a) The Commission noted that the proposal for additions/alterations was last approved (formal stage) at the meeting held on March 20, 2019, with no prior record of an NOC for Completion from the Commission. The current submission received for NOC for Completion lacks clarity regarding whether it pertains to full completion or specifically to the additions/alterations formally approved on March 20, 2019. The submission should be accordingly corrected, correlated, and modified before resubmission for the Commission's consideration.

b) For a better understanding of the proposal side by side photographs ‘Before (submitted 3d views at the time of DUAC formal approval) and After (current actual built construction)’ of the constructed building blocks to be provided.​​​​​​​

c) Additionally, while approving the case for additions/alterations, double stack parking arrangements were shown in the basement to meet the car parking requirements as per the relevant provisions of the Unified Building Bye-Laws. Since, the current proposal is for NOC for Completion, an appropriate number of photographs (of the basement, double stack parking arrangements etc.) shall be provided to substantiate the actual construction of these arrangements at the site.​​​​​​​

d) An adequate number of uncut photographs of the actual built construction (including terrace, solar panels ) for which the NOC is required, along with proper labelling/delineation, have not been provided to substantiate the work executed at the site. Uncut and clear photographs from all sides of the completed superstructure (for which the NOC for completion is required) should be provided, with appropriate labelling and delineation, to substantiate the actual work executed, including the toilet under the Swachh Bharat Mission at the site.​​​​​​​

e) Approval received from DUAC (at the formal stage) shall be superimposed on the plans/elevations/sections etc., over actual built structure on the site, existing & proposed changes done in the design from the approval (by DUAC), to understand the extents of deviations made internally as well as external changes made with respect to the sanctioned plan, if any.

4. Overall, the proposal received at the completion stage lacks adequate documentation, including actual photographs of the built construction at the site, and clarity regarding whether it pertains to the full completion of the project or specifically to the additions/alterations formally approved on March 20, 2019.

Based on the discussion held online and the submission made, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) While reviewing the proposal received at the completion stage comparing with the 3D views formally approved by the Commission at its meeting on August 31, 2016, it was noted that although the provision for Solar PV panels was envisaged on the terrace area and the structural arrangements have been put in place, the solar panels have not yet been installed.
