Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has launched the Auto-DCR (Developments Control Regulation) Building Permission System in Himachal that will automate the process of building plan scrutiny and approval of blueprints and designs of the buildings.
This will not only ensure transparency but also the accountability in the building permit process and approval of building maps, he said here on Wednesday.
“Another feature will be that the registered architect is authorized to give permission and approval for construction of residential accommodation in an area of upto 500 Sq. feet,” he said, adding that this will provide much relief to the people as they will not have to go to the office of TCP for approvals of residential accommodation.

“The applicants can now apply on the online DCR system within all the planning area under Town and Country Planning on http://www.hptcp.hp.gov.in and in six Urban Local Bodies, namely MC Shimla, Solan, Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh Development Authority (BBNDA), Municipal Council Theog and Baddi and Nagar panchayat Arki can apply online on the portal,” he said.
This will further help to streamline the building permit process and reduce the time and effort required for the planned scrutiny and approval, said Sukhu.
