Important Notes
  • Height Calculations: Maximum height is determined by setback distance as per TNCDBR 2019. Larger setbacks allow taller buildings (30m at 7m setback, +6m per additional 1m setback, max 300m at 20m+ setback).
  • Minimum Building Size: Max Height scenario uses 15m × 15m minimum footprint to ensure compliance with fire safety requirements (dual staircases, fire lift per NBC India).
  • FSI-Exempt Areas: Basement parking, stilt parking, and balconies (up to 5% of unit area) are exempt from FSI calculation per TNCDBR 2019 Rule 29.
  • Airport NOC: No airport height restrictions apply to this location.

Location-based checks (HT lines, water bodies, CRZ, airport, eco-sensitive zones, etc.) are computed from the property's mapped coordinate against third-party and government GIS data, so the distances and zone boundaries shown are indicative — confirm critical findings on-site or with the concerned department.
