CLIMATE RESILIENT CONSTRUCTION – INTEGRATION OFENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE WITH SANCTION.- Land, Air, Noise, Water, Energy, biological, socio-economic, solid / other waste management are the main facets considered in relation to Pre, during and Post Building Construction for Sustainable Environment Management. Therefore, it is necessary for the building process to ensure compliance to various conditions laid down by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
The building construction sector is a major contributor towards carbon footprints which affects climate change. India is committed towards mitigating the effects of climate change and moving towards internationally accepted norms for environmental friendly building construction. Currently this objective of environmental safeguard is achieved through obtaining a specific environmental clearance (EC) for any construction project having a size of more than 20,000Sq.m This is administered under notification of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
With rapid urbanisation and growth of Indian economy, it is anticipated that the construction activity will experience a proportionate growth. Government is also committed towards streamlining of clearances for buildings and real estate sector and empowering the urban local bodies with an objective of Ease of Doing Business.
Integration of environmental condition in building bye-laws:
(1) When the State Governments notifies the bye-laws and rules concurred by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Central Government may issue an order stating that no separate environmental clearance is required for buildings to be constructed in the States or local authority areas;
(2) The Authority shall certify the compliance of the environmental conditions prior to issuance of Completion Certificate, as prescribed in the Byelaws, as per the requirements stipulated for such buildings based on the recommendation of the Environmental Cell constituted in the local authority;
(3) For the purpose of certification regarding incorporation of environmental conditions in buildings, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change may empanel through competent agencies, the Qualified Building Environment Auditors (QBEAs) to assess and certify the building projects, as per the requirements of this notification and the procedure for accreditation of Qualified Building Auditors and their role as given at Appendix-XV;
(4) In order to implement the integration of environmental condition in building bye-laws, the Authority shall constitute the Environment Cell (herein after called as Cell), for compliance and monitoring and to ensure environmental planning within their jurisdiction;
(5) The Cell shall monitor the implementation of the bye-laws and rules framed for Integration of environmental conditions for construction of building and the Cell may utilise the services of the Empanelled professionals as prescribed in Appendix-IA;
(6) The Cell shall function under the administrative control of the Authority;
(7) The composition and functions of the Cell are given at Appendix-XVI;
(8) The environmental concerns are integrated in the building bye-laws, as per their size of the project, and the Authority shall follow the procedure, as given below:
(9) No Environmental Clearance from Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and no Consent to Establish and Operate under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 will be required from the State Pollution Control Boards for buildings up to 1,50,000 square metres.
15.1 Environmental conditions for compliance during Building approvals.- The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has now decided to integrate the environmental concerns into building plan approval process and empowering the concerned local body to approve and certify compliance of stipulated requirements. The new building construction proposals, for the purpose of this chapter are classified in the following 3 categories: -
(1) Building Category ‘1’: Built-up Area 5,000Sq.m to < 20,000Sq.m;
(2) Building Category ‘2’: Built-up Area ≥ 20,000Sq.m to 50,000Sq.m; and
(3) Building Category ‘3’: Built-up Area ≥ 50,000Sq.m to 1,50,000Sq.m
Note: area mentioned against each building category is the total constructed area of the building including car parking area
15.1.1 BUILDINGS CATEGORY ‘1’ (5,000 to < 20,000 Square metres).- A Self Declaration Form to comply with the environmental conditions as stipulated in Table 15.1along with Form-IIb and certification by the Building Environment Auditor to be submitted by the project proponent as a common application for building licence to the local authority along with the specified fee in separate accounts. Thereafter, the authority may issue the building License incorporating the environmental conditions in it and allow the project to start based on the self-declaration and certification along with the application. After completion of the construction of the building, the project proponent may update Form-IIb based on audit done by the qualified Building Environment Auditor (BEA) and shall furnish the revised compliance undertaking to the local authority. Any noncompliance issues in buildings less than 20,000 square metres shall be dealt as prescribed in the rules framed under Section 76F and 76 FFF of Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act,1961.
15.1.2 BUILDINGS CATEGORY ‘2’ (>20,000 to <1,50,000 Square metres).- A Self Declaration Form to comply with the environmental conditions as stipulated in Table 15.2 along with Form-IIb and Compliance Report submitted by Environment Engineer on Record (EER) to be submitted by the project proponent as a common application for building licence to the Authority along with the specified fee in separate accounts. The fee for environmental appraisal will be deposited in a separate account. The Environment Cell shall process the Application after obtaining Evaluation Report of the Building Environment Auditor (of the compliance report submitted by the EER) and if the Application and drawings / details submitted are in order, forward the same to the CEO
If the Environment cell is of the opinion that the application/drawings submitted by the proponent is not in accordance with the provisions of these Byelaws (based on the evaluation report submitted by the Building Environment Auditor (BEA), the Environment Cell shall suggest the necessary changes to be made and forward the same to the CEO of the Authority. The CEO shall issue endorsement to the proponent as per the suggestions made by the Environment Cell and the proponent shall make the necessary changes and resubmit the application / drawings to the satisfactions of the Environment Cell and the Environment Cell shall accept the revisions made by the proponent.
According to the Proponent or the concerned EER, if the defects / changes suggested in the endorsement are incorrect, the proponent may file objection, to the CEO, stating the correctness of the drawings / details submitted.
If any such objection is received from the Proponent, the CEO of the Authority shall conduct joint enquiry along with the Applicant, the concerned EER, the Building Environment Auditor who has submitted the Evaluation Report and the Environment Cell which has suggested the changes in the drawings / details submitted (based on which the endorsement was issued), by giving notice to all, within seven days of receiving objection.
During the enquiry, the CEO of the Authority, after hearing the views of both the parties, shall either accept or reject the objection raised by the proponent and instruct the proponent accordingly in writing and sending a copy of the same to the Environment Cell and the decision of the CEO shall be final.
