To consider: amendment u/s 419 of WBM Act, 1993 of West Bengal Municipal
Building Rules, 2007
In this connection the Chairman reported in the meeting that many Municipalities had already
amended West Bengal Municipal Building Rules, 2007 form for convenience of Rate payers. In
few cases the rule is too stiff for the people so that they can not get sanction of their Building
Plan obeying West Bengal Municipal Building Rules, 2007. Naturally, unauthorized
constructions are increasing gradually day by day. Then he proposed the following amendment
in the West Bengal Municipal Building Rule 2007 for this Municipality with effect from 1st
November 2011.
A. Building Sites
4. Application for approval of building sites and for permission to construct or reconstruct
building other than huts. In case if there were any approved building plan no need of
approval of site plan required before submission of building plan.
8. Control of development of parks, public open spaces, ponds, wetlands, canals, river and
other water front and brick fields.-
In case of abandoned brick field where the land has already been filled up and developed
and there are existing residential buildings the C-in-C may develop the Land and may give
permission to sanction building plan.
i.

these rules, engage a engineer (Degree or Diploma) as stated below to supervise the construction
compulsorily and he should inform the municipal authority in writing the name and address of
