GMDA to Review Land Use Approvals at 130 Gurugram Sites

05 Mar 2025 CW Team

CLU applications can be submitted through the GMDA’s online portal and are reviewed by the town planning wing before approval. Approximately 130 sites where CLU permissions were granted will undergo inspections to verify adherence to the approved conditions. The inspections will assess whether construction and related development activities align with the permissions issued by the authority.

The three teams assigned to this task will be led by Assistant Town Planners (ATPs), who are required to submit their reports by March 10, 2025. These reports will include a compiled list of cases where CLU applications were either rejected, returned, or had a Letter of Intent (LOI) returned. The ATPs will document the construction status of each site as per the areas allocated to them.

CLU is a regulatory process that permits the conversion of land use from its original purpose to commercial, residential, or industrial purposes. The approval is granted by the relevant authority, such as GMDA, the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP), or the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), depending on the jurisdiction. The process ensures that land development aligns with the designated urban planning framework.

As part of the review, the teams will also check whether any construction has taken place on sites where CLU permission was denied. If unauthorized development is detected, the enforcement wing of GMDA will take appropriate action. The final approval for CLU applications is granted by the CEO of GMDA after thorough vetting by the town planning wing and verification of compliance with necessary regulations.
