Government approves larger homes in private forests of Goa, Uttarakhand

The Indian government has given the green light for residential constructions up to 250 square metres in private forests of Goa and Uttarakhand. This groundbreaking decision aims to strike a balance between conservation efforts and meeting the growing housing demands in these ecologically sensitive regions.

The recent approval signifies a departure from previous restrictions, allowing for larger housing units within the specified size limit. This move is expected to provide a boost to the real estate sector while maintaining a focus on environmental preservation. It reflects a careful consideration of the need for sustainable development in these picturesque states.

By permitting larger homes, the government aims to cater to the evolving housing needs of the residents without compromising the ecological integrity of the private forests. The decision is expected to have a positive impact on both the real estate market and the overall socio-economic landscape of Goa and Uttarakhand.

However, stringent guidelines and environmental norms will likely be enforced to ensure responsible construction practices and mitigate potential adverse effects on the delicate ecosystems. The move aligns with the government's commitment to balancing developmental goals with environmental conservation, setting a precedent for responsible urbanisation in ecologically fragile areas.
