Why this matters to a buyer or owner

For a buyer or owner, the notification shows that multistoried residential development is permitted on this specific site, but only if these conditions are met. It is not itself a building plan approval, so anyone dealing with this property should check whether the required clearances, reports, certificates and approved plans were actually obtained.
