The Kerala State Small Industries Association (KSSIA) has said that there is no need to obtain building and developer permits from local bodies for enterprises on private industrial estates. The association alleged that there had been reports to the contrary based possibly on misunderstanding.
It said private industrial estates are given nod by a committee in which local bodies have representation. Complaints are addressed within the committee before industrial estates are sanctioned. Besides, the existing rules say that no building and developer permits are required for enterprises on estates owned by other government agencies too.
All industrial estates have been declared industrial areas under the Single Window Clearance Board Act. The government has also promised to protect estates with more than 15 acres of area from land reform rules, association State president A. Nizaruddin said on Monday.
