APPENDIX
NOTIFICATION
Whereas, in the Development Plan of Hyderabad City, a hierarchy of business
and commercial centers was envisaged as part of the total system of amenities and
services comprising of: i) two Central Business Districts at Abids-Koti-Nampally-
Osmangunj and Ranigunj-Kingsway area in Secunderabad and ii) the District
Commercial Centres (Sub-Central Business Districts) at Ameerpet, Tarnaka and
Chandrayangutta and besides these, the Development Plan has also identified
roadside commercial activities along the major roads.

2. And whereas, in view of the fact that many of the major roads in erstwhile
Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad area have become potential for commercial
development, Government with a view to facilitate owners / developers to have a
clear picture about the uses permitted along the major roads and to have clear
transparent policy, declared certain major roads as commercial roads in G.O.Ms.No.
508 MA Dated: 10-11-2002, G.O.Ms.No. 92 MA Dated: 11-3-2004 and G.O.Ms.No.
944 MA Dated: 22-11-2005, G.O.Ms.No.484 MA & UD (I 1) Department, dated.
07.07.2007, G.O.Ms.No.501, MA & UD (I1) Department, dated. 11.07.2007,
G.O.Ms.No.554, MA & UD (I1) Department dated.30.07.2007, G.O.Ms.No.599 MA & UD
(I1) Department, dated. 13.08.2007, G.O.Ms.No.657, MA & UD (I 1)
Department, dated.01.09.2007. Through these orders the Commissioner, erstwhile
Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad was also authorized to grant building
permissions for construction of Residential / Commercial / Institutional buildings at
the option of the owners of the sites abutting these roads subject to collection of
Impact Fee as specified therein irrespective of the usage envisaged in the Master
Plan / Zonal Development Plans. Accordingly, the Commissioner, erstwhile
Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad and now Greater Hyderabad Municipal
Corporation has been permitting various commercial / Residential / Institutional
buildings all along the said notified commercial roads.

3. And whereas, it has come to the notice of the Government that most of the
above notified commercial roads are becoming shopping streets with higher order
commercial activities irrespective of the width of roads and locational aspects,
where no hierarchy or level of activity / service is maintained, which in turn is
posing severe problems of parking and traffic congestion in the city. Therefore, with a
view to have a clear hierarchy of commercial and business activities and services on
the notified commercial roads, it has been decided to categorise the notified
commercial roads into three categories viz., A, B and C and allow commercial
activities/buildings accordingly by levying the impact fee.

4. And whereas, a notification has been published, as required under sub-

section (2) & (3) of section 12 of Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act,
1975, read with Rule 13-A of Urban Development Authority (Hyderabad) Rules,
1977, in the Extra -Ordinary issue of A. P. Gazette No. 42-A, part-1, Dated: 24-01-
2007 inviting objections/suggestions from the public on the above categorization of
commercial roads;

1. And whereas, in response to the above Gazette Notification, the following

objections/suggestions have been received from the Public.

i. Sri K. Arun Kumar & K.R Arvind Reddy, Padmarao Nagar,

Secunderabad 25, requested to declare the road leading from
Musheerabad X roads to Padmaraonagar (upto Swaraj Press) Junction as

road in front of Old Gandhi Medical College at Basheerbagh from

 -3-

iii. M/s. SRSR Estate Private Limited, Road No. 2 Banjara Hills,
objected to the proposed increase in the levy of impact fee and
categorization of Commercial Roads contending that the existing fee are
reasonable and any further increase is bad, illegal, un-reasonable and
arbitrary and classification of commercial roads into 3 categories is
without any basis, contrary to factual aspects, far from the powers
envisaged under the Act or Rules and motivated to enhance the Impact
Fee.

iv. Smt P. Sri Kumari Road No. 12, Banjara Hills & Sri T. Ashok Kumar,
Masab Tank, Hyderabad, objected to proposed increase in Impact Fee and
requested to reduce the existing Impact Fee to a flat rate of Rs. 40/- per Sq
Feet for all categories and include Road No. 12 of Banjara Hills in
Category A of Commercial Roads.

6. Government have examined the above objections/suggestions. The

suggestions at 1 and 2 pertain to declaration of new roads as commercial roads,
which is not within the purview of this Notification and therefore requires to be
examined separately. Objections 3 and 4 pertain to review of the Impact Fee which
have been examined and the same are not agreed to. However, the fee have been
rationalized as given hereunder.
