PREFACE

Dear Citizens,

Government of Andhra Pradesh, with a view to regulate unauthorized developments or constructions

undertaken in deviation of the sanctioned plan, has amended the Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Act,
1955, the Andhra Pradesh Municipalities Act, 1965, and the Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development)
Act, 1975 giving a one-time opportunity to owners and builders to compulsorily apply for penalization.
Besides this, Government have also come up with a Scheme for regulation of unauthorized and illegal
layouts and plots in urban areas, giving a one-time opportunity to owners and developers to compulsorily
apply for regulation of such unauthorized and illegal layouts and even individual plots. This Handbook is a
compendium of the relevant rules, procedure, guidelines, Frequently Asked Questions, Instructions to
applicants as well as the authorities for the above-mentioned two Schemes and would be of immense help in
guiding the property owners in filing the application for penalization of unauthorized constructions and
regulation of unapproved and illegal layouts and individual plots.

The two Schemes that have been brought out are self-limiting and would lapse after the stipulated time. Any
applications received after this date cannot be entertained and owners who fail to avail of this opportunity
would be liable to pay heavier penalties besides facing other enforcement measures including demolition.
Citizens are, therefore, requested to avail this one time opportunity for penalization of unauthorized
constructions and regulation of unapproved and illegal layouts and individual plots under the norms
prescribed. The fees and charges prescribed for both Schemes are rationalized and calculation made
simple. Further it has been mandated that the fee and charges collected shall be utilized for development of
civic infrastructure. I hope and trust that citizens of Andhra Pradesh will avail this one- time opportunity.

LAYOUT REGULATION SCHEME (LRS)
 7. GUIDELINES FOR COMPULSORY REGULATION OF UNAPPROVED
AND ILLEGAL LAYOUTS IN MUNICIPAL AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY AREAS

1.Introduction:
The level of urbanization in Andhra Pradesh has been accelerating since 1961. The urban population which stood at 6.27
millions in 1961 increased to 20.05 millions in 2001 with corresponding urbanization level increasing from 17.44 percent in
1961 to 27.08 percent in 2001.The state’s urban population grew by 43.24 percent during 1981-91 as against 36 percent
for the Country. A few major cities in Andhra Pradesh are suffering under the pressure of uneven economic development
and rapid population growth as a result of both migration and natural increase in population. The rapid economic growth
taking place in Andhra Pradesh is likely to further increase the urban population in a significant manner. In this process of
economic growth it is noticed that, among other things, a large number of unapproved and illegal layouts are cropping up
in all urban areas.

2.Background:
The rapid urbanization has put tremendous pressure on lands in urban areas. Government have in the past brought out a
scheme for regularization of such unapproved layouts but this was met with limited success since it was a voluntary scheme
with onus on the plot owners and there were no deterrent provisions against the owners who have not come forward for
regularization. It is also observed that there are numerous unapproved and illegal layouts in all urban areas which are not
only in violation of Master Plan and Layout Rules but also deficient in layout norms and development standards and lacking
in basic civic amenities like proper roads and connectivity, water supply, drainage, street lights on account of which frequent
complaints are received from the public. Such substandard and unapproved subdivision of land into building plots is not
only defeating the purpose of planned development but also affecting the planned extension of services and civic amenities
by urban local bodies

3. Rules for Regulation of Unapproved Layouts:

Government with a view to bring all these unplanned areas into the fold of planned development and to arrange basic
facilities in these areas has come up with a pragmatic solution namely Regulation of Unapproved and illegal layouts.
To give effect to the above policy, Government have issued Statutory Rules for implementation of compulsory disclosure
scheme for Regulation of Unapproved and illegal layouts (herein after called Layout Regulation Scheme (LRS). This scheme is
intended to help the people to bring such unapproved layouts into the planning fold by getting them regulated and to
enable them to get building permission.

4.Objectives:
1. To bring all unauthorized Layouts/subdivisions in to planning frame work and regulate the development.
2. To facilitate the implementation of Master Plan.
3. To improve the circulation pattern of roads.
4. To provide relief to the several persons who have purchased plots without awareness about layout regulations/layout
permissions.

5.Applicability of the scheme:

The Scheme is applicable in the following cases
i. It is applicable to the plots in unapproved layouts which are located within Urban Development Authority Area,

The Government of Andhra Pradesh with a view to promoting planned development of urban areas in the State are

divisions of land into building plots is not only defeating the very objective of planned development but also affecting the
planned extension of services and amenities by the local bodies. Government have in the past brought out a scheme of
regularization of such unapproved layouts but they met with limited success since it was a voluntary scheme with onus on
plot owners to come forward for regularization and there were no deterrent provisions against the owners who did not
come forward for regularization. Therefore in order to bring all these unplanned areas into the fold of planned development

ORDER:

Under sub-section (1) of section 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act, 1975 (Andhra Pradesh
Act No-I of 1975) Government have issued the Urban Development Authority (Hyderabad) Rules, 1977 which came
into force from the 21st April, 1977. The Vice-Chairmen of Hyderabad Urban Development Authority, VGTM Urban
Development Authority and Tirupati Urban Development Authority, in their letters 4th to 6th read above, have
proposed to enhance the rates of development charges, including those relating to residential, commercial,
industrial, agricultural and recreational use. As there is enormous increase in the cost of infrastructure development
since 1996, the Urban Development Authorities have to implement essential schemes like traffic improvement,
construction of bridges and development of green belts, parks etc., from out of their own resources.

2. Government, after careful consideration, hereby revise the rates of development charges for all Urban
Development Authorities in the State. Accordingly the following amendment is issued to the Urban Development
Authority (Hyderabad) Rules, 1977 issued in G.O. Ms. No. 215, HMA & UD (MA) Department, dated 1-4-1977.

3. The amount so collected by Urban Development Authorities shall be kept in a separate account by Vice-Chairmen
of Urban Development Authorities. The Urban Development Authorities shall utilise 85% of the income to
implement the provisions of Master Plans viz., (a) traffic improvement; (b) construction of bridges; (c) development
of Green Belts and Parks etc., and remaining 15% can be utilized for administration and other maintenance.

4. The Urban Development Authorities shall prepare an action plan every year for the implementation of Master Plan
proposals utilizing the amount received towards the Development Charges.

5. The appended notification shall be published in the Extraordinary issue of the Andhra Pradesh Gazette dated 14-
06-2007.

6. The Commissioner of Printing, Stationary and Stores Purchase is requested to publish the notification in the next issue
of the Andhra Pradesh Gazette and supply 2000 copies of the notification for placing them on the table of the House
as required under sub-section (3) of section 58 of the Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act, 1975.
