The parking place norms as specified by the civic agencies for properties in plotted residential areas with its emphasis on car park space being provided within the house compound is a blessing for some but an unpleasant necessity for others. With many feeling it ought to be revised.
According to the Delhi Master Plan 2021, while the smaller plots in residential colonies need not have parking space for a car within the compound, it is mandatory for all plots of 250 sq mt and above to have parking space in the yard.
The mandatory provision for parking space seems like a great idea as it will provide for marked parking for a building's residents and also allow for less congestion on the streets adjoining the properties.
Those going in for a new construction are, however, not very happy because they feel that providing for the mandatory parking space at the ground level will leave them with relatively less space for construction. The ground floor is generally considered prime space in a house. To leave a large part of it vacant for parking is thought by many as a complete waste of this prime space.
As per the Municipal Corporation of Delhi ( MCD ) guidelines for sanctioning building plans in plots between 250 sq mt to 300 sq mt, two equivalent car spaces ( ECS ) have to provided at the ground level. In plots that exceed 300 sq mt one ECS for every 100 sq mt of builtup area has to be provided.
(In residential properties built on plot size less than 250 sq mt along notified roads and commercial streets provision of parking space rules differ and have not been detailed above.) The writer is a senior columnist.
