LUCKNOW: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has commenced approval of compounding maps under the newly introduced Model Building Construction and Development Bylaws and Model Zoning Regulation-2025.
Compounding refers to the process of legalizing buildings constructed without prior approval or that deviate from the original plans. This initiative aims to assist property owners who have previously built structures to regularize them under the new guidelines.
During a Janata Adalat at the authority’s headquarters, LDA vice chairperson Prathamesh Kumar announced this directive. Zonal officers have been tasked with specific targets for approving mitigation maps, ranging from 75 to 220 per zone, to enhance efficiency and minimize delays.
The updated regulations permit increased land coverage and Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The VC underscored the importance of prioritizing mitigation approvals in the public interest.
