Premium Floor Space Index in Erode

• Roads measuring 18 metres and above permit Premium Floor Space Index of 40 per cent of the normally allowable Floor Space Index.
• Roads measuring 12 metres to below 18 metres permit 30 per cent.
• Roads measuring 9 metres to below 12 metres permit 20 per cent.
• The benefit is linked to the proportionate land extent needed for the additional floor area.
• The charge equals the cost of that proportionate land, based on the Registration Department guideline value on the planning permission application date.
• Payment is normally 50 per cent in cash and 50 per cent through a Development Rights Certificate or Special Development Rights Certificate.
• The Director of Town and Country Planning may permit full cash payment if satisfied that the required certificates are unavailable.
• The applicant must pay the charge in one lump sum to the relevant Member Secretary before receiving planning permission.
• An applicant seeking the benefit must state that intention and undertake to pay when filing the planning permission application.
