Rules and regulations regarding Lake Buffer Zone Clarity
16-Oct-2023 (In Civil Law)
NGT order in Bangalore changed the buffer zone of lake from 30 meters to 75 meters, I am planning to invest in a project which was approved before this order and is 30 m from the lake, Just wanted to know whether this new lake buffer zone (75 m) will apply on ongoing/under construction projects or not?
The Supreme Court on Monday asked all builders in the buffer zones of Bengaluru's famed lakes and wetlands to push back their projects 75 metres from the edge of these water bodies and refused to halt demolitions initiated by the local authority to open up drains discharging excess water from lakes to prevent a repeat of the recent deluge.
A bench, comprising Chief Justice of India TS Thakur and justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud, also directed that no construction activity be carried out for now in all such cases while staying fine amounts imposed on one entity by the National Green Tribunal. The NGT had in an order passed on May 4 increased the buffer zone to be maintained as green zones around wetlands and lakes from 30 metres to 75 metres from the edge of the water body.
This has been challenged earlier in the top court, which stayed a fine on another entity on an assurance that no further construction activity will be carried out.
