UTTARAKHAND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT BYELAWS/REGULATIONS 2011 (2017) The Uttarakhand Building Construction and Development Bye Laws / Regulations, 2011 (Amendment 2017) Page 1 UTTARAKHAND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT BYELAWS/REGULATIONS 2011 (2017) Preface Whereas the Government of Uttarakhand observed that the provisions relating to grant of permission for building operation and development along with other provisions are existing; in order to streamline the provisions of Building Regulations and to facilitate citizens, the Building Regulations being followed by the different Agencies / Departments / Authorities were then repealed by the Government and the Uttarakhand Building Construction and Development Byelaws 2011, was made applicable to entire State of Uttarakhand. Thereafter, considering and examining several representations / suggestions received on the Byelaws and in the light of Ease of Doing Business, the State Government proposes to make a set of separate comprehensive regulations, relating to receipt of applications in Common Form for the purpose of obtaining permissions for building operation, land development and the procedure for disposal thereof to be followed as well as provisions for registration and accreditation of technical persons etc. Hence the Byelaws has been revised and streamlined as the Uttarakhand Building Construction and Development Byelaws 2017 including the components of green buildings, climate resilient constructions among others.
