BIAAPA Zones in Bangalore: What It Means for Your Construction
Have a land in areas like Devanahalli, Doddaballapur, or Bangalore North? Then your land likely falls under the Bengaluru International Airport Area Planning Authority (BIAAPA). This authority manages development around Kempegowda International Airport to ensure growth follows strict safety, environmental, and zoning rules unique to this sensitive zone. BIAAPA’s jurisdiction covers over 228 villages with regulations that differ from typical municipal bodies.
How Does the BIAAPA Construction Approval Process Work?
BIAAPA’s approval is more detailed and strict than regular municipal permits. The region is divided into zones—residential, commercial, industrial, and public utilities—each with specific rules. For example, building near the airport requires a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from airport authorities to maintain air safety.
The approval process includes:
- Submitting complete and accurate documents like title deeds, Khata certificates, encumbrance certificates, and site plans by licensed architects
- Paying fees based on your plot size and land use
- Coordinating with multiple departments for inspections and verifications
- Expect a typical approval time of 25-30 working days, which can take longer if documents are incomplete
What is Change of Land Use (CLU)?
If your land is classified as agricultural but you want to build residential, commercial, or industrial projects, you need to apply for a Change of Land Use (CLU) with BIAAPA under the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961.
The procedure includes:
- Applying with detailed documents like land ownership proof, road details, and affidavits that follow regulations
- Public notification inviting objections for at least 15 days through newspapers
- Review of objections by BIAAPA, then submitting the recommendation to the State Government via BMRDA
- The government approves or rejects the request, and both parties must comply with the order
The CLU process usually takes up to 60 days and includes charges like scrutiny fees, newspaper publication costs, and levies based on land value.
