Mumbai: Obtaining a no-objection certificate (NOC) to construct a building around airports has become a tad easy with the civil aviation ministry stating that local bodies will have the power to give the permission according to their own regulations and bylaws, as long as they follow the zoning maps to be prepared by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
According to the ministry's new plan, the AAI will prepare colour-coded zoning maps for each airport, specifying the gradation in the heights of buildings depending on the distance from runways, and hand them over to the local planning bodies such as the municipal corporation in the city. The body will be empowered to sanction constructions based on AAI rules as well as its own regulations.
Builders seem to be happy with the news, hoping that the development would facilitate quicker granting of NOCs for which they have to wait for a long time.
