The SHIV SENA-controlled Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has thrown a spanner in party president Uddhav Thackeray’s plan to build a new home for his family in Bandra. The proposal submitted by the Thackerays to the BMC shows they have plans to build two triplex apartments in the new building. Considering the fact that TDR utilisation would be permitted on the property, the Thackerays have planned to construct up to 10,500 sq ft in all. In other words, plots have to be directly accessible from a public street or a municipal road to avail the additional construction right. While the firm initially applied for permission to construct a building on the property, the Thackerays later took it over.
