Owners of decades-old DDA-built two-storey homes in Delhi will now have a clearer route to demolish and rebuild their properties after the Delhi Development Authority approved a uniform redevelopment policy for such houses across the city.
Under the policy cleared by DDA on Wednesday, eligible built-up two-storey units will get redevelopment rights on par with vacant residential plots. The redevelopment policy was one of several major decisions taken at a DDA meeting chaired by Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, who is also Chairman of the Authority. Who Will Benefit From The New DDA Redevelopment Policy? The policy specifically covers old DDA-built two-storey dwelling units constructed on individual residential plots. The proposal will now be sent to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for issuance of the final Gazette notification.
DDA also approved the Master Plan for Delhi-2047, changes aimed at speeding up building-plan approvals and a key land-use proposal for the Rithala-Kundli Metro corridor.
DDA said a number of these buildings are structurally deficient.
