Competent authority: determine it only after identifying the exact property, planning area, local body and development type.
No universal number
Required access width and setbacks depend on plot, road, use, building height, floor area, category and the applicable rules and approvals.
Measure and verify
Compare the approved-plan road width, public record, gift deed or access deed and physical measurement. Note encroachments and pinch points.
Legal access
Physical passage is not necessarily a registered right of access. Have the deed chain and easement position reviewed independently.
Before design or purchase
Get a property-specific written planning opinion and site measurement from competent professionals and confirm it with the responsible authority.
