Massive numbers of co-operative housing societies have welcomed DDA’s notification of high Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the existing group housing societies. The increased FAR who is from 150-200 applies only to the new construction these societies will consider. A DDA official said,’’ the position for higher FAR in co-operative societies is part of the new master plan. We are getting a lot queries from group housing societies that wanted to make use of the excess FAR. However it was felt that the existing societies cannot be allowed to extend the structure as this would determine the strength of the building and put people live at risk. The only way they can make use of additional FAR is by constructing another block or tower on the premises.
There is much such kind of co-operative houses in Delhi’s prominent part which are in dilapidated state. The residents of these societies are working and checking with DDA. With more FAR the three storey buildings will be new storey’s with all amenities including car parking. Also, at times of construction the residents will be relocated at some safe place. The new construction will be under architectural and engineered guidance.
One of the DDA official said, the additional FAR is permissible under Master Plan 2021 and the decision was taken by senior officials. To avail higher FAR society member s will have to take permission for demolition of old structure and building the newer ones, complying with regulations of the government or DDA as applicable. The process is lengthy and requires consent of flat owners.
