This query is : Resolved
We recently bought a shop in an apartment that is sanctioned as a professional office in the building plan. However, a person from the apartment said that you can't run any food-related business in this shop because this area falls under the R1 zone.
But in the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulation (UDCPR) rule, some food-related activities are allowed in the R1 zone (such as student's mess, pan shop, etc.).
So, if we want to open a student's mess in that professional office, do we need an NOC from the apartment?

Yes, right, in rule also included-
Private coaching classes, student‘s mess in an independent building or part of building
upto100 sq.m. Subject to separate parking facility in the same premises.
But if its permissible in R1 Zone then do we need an NOC from the apartment?

If this is coming under the apartment association, then it would be advisable that you obtain a NOC from them to avoid any confrontation in this regard

Relaxation of zoning restriction, if at all any, is beyond the authority or discretion of the apartment association. As such, what is the relevance of NOC from the association?
