Chandigarh Housing Board to offer ideal flat model - The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) would soon prepare model of an ideal flat after incorporating the 15 relaxations recently made in the building by-laws for hundreds of CHB flats in the city.
This would help the city residents on what all changes are permissible, besides keeping the enforcement staff from sending out notices for violations which have now been regularized.
Former mayor Harjinder Kaur raised the issue of CHB flat owners in Sector 44 receiving notices from the enforcement cell for such need-based changes with the CHB officials. She complained that this was resulting in unnecessary harassment.
Accepting the long-pending demand of over 40,000 CHB flat owners, the administration had last month decided to allow major need-based relaxations to curb further violations. A 150 square feet room has been allowed in the backyard along with an attached toilet with a height of nine feet. Till now, only a greenroom could be built with height not exceeding seven feet.
It was decided to allow temporary sheds for parking of cars on the ground floor with fibre glass. The additional covered area on the ground floor has been, therefore, increased from 55% to 70%.
