Applicability. These Building Regulations Are Applicable To The Entire Huda Area (Metropolitan Zones And Also To Mch Area) 1.00.   The purpose of these regulations is to ensure that: 1.      Buildings are built within the infrastructure levels in an area at a given point of time. 2.      It will be open to developers to construct additional built up area on existing buildings or sites, subject to obtaining permission, when abutting roads are widened, plots are amalgamated to create larger lots and other services are upgraded. 3.      Building norms encourage decongestion of central areas where creation of additional services is relatively difficult. 4.      The common man, mainly an individual plot owner building his own residential house can understand the regulations in an user friendly manner. A simple set of regulations are available only for plots up to 250 sqm. 5.      Public interest is given a higher priority over individual gains.   2.0.       These regulations specify the following norms : 1.      Minimum Set backs (Open spaces between the building line and the boundary of the plot; left open to sky) for buildings within plots. 2.      Maximum ground coverage (ground area covered by the building immediately above the plinth level) for buildings at the ground level. 3.      Maximum Floor Area Ratio or FAR (The quotient obtained by dividing the total covered area ie. plinth area on all floors by the area of the plot.) except for the Common Man’s table. 4.      Maximum number of floors / height. 5.      Parking requirements. 6.      Standards for parts of buildings not specified here shall be as per National Building Code of India. 7.      Procedural aspects and other requirements such as sizes of drawings and number of copies to be submitted are not included at Draft stage to lay emphasis on key issues. 8.      Key terms are explained in the text. Definitions of  other terms shall be as per the National Building Code of India. 3.0.           The norms are related to the following: 1.     Actual width of the road on which the plot abuts on the day of granting  permission for allowing FAR. 2.     Road width as proposed in the Master Plan in respect of front set backs and building line after leaving space required for future road width. 3.     Size of the plot. 4.     Use of the plot / building.    NOTE: ·        Certain requirements are common for all use/occupancies whereas certain requirements are different for different uses. ·        The distinction between plotted development and group housing/development as in vogue in many other cities in India, has been done away width because of operational difficulties faced in the past. Intensity of development is now proposed to be controlled by location, plot size and road width. 4.00.   The jurisdiction of HUDA is divided in to two categories: 1.      M.C.H area 2.      Outside M.C.H area 5.0.     Plot sizes are grouped under three ranges: 1.      Plots 250 sqm and below (special regulations) 2.      Plots larger than 250 sqm but smaller than 2500 sqm 3.      Plots 2500 sqm and above. 6.0.     Road widths (existing) are grouped under two categories : 1.      Less than 18m on ground. 2.      18m and above on ground.   Note: Road width refers to Right of Way and not Carriage-way 7.00.  Basic Norms For Residential & Commercial Occupancies. 7.01.Common Man’s Exhaustive Table:  Table for residential & commercial plots 250 sqm and below.  ·        Applicable anywhere in HUDA area ·        To cover mainly individuals: building their own house. ·       Any construction made in such plots in excess of norms shall be summarily demolished and removed.
