State Government Comes Up With a New Cluster Redevelopment Policy in Mumbai
The government which failed to cut back the unauthorized constructions has decided to come up with new cluster redevelopment policy for the residents of the unauthorized flats and occupants of the illegal shops in Mumbai. These set of people will now be legally rehabilitated as a part of this new policy.
According to the sources, the state government will be offering rehabilitation space of around 250 sq ft to 700 sq ft area to all these unauthorized occupants. However, the cost of construction has to be borne by the dwellers and no incentives will be given to the developer for rehabilitating them.
The government had launched a similar redevelopment policy in 2009 but there were not much takers at that time hence the government has decided to come up with a fresh policy now which would replace the earlier. The sources further added that the urban development department has sent the new policy plan to the Chief Minister for the approval. The Chief Minister would very soon be sending the approval.
If the cluster rehabilitation is restricted to one acre then the incentives among the residents is rehab flat of around 323 sq ft or 30 sq m. The incentives may go up by 10 to 15% or even by 25% depending upon the plot size, if it is a mega cluster. The government is also planning to relax condition of the property tenure of the redevelopment to 70% from 100%. 70% of the occupants may have to give the consent.
As BMC is the planning authority, it will draw the limitations of each cluster to ensure that the city gets its infrastructure and public amenities. After the approval of the Mumbai plan, the government will be coming up with a similar policy in Thane to curb the illegal cluster growth.
