According to a recent government order (GO), the DTCP will issue construction continuance certificate (CCC) and completion certificates (CC).
Also, the GO has directed DTCP officials to conduct site inspection after the building reaches plinth level.
Chennai: The owners of new buildings in the state would have to make an extra trip to local planning authorities as the housing department had mandated completion certificates to buildings built in Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) jurisdiction.
Except for the Chennai Metropolitan Area that falls under Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), the whole state is falling under the purview of DTCP. CMDA has been issuing completion certificates to special buildings to check violations for over many years.
According to a recent government order (GO), the DTCP will issue construction continuance certificate (CCC) and completion certificates (CC).
“DTCP had submitted a proposal for introduction of CC in areas covered by DTCP. The government, after careful examination, have decided to accept the proposal and to introduce the provision for issuing CC to all buildings except industrial buildings and residential buildings up to 3 dwelling unit,” the government order read.
Also, the GO has directed DTCP officials to conduct site inspection after the building reaches plinth level. The application for construction continuance certificate should be disposed of within 15 days from the date of receipt of application.
“After the completion of construction works, the competent authority should conduct a site inspection to check whether the construction is made in accordance with the approved planning permission,” the GO says.
To curtail illegal occupation, the government order also directed the utility agencies to disconnect temporary connection after the completion of construction works and provide a regular utility connection only after the receipt of completion certificates, thereafter.
The move has come in tandem with the Greater Chennai Corporation’s implementation of issuing the completion certificates, on the basis of CMDA direction. The civic body had started to issue CC to building with stilt plus 2 floors and ground plus first floor, which enjoyed immunity hitherto.
Format to follow
The housing department also fixed Rs 4.5 per sq.ft of buildup area to avail of the certificate. “The guidelines for issuing CC will be in line with the norms followed in CMDA and format for obtaining the certificates will be on the basis of National Building Code,” according to the government order.
