| Before
going any further, you must evaluate and find out
for yourself, which is the approving authority (Municipal
Corporation, etc.) for developments in the locality
that you are interested in. In certain areas and towns
this could even take the form of a Panchayat (for
e.g. Sylvan County at Mahindra World City is in an
area where the local body is a Panchayat). Knowing
the local body concerned is important as it could
give you an idea of the likely infra-structure at
the location, for e.g., water, electricity, sewage
disposal, etc. Needless to add, at times developers
themselves take on the onus of providing some of the
infra-structure requirements (like is being done in
the case of Sylvan County in Mahindra World City).
Most local bodies also have a development plan for
the entire area under their jurisdiction. Examining
this plan (it is readily available at the office of
the local body) could give you insights into the developmental
activities planned by the local bodies around the
location you are interested in. |
| In
a development plan typically local bodies concerned
give the details of the zoning of the entire area
under their jurisdiction. This would include zones
for commercial development (offices, etc.), housing,
open spaces and other amenities like schools, colleges,
etc. Roads, bridges, already existing and proposed
are also clearly indicated in the plan. Most municipal
authorities also have a website which should give
other information on taxes, etc. |
