Maharashtra Eases Redevelopment Norms with Mini Cluster Policy in Mira-Bhayandar
Maharashtra's Urban Development Department has introduced a 'Mini Cluster Redevelopment' policy easing redevelopment norms in Mira Road and Bhayandar. The minimum land area requirement has been reduced from 10,000 to 2,500 sq m, and the minimum number of buildings per cluster from five to three. This aims to facilitate redevelopment of aging, dangerous buildings in the area under the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation's Urban Renewal Plan. The policy requires government approval and ensures redevelopment does not hinder broader urban plans.
