Building Height Limits
Permissible building height is regulated by local development control rules (DCR) and depends on factors like road width, zoning category, and proximity to airports or defense areas. Industrial zones typically allow moderate to high-rise structures, but limits still apply.
- Heights often range from 15 to 30 meters for industrial buildings
- Taller buildings may require fire and structural safety clearances
- Airports and defense zones may impose additional vertical restrictions
Setback Requirements
Setbacks define the minimum open space to be maintained around buildings. These vary by plot size, use type, and local authority rules, ensuring safety, ventilation, and access for services.
- Front setback usually ranges from 6 to 10 meters
- Side and rear setbacks may vary from 3 to 6 meters or more
- Corner plots or roads wider than 18 meters may have special setback rules
Ground Coverage and Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
Ground coverage limits the portion of land that can be built on, while FAR determines the total built-up area allowed relative to the plot size. These ensure optimal density and utility access.
- Ground coverage typically ranges from 50% to 70% for industrial zones
- FAR usually ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 depending on zoning and plot size
- Additional FAR may be available in special zones or through premium charges
