Restore Amenity Spaces in Maharashtra
The Issue
Shri Uddhav Thackeray
Hon Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
Subject - Appeal to restore our public amenity spaces.
Dear Sir,
The Maharashtra Govt,Urban Development Dept. has recently sanctioned a modification ( TPS-1818/CR-236/18 (Part 3)/Sec 37(1AA)(c) & Sec 20(4)/Modification/UD-13 Dated 16/6/21 ) of the Unified DC&PR regulation no 3.5.1 “Provision for Amenity space”.
This dilution in amenity space requirements will turn our towns and cities into concrete jungles and it will deprive citizens of essential amenities due to lack of required amenity spaces.
Multiple objections against the dilution of amenity space regulations were submitted by citizens who also attended public hearings,pleaded with the govt to allow cities to retain amenity space regulations as per their own DC rules made by the city in consultation with citizens,for instance - " 15% amenity space reservation on 4000sq mtrs and above building plot in Pune,PCMC,PMRDA region.
However the State Govt has ignored the citizens demand and decided that only for building layout of 20000 sq mtrs and above,the developer will need to hand over only 5% of the area as public amenity space to the local urban body.
Amenity spaces will effectively now become extinct .The loss of open spaces,public amenities,facilities,green cover will have a detrimental effect on the Liveability index and Environment in the towns and cities of Maharashtra.
Already cities of Maharashtra are facing serious problems related to Garbage, Healthcare, Air Pollution, Flooding, Water Supply, Traffic, Parking, Electricity Supply, Encroachments, Illegal Constructions, Lack of Open Spaces, Lack of Recreational Spaces,Reduction in Tree cover etc..
Urban local bodies need amenity spaces to fulfill their constitutional responsibility as per the 74th Constitutional amendment to provide for essential necessities,services and public amenities.
We call upon your intervention in reversing the state govt order and allowing local urban bodies to independently decide amenity space regulations as per the citizens' demand.
Thank you for supporting the citizens of Maharashtra.
