Why Should We Provide Setbacks Around the Building?

Compliance with Regulations: Setbacks ensure adherence to local building codes and zoning laws, helping to avoid legal issues or penalties.

Ventilation and Natural Light: Setbacks allow free flow of air and adequate natural light into the building, improving indoor air quality and reducing energy consumption.

Adding Greenery in Setbacks

• Noise      and Pollution Reduction: Landscaped areas with greenery around the      structure reduce noise and air pollution, contributing to a healthier      environment.
• Building      Maintenance: Greenery provides space for proper ventilation and drainage,      aiding in the building’s upkeep.
• Rainwater      Percolation: During the rainy season, landscaped setbacks enable water to      percolate and recharge the groundwater table.
• Peaceful      Environment: Green spaces create a calming, pleasant atmosphere for      residents, enhancing their overall well-being with living experience &      reducing stress and improving mental health.

Safety: Setbacks provide space for emergency access and reduce the risk of fire spreading between adjacent buildings.

Enhances Building’s Aesthetic Appeal: Greenery enhances the building’s look, blending it harmoniously with its surroundings.

Recreational Space: Setbacks can be utilized as small gardens, seating areas, or play zones, adding functional value.

Encourages Biodiversity: Landscaped setbacks attract birds, butterflies, and other fauna, enriching the ecological value of the site.

Incorporating setbacks not only ensures compliance but also enhances the environmental, functional, and aesthetic aspects of a building, making it a sustainable and liveable space.
