Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has shared the updated list of approved housing societies in Islamabad in an effort to provide crucial information to prospective property buyers, a news source reported on July 31.
As per the details, the CDA follows a two-tier approval process. Initially, it grants technical approval to the Layout Plan (LOP) of the project, followed by the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOC) after fulfilling all necessary formalities. Once the NOC is obtained, sponsors can proceed with the development work and the sale of plots.
It is essential to note that Zone-4 allows agro-farming and residential housing schemes as per the provisions of the ICT (Zoning) Regulation, 1992 (amended in 2010). The CDA grants permissions for such schemes only after completing all the required formalities.
Moreover, the civic agency has taken a firm stance against the marketing and advertising of housing projects without the proper NOC. These practices are deemed illegal and unauthorized, and advertisers and marketing agencies are strictly restrained from misleadingly promoting illegal housing schemes. Furthermore, the sponsors of such schemes have been directed to refrain from marketing and developing housing projects without the necessary NOC from the CDA.
Various segments of society have expressed concerns regarding the presence of illegal housing societies, highlighting the significant risks they pose to individuals looking to invest in real estate in Islamabad. With this updated data, potential buyers can now access reliable information, enabling them to make informed decisions and safeguard their investments.
