The SEAC reviewed the letter submitted on 07.04.2011 in the 54th meeting held on 12.05.2011. The SEAC noted that the proponent has repeatedly modified the project proposal and each time asked for fresh Environmental Clearance. The latest revised scheme has been submitted on 07.04.2011 to SEAC, West Bengal. However, the number of car parking spaces was stipulated by SEIAA in the Environmental Clearance dated 29.03.2011 was 578 (as per plan sanctioned by KMC). The number of car parks has been drastically reduced to 386 although the number of flats and the Total Built­up area has increased, no clarification or breakup calculation has been provided for this project.

The proponent has mentioned in the letter dated 14.06.2011 that as per the circular of KMC earlier the project site was falling under C Zone which required 1.5 times car parking. However, the premise is not falling under C zone as per new law.

SEAC issued stipulated conditions for Environment Clearance on 56th meeting held on 15.07.2011.
