners'. In fact, while these often highly qualified people may have data and advisory input into the plan making process, they are not the people who draw up the plans and policies for adoption by the Local Council / Municipality. The job of these DCO's is to check that each application submitted for planning consent conforms to the plans and policies affecting the area in which the proposed development is to be sited. They also administer other tasks like checking that statutory authorities and utilities, like water, sewage, highways, etc. as well as neighbors have no serious and over-riding objections to the building, mining, or other project being applied for.
Once they have double checked that a planning application is required, providing it complies with the 'approved plan' (which includes policies) for the area they may recommend it for acceptance by the 'Planning Committee'. Some LPA's actually delegate limited powers to senior DCO's enabling them to actually grant, or refuse, permissions without further reference to the Committee. However, if there are many objections, especially from neighbours, they are likely to refer the matter to either a sub-committee or the full Planning Committee for a decision.
