Tamil Nadu has recently amended the Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019 for various developments. The permissible height for non-high-rise buildings has been raised from 18.3 metres to 19.5 metres. Parking space requirements for IT offices have also been reduced to improve feasibility. New regulations now allow for additional developments in the restricted aquifer recharge area in Chennai.
