VMRDA to process several layout regularisation scheme applications

16 Mar 2022 CW Team

The Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) is yet to process thousands of applications obtained under the layout regularisation scheme (LRS).

The VMRDA obtained approximately 4,400 applications under the LRS scheme. While problems like incomplete applications have been hindering the scrutiny process on the part of the VMRDA, some applicants complain of delayed processing and subsequent disposals of their applications.

VMRDA authorities told the media that they expedited the processing of the applications in recent weeks. While the development of plots in the approved layouts will be limited to somewhere about 60 cents of an acre, the illegal layout developers will sell off over 80 cents of land as it would not conform to the specified guidelines or zoning regulations.

As per VMRDA officials, penalisation charges would be fixed based on plot size and the value of the land. The charges will be calculated based on the prevailing market value as of August 31, 2019. The scrutiny of single plot regularisation will be done based on the in-principle layout pattern sanctioned by the concerned competent authority. Unapproved layouts not included under the scheme will be treated as continuing offences.
