The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) Governing Body on Monday withdrew a recent amendment in clause 5.3.5 (b) of the Building Regulations 2008 and restored the original position. According to the decision, the entire plot area could be covered for the construction of basement for parking purpose subject to the provision of RCC, piling along all four sides of the plot but the structure will be below the road level. This was decided in a meeting chaired by Lahore District Coordination Officer (DCO) and LDA Chairman Ahad Cheema. The meeting also decided that this decision will not be applicable on new LDA housing schemes.
