The City and State Planning Department (DTCP), Haryana, has been out with a series of revised rules governing construction and demolition of the site office. The state government informs the policy based on section 11 of the Punjab schedule and the controlled area is limited from unregulated development laws, 1963, and section 9A of the development of Haryana and Urban Area ACT regulations, 1975.
The developer established a site office, shop and hut for construction workers, etc., for the implementation of their projects and to meet daily requirements. In its new guidelines, DTCP said, “The provisions of the existing Haryana Building Code, 2017, as well as the revoked rules, 1965, did not meet practical requirements. These structures are temporary but do not enter the Ambit ‘Temporary Building’ in accordance with the provision of Haryana Building Code, 2017, as well as the rules that were revoked, 1965, “he said.

Old policies related to temporary structures
According to Haryana Building Code, 2017, “Temporary buildings mean buildings built from non -burning bricks, burning bricks without mortar, corrugated iron, bamboo, straw, wood, board or plywood but may not include buildings built from stones Bricks that are burned, cement cement beams, or stones are placed in mortars and such structures can be dismantled or placed back. “
The DTCP command notes that to meet practical requirements, and for the safety of engineers, workers and others related to construction work, temporary structures as mentioned in HBC, 2017, are not safe. “In fact, the temporary building is contrary to the definition given in the code/rules,” he said.
Senior City Planner, Gurugram, Narendra Singh Solanki said that the need to revise the guidelines was felt because according to the previous definition of the temporary structure, the site office requirements could not be met. He said that this was a good step that the site’s office structure had now been clearly defined.
If you look at the definition, he asks the developer to make the site office temporarily using the material used six decades ago. Even the use of bricks is not permitted. That’s practically impossible today. Thus, the law has been improved. If not, it can open the way for coloner extortion by people who mean bad. The previous rule could have given a question mark to the authorities about how we approve such infrared. Also, people can question that the structure approved on paper is different from what the developer has built, “Solanki said.
He added that the site office could not be in the park, or a site allocated for electric substations.
What is a new policy?
According to the revised policy, the site must be in a licensed area or in the land obtained alone has ownership rights or ownership through a minimum lease period of five years with an adequate independent approach of no less than 33 feet. There is no separate separate approach needed if the site is part of the licensed area. The minimum and maximum area norms for each site office are 0.5 hectares and 2.0 hectares.
The temporary site office will be used within two years from the date of sanctions. The validity of the temporary permit must be a co-terminus with the validity of the license but not outside the project completion date, “said the new guideline.
This notes that temporary site offices, huts and working stores, etc., must be built by considering the norms of safety and other applicable laws, regardless of the definition of ‘temporary buildings’ and construction materials as previously defined.
The developer can apply for a job certificate for the site office after completing the building. The license will be issued by the DTP office concerned. “Work certificates must be obtained within two years from the date of granting permission to establish a site office because the site must be used within two years according to the rules, 1965,” said the new guideline.
There is no settlement certificate if the site office is not destroyed
The department will give an initial permit for a maximum of five years, which will be extended to ‘justified circumstances’ for other periods of a maximum of five years.
The temporary site office will be destroyed within a maximum period of 10 years from the date of granting permit. There is no settlement certificate for the relevant colony will be given if the site office is not destroyed even in cases where the 10 -year period has not expired, “said the guideline.
Solanki said that the maximum time frame of 10 years would reduce the possibility of litigation if there was a delay in the project.
Noida at Uttar Pradesh also has a similar provision where the builder cannot get a settlement certificate if the site office is not destroyed.
New Guidelines to Improve Credibility’
Solanki notes that new guidelines will increase credibility. “Are you going to trust the invaders who set up the office of the site in a train container or coach? Every invader wants to build a site office that looks good because this is the first impression on prospective buyers. This also reflects the future of the project, “he said.
