CRZ - coastal regulation zone new notification by Government of India-SPECIAL DISPENSATION PROPOSAL FOR KERALA COASAL AREA - 50 METRE. permission for construction in crz area

Kerala – Kerala has one of the most unique coastal environments wherein more
than 300 islands are located within its backwaters. Most of these islands/narrow
land strips such as Maruvkad, Challakadavu, Kandakadavu, Puthanthode,
Kannamaly, Cheriyakadavu and Kattiparambil are thickly populated. The
population density along the coastal areas is around 2,150 persons per sq kms.
These islands have been classified as CRZ-I or CRZ-III as per which no
development can be taken up in case of CRZ-I and in case of CRZ-III between 0-
200mts, it is a ‘No Development Zone’. The entire local communities living in
such areas have been requesting the State and the MoEF to provide relaxation to
take up construction of dwelling units. There are several court cases pending in
this regard. In view of the above difficulties and keeping in view the unique
geographical area of Kerala a special dispensation for coastal stretches of Kerala
is proposed to be provided which will include a 50m ‘No Development Zone’
along all backwater islands.

    Hi.
    Is it possible to get some kind of exemption to the crz rules (distance from the htl_) to construct single dwelling unit? if so what is the procedure?

    Apply for building permit to the local body. If they reject it mentioning CRZ, move legally by citing Coastal Management Authority also a party. Go thru the CRZ rules linked above.

    It is great relief that the Kerala High Court is granting interim orders for genuine cases of CRZ regulations... for construction etc

    Dear Sherry, What does "notified port Limit" mean? I live in a municipality that is crz-3 but has a new port being built-to be completed in 2011-2012. How does that affect me - crz-wise? Thanks for all the advice in your blog. MA

    Hi Sherry,

    I had applied for a plan permit to bulid a new house in Kadalundi panchayat in Kozhikode district. The application got rejected saying that the plot falls under CRZ. The plot is approximately 350m from the coastal side. It is rejected saying that the distance is less tahn 500m from the coast.

    Could you please advice is there any other authority i can approach to get the permission as i understand that the current no-development zone is only up 200m from the coast.

    Thank you very much for your valuable advice.

    If the rejection is against the CRZ notification, u can obtain an interim order from the High Court. Pls see the provison of special zone, as far as Kerala is concerned. Also note that the notification will come in to force after 60 days from the publication in official gazette.

    In CRZ III, you can only make renovations and no new constructions permitted, in your case. Some Benches of HC direct the local body to give U/A number for the time being.
    Also see the provisions for special status of Kerala. A 50 Metre limit is noted there.

    Hi sherry,
    I have booked a Flat in the waterfront apartment being constructed by Jain Builders at Maradu. The distance from the waterbody seems to be less than 50mts.I understand that the Municipality has given them permission for this. Is this sufficient? Can I go ahead?>

  23. SHERRY J THOMAS20 July 2011 at 06:10

    If the erstwhile panchayath had issued building permit, and completion certificate, then no problem. But in Maradu, recently, some complaints are reached in the Municipality and they are about to act on it!.

    Dear Sherry,
    We have a property in Dharmadam Panchayat facing the estuary of Dharmadam and Erancholi rivers. We have our ancestal property adjecent to this plot. Between the plot and the existing sea wall there is a Panchayat Road (metal) ie. the plot is in the landward side of the Panchayat Road. The plot is about 100 mtr from the side of Sea wall facing the bay.
    My query is
    a) Which CRZ category does Dharmadam fall.
    b) Is it possible to construct a house for dwelling purpose in the above plot.
