In a representation listing the 14-point charter of demands, The Coimbatore chapter of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India (CREDAI) has sought specified time of clearance of building projects since the current approval process takes a minimum of six months to one year. They have requested Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami to look into the association’s demands. Presently, the approval process goes through Local Planning Authority (LPA) and Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), Corporation, and that takes time. Such long approval time makes the designs obsolete, so CREDAI has been seeking a specified time of clearance, he said. CREDAI, Coimbatore, has requested approvals of upto 2 lakh sq ft in the city’s LPA itself which would reduce unnecessary commute and contact/physical interaction. At present, various no objection certificates (NOCs) have to be obtained along with recommendation from local Panchayats and the procedure is unclear leading to unethical practices in various departments, he said. An online single-window application and tracking system should allow the status of the application at LPA, DTCP, Corporation or any central or state government department linking all approvals thereby making the system seamless and efficient. Setting up of district offices and local offices for approval process similar to CMDA, Chennai, which would de- centralise the process reducing time and travel for every approval; reduction of approval charges; and lowering of registration charge and incentives for women were some of the demands of the local chapter of CREDAI.
