Prayagraj: Restrictions on group housing and multi-storey buildings in Civil Lines, Georgetown and Tagore Town may be lifted after the state govt’s approval to the amendments to the Prayagraj Master Plan-2031. The Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) has invited public objections and suggestions before the changes are implemented..The restrictions imposed under Master Plan-2031 had led to difficulties for residents and developers in these areas. Taking note of the problems, PDA had sent a proposal to govt seeking amendments to remove the restrictions which the govt has no approved.Residents and other stakeholders can submit their objections and suggestions in writing, addressed to the PDA vice-chairman, in three copies. Only objections and suggestions received within 15 days from the date of publication of the notice will be considered.Under the proposed amendment, construction will be permitted on residential plots measuring less than 200 square metres in Civil Lines, Georgetown and Tagore Town, subject to approval of building maps by PDA. The amendment will also allow residential buildings to exceed the earlier maximum permissible height of 7.50 metres.The move is also expected to revive several group housing projects stalled due to the restrictions. Several builders had submitted applications to PDA for group housing and multi-storey projects in Civil Lines, Georgetown and Tagore Town. However, with the master plan prohibiting such construction, the applications remained pending.The proposed amendment may increase the availability of housing options in some of the city’s established residential localities and provide prospective homebuyers with more choices.PDA is expected to proceed with the amendment after examining the objections and suggestions received during the stipulated period.
