New setback regulations in Bengaluru require 5m open space for high-rises exceeding 12 floors, stilt floors will have increased height.

The government of Bengaluru has recently implemented new regulations regarding the construction of high-rise buildings. Under the new setback rules, buildings that exceed 12 floors are now required to maintain a minimum open space of 5 meters around their structures. This regulation aims to enhance safety and accessibility in urban areas.

Additionally, buildings with stilt floors will be permitted to increase their overall height. The move intends to provide greater flexibility for developers while ensuring that the citys skyline maintains an organized and aesthetic appearance.

These regulations are part of a broader effort to address urban planning challenges, improve infrastructure, and ensure sustainable development in Bengaluru, which has seen significant growth in its real estate sector in recent years. The new rules reflect the city’s commitment to adapting to increasing population density while promoting the welfare of its residents.
