open/space road-side set back shall be measured from the resulting road widening line or the centre line
of the widened road as the case may be. Where there is any conflict between the width provided in the
development plan and the width resulting from the prescription of a regular line of a street under the
Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, the larger of the two shall prevail.

29. Open Space Requirement,-

Side and rear open space in relation to the height of the building for light and ventilation-

(1) Residential and Commercial Zones; (a) Building having length, depth upto 40 m:- The open spaces on

additional width of 10 per cent of the dimension in excess of 40 m. shall be required on the side or rear
open space as the case may be :

Provided that no such increase in additional open space shall be necessary if (a) it is a front open margin
space, or (b) when only store rooms and stairways derive light and ventilation from the open space.

(i) the open space for separation between any building and a single storeyed accessory building need not
exceed 1.5 m.

(ii) the minimum distance between any two ground floor structure in Public

Housing/ High Density Housing shall be 4.5 m. if habitable rooms derive light and

ventilation from the intervening space; if not, the distance may be reduced to 1.5 m.

(iii) except where the plot size is less than 2,500 sq.m. the marginal open space in a plot abutting the
amenity/recreational open space in the same lay-out shall not be less than 3m.;

(iv) where the amenity open space being accessible from all the layout plots does not have an exclusive
means of access, the rear marginal open space shall not be less than 3 m.

(c) Building existing on 1st January 1964 and those constructed thereafter:- (i) In respect of building
existing on 1st January 1964, upper floors, may be permitted with set-back at upper levels in the case of
new development to make up for deficiencies in the open space as required under these Regulations.

(ii) With the permission of the Commissioner, set-backs as in clause (i) above may be allowed for the
buildings constructed after 1st January 1964 to avail of additional FSI that may become available due to
road set-back, Transfer of Development Rights as in Appendix VII, FSI in lieu of staircase room/lift-wells
or any change in the Regulations where by additional FSI may become available.

(d) Set back at upper level:- The Commissioner may permit smaller set backs at upper levels and also
permit additional floor area upto a limit of 10 sq. m. over the permissible FSI to avoid structural
difficulties or hardship but so as not to affect adversely the light and ventilation of an adjoining building
or part thereof.

(e) Tower-like structures:- Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, a tower-like structure may be
permitted only with 6 m. open space at the ground level and one-set back at the upper levels provided
that the total height does not exceed 24 m. If it exceeds 24 m, but does not exceed 37.5 m., the minimum
open space at ground level shall be 9 m. Beyond 37.5 m. the minimum open space at ground level shall
the 12 m. with two set-backs at upper levels. The terrace created by the set-back shall be accessible
through a common passage and /or common staircase only.
(f) Where a room does not derive light and ventilation from an exterior open space:- the width of the
exterior open space as given in these Regulations may be reduced to a minimum of 3.6 m. in respect of
residential building and 4.5 m. for a commercial building upto a height of 24 mt. For a building with
height of 24 m or more such exterior open space shall be minimum 6 m or more, subject to the
requirements of the Fire Brigade Authorities.

than one-fourth of each dimension of the site of the building and the percentage of the building area
does not exceed 25 per cent of the area of the site, when the least dimension of the site is not less than
that specified in the following table for different floor space indices.

store rooms and stairways derive light and ventilation from the open space.

(3) Provisions in marginal open spaces, if the height of the building is restricted:- (a)Notwithstanding the
provisions of sub-regulations (1) of this Regulation, the minimum open spaces in plots in residential and
commercial zones may be relaxed to the values quoted in Table 9 below, if the number of Storeys are
restricted to two.

fronts on road having width more than 18.00 mtrs and where front marginal open space of 12 mtrs.
minimum is observed, provided that open spaces as on other sides are made available as required from
the fire safety point of view. For this purpose, the width of the street, may be the prescribed width of
the street ,provided height of the building does not exceed twice the sum of the width of the existing
street and the width of the prescribed and required open space between the existing street and the
building. The latter width shall be calculated by dividing the area of land between the street and the
building by the length of the front face of the building.

Explanation:- (i) “Prescribed width” here means the width prescribed in the development plan or the
width resulting from the prescription of a regular line of the street under the Mumbai Municipal
Corporation Act, 1888, whichever is larger.

(ii) If a building abuts two or more streets of different widths, it shall be deemed for the purpose of this
Regulations to abut the wider street; the height of the building shall be regulated by width of that street
and may be continued to this height to a depth of 24 m. along the narrower street, subject to conformity
with Regulations 28.

the Race Course) (upto the east side of Dr. Annie Besant Road meeting its junction upto Haji Ali); shall
not exceed a height of 18.3 m. above the average surrounding ground level. Provided however that,
restrictions on height spelt out in this Regulation in areas around the Nehru Centre building shall not be
applicable for the buildings to be constructed for implementation of slum Rehabilitation Scheme under

parapet or could be integrated with the south facing, vertical wall of the building. The best inclination of
the Collector for regular use throughout the year is equal to the local latitude of the place. The Collector
should be facing south. However, for only winter use, the optimum inclination of the Collector would be
(latitude + 15 degrees of the south).

(4) All the new buildings of aforesaid types to be constructed shall have an installed hot water line from
the roof top and also insulated distribution pipelines to each of the points where hot water is required in
the building.

not the appropriate authority, may, on application, thereafter be allotted by the State Government
in favour of the concerned authority which may be a State or Central Government Department,
authority or organization, or any other public authority or organization on appropriate terms as

development of non-slum areas of Dharavi Notified Area (DNA) through sectoral layouts of Dharavi
Redevelopment Project, the provisions in this appendix shall apply to the renewal and redevelopment of
buildings /chawls including cessed properties and such schemes on areas which are part of DRP Area
undertaken by DRP (SRA) through the developer to be appointed by following competitive bidding
process for Dharavi Redevelopment Project or through Public Authority.

The properties which are not part of DRP Area as defined above shall be developed in accordance with

chawls including cessed properties shall be with FSI of 1.72 or the FSI required for rehabilitation of
existing eligible occupants whichever is more which will exclusively be used for rehousing the existing

construction with 1.72 FSI or more shall be termed as Renewal Rehab Component.

(3)(a) If areas redeveloped earlier under SRD / SRA schemes are included in the DRP Area for renewal
and redevelopment under DRP, the TDR generated from the plot in the said SRD/SRA scheme would be
deducted from overall calculation of FSI 4.00.

(b) For private unencumbered plot/s situated within DNA but presently excluded, the FSI shall be 4.00
on their inclusion in DRP. The developer however, shall have to pay premium as decided by DRP on built
up area equivalent to 2.67 FSI of that plot upon which he would be entitled to add built up area
equivalent to 4.00 FSI of that plot to his free sale component.
(4) The construction of Renewal Rehab Component will be carried out by the developer so appointed
under Dharavi Redevelopment Project at his cost as per the specifications, planning and requirements
