Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) – in a bid to facilitate general public – has announced its decision to approve building plans for projects in private housing societies whose no-object certificates (NOCs) were withdrawn by the civic agency, according to news sources.
The CDA issues NOCs after the layout plans of the applicant private housing societies are approved. However, CDA withdrew the NOCs from some residential schemes at a later stage, over some violations committed by the sponsors of the involved schemes.
Subsequently, the property owners in these schemes were deprived of getting building plan approvals for commercial and residential constructions, as the city administration nullified the legal status of these schemes.
The
CDA board discussed the matter after an appeal from the public and greenlighted
the issuance of building plan approvals in the interest of allottees, who
maintained that they bought the plots when the societies had their NOCs. These
individuals will be extended approvals for the construction of houses under the
approved layout plan, even if it was cancelled by the society.
The
board has also decided that in case of default, the sponsors will be held
accountable instead of the allottees.
