Airport authorities halt construction in Dwarka, say buildings’ height a concern
REJIMON C K
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has put on hold all ongoing construction work at Dwarka Sector-8, claiming the houses fall in the air route and can lead to a major accident. The AAI has now directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to restrict the height of the buildings and ensure that any plans for construction in the area have clearance from them before work can begin. This is the first time the AAI has objected to construction work in the area. Nearly 100 plots in Dwarka Sector-8 have been affected by this order. The AAI has said that these buildings fall in the path of the aircraft when it is landing on runways 27/9 and 28/10.
The DDA has now shot off letters to the plot owners informing them about the necessity of obtaining a no-objection certificate from the airport authorities apart from an approval for their building plan from the land agency.
Officials of the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) authorities referred to a special gazette notification issued by Government of India on June 30, 2008. “No building or structure higher than the height specified in Annexe II (15 metre) to this notification shall be constructed or erected on any land within a radius of twenty kilometres from the aerodrome reference point,” the notification states.
DIAL claims the buildings in the area fall in the flight path. It is, however, silent on buildings have already come up and taller than the specified height.
The DDA, in a letter dated February 25 to the AAI, said, “In Sector-8, Dwarka, NOC has been granted by the AAI for the Food Research and Analysis Centre in Plot 2A, and in case of other buildings, with height up to 22.32 metre...(since) buildings with higher heights have already been cleared by AAI, the clearance of buildings with lesser heights may not be necessary,” the letter notes. The DIAL wrote back to the DDA on March 5, saying construction in Sector-8 would affect runways 27/9 and 28/10. The DDA has now sent out letters to all buildings under construction.
A top DDA official noted that the decision was under review and that whether structures without an NOC would be demolished or not was still under discussion. The official added that the agency viewed the proposal as impractical, since a radius of 20 km was a large area. A further decision would be expected on the issue.

Rajimon Ji,
Sect-8, is surrounded by Vill. bagdola on one side and Raj nagar on the other side, but very strange,if u have to construct any building even of 4 mt height , u wll have to obtail NOC from ATC, i.e an affair of Rs. 20-25000 and a matter of 3-4 months, but if u own any building in any of the adjoining unapporoved coloney or village , u have not to take any NOC and u can even install Mobile Tower also upto 20 mt. ht. by greasing these authorities.
then ATC has no objection, silimar Towers of more than 20 mt. ht exist still in Bagdola vill. which is very close to runway ,but hardly matters to them.
Now u have to decide which place is more comfortable , Authorized or Unauthorized?

There is need of comprehensive discussion on this among all the civic agencies so that no mistake is committed while sanctioning new building plans.
Surprising, where were Airport Authority and Government when the plan of multistoried apartments in sec. 8 and others in Dwarka were cleared and buildings were constructed?
It means now the landing is not safe due to buildings of heights over 15 mtrs near the airport but landing is smooth so far.
This is the time to awake that no more apartments having heights of more than 15 mtrs should be built near the runway.
The statement of the Airport Authority about the periphery of 20 km should be rechecked. In the past, I read this area should be 1.5 to 2 kms. from the runway. However, if it is true, no building above 5-6 stories can take place in that area and what about the floors over and above 15 mtrs falling on the air route?

Quietly, permissible height of buildings around airports hiked , TOI 25th-July, 2009 Page No.15
Chinmayi Shalya | TNN
Mumbai: The Union civil aviation ministry and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) have quietly doubled the maximum permissible height of constructions allowed around airports in India. Civil aviation minister Praful Patel said a major reason for the increase — from 150 to 300 metres — is that more permissions are being sought for taller buildings in all major metros, including Mumbai.
In Mumbai, this would mean that taller structures could be allowed in areas 1.5km or more from the airport. Builders wanting to go vertical in areas like Andheri, Santa Cruz, Kurla, Bandra, Ghatkopar and other regions further from the airport stand to benefit. According to airport rules, no construction is allowed upto 150 metres from runways. From 150 metres to around 500 metres, construction is allowed only for airport operations. After that, a 1-metre high construction is allowed for every 7 metres one moves further from runways, except for take-off and landing paths, for which a 1-metrehigh construction is allowed for every 20 metres one moves further from the runways.
Roughly speaking, this means a 100-mt-high construction can be 1.2km from the runways and a 150-metre-high construction can be around 1.5km from runways. But whereas earlier the construction limit would be capped at this distance, now builders can go in for taller structures the further a plot is from the airport. A 200-metre-high construction could be 1.9km away and a 300-metre-tall building could be 2.6km away.
Similarly, in take-off and landing paths, earlier a 150-metre-high building could be 3.5 km from runways. Now, contructions can gradually climb with a 200-metre-high building 4.5 km away and a 300-metre building 6.5 km way. In a circular released in May, the AAI notified all airports in the country that the maximum permissible height for vertical structures has now been capped at 300 metres.
