Layout Approvals in Bangalore
Your plot must exist on an approved plan — not just on the ground
An approved layout is the foundation of a legal plot. Here is how layout approvals work around Bengaluru and what to verify.
Who Approves Layouts?
Residential layouts must be approved by the competent planning authority for the area where the land lies. Around Bengaluru this may be the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) within its local planning area, or a local planning authority under the Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA) for areas outside it, among others. The authority depends on the land's exact location; your lawyer can confirm the correct one for any survey number.
For Prestige Olive Oak, confirm the approving authority and approval reference in the RERA filing once registered.
What an Approved Layout Contains
- Plot numbers, dimensions and areas
- Road widths and hierarchy
- Parks, open spaces and civic amenity (CA) sites
- Utility areas such as STP, transformers and water tanks
- Conditions on development and the release of sites
Release of Sites
A detail many buyers miss.
Mortgaged Sites
Authorities often hold back a portion of plots until infrastructure is completed.
Release Orders
Plots are released in stages once works are certified.
Check Your Plot
Confirm your plot is released (or when it will be) before registration.
In the Agreement
The agreement should address release timelines.
Red Flags
- Plot number not shown in the approved layout
- Approval from a body that does not have planning powers for that area
- ‘Layout approval applied’ with no reference number
- Parks or CA sites converted into saleable plots
