Building Permission in parts of Bhangore to take prior NKDA permission

Planning Area Extended (Shaded Yellow) (see table below)

To control unplanned urban growth, the region surrounding New Town is gradually being subjected to the New Town Building Rules. The BRADA (Bhangore Rajarhat Area Development Authority) was abolished in 2012 and its area in North 24-Paraganas was subjected to the provisions of New Town Building Rules. A land use master plan (LUDCP or Land Use Development and Control Plan) has also been made in this area. In these areas, except for very small buildings, all others must get an NOC from NKDA which scrutinises the building plans as per permissible FAR, height related to road width, covered area of the plot, land character and title etc.
Now recently, the State Government vide its notification number 475 dt 15.2.2017, brought the following mouzas under the planning area of Hidco and will thus be subjected to the Building Rules of NKDA as in erstwhile BRADA area:

A quick survey of this area has just been made by officers of NKDA and HIDCO who went around this zone for a rapid assessment of urbanisation trends. There were six teams from Hidco and NKDA who did the rapid assessment survey. A conference will be held with district, block, Zilla Parishad and Panchayat officers on 23rd February at Hidco Conference Hall to explain the procedures that now have to be adopted. A Master Land Use Register will also be prepared shortly.
