LATEST UPDATE AS ON 29 JUL 2008

Number of DUs initially planned in Part 'A' (50 acres plot) has reduced due to the road which has been planned by the State Government passing through it. The short fall of DUs in Part 'A' is being adjusted in Part 'B' (11 acres plot). Plans have been sanctioned by the local authorities in respect of Part-'B' and tenders have been issued. The work in Part 'B' is expected to start by end Sep 08.

The site at Part 'A' now consists of two portions located on either side of the road which is passing almost through the middle of the site. The portion on the North side of the road measuring about 24 acres has been declared as 'Residential' in the Outline Development Plan (ODP) published by the Government, whereas the portion of site falling on the South of the road has not been declared as 'Residential' in the ODP though the same has already been got converted to 'Residential' from the appropriate authorities by AWHO. The housing scheme cannot be submitted to the sanctioning authorities for this portion of the site till the time ODP is amended. This has to be done by the Government of Karnataka. The matter has been taken up by AWHO as well as AG even with the office of the Governor to resolve the matter.

In the meantime, portion of the site on the North of the road has been planned and drawings have been submitted for the approval of Bangalore International Airport Area Planning Authority (BIAAPA) under whose jurisdiction the site falls. The portion of site on South of the road has also been planned and the drawings will be submitted to BIAAPA only when the site is declared residential and ODP is amended.
