Setback Space Definition and Margins Formulated By BDA

Setback space is one of the parameters involved in the property of which most of the people are not aware.

Setback Definition:

Setback or Setback space is the open space between the building or a house that is constructed and the border of the plot. Several kinds of authorities have demarcated minimum values of setback that needs to be required.

The setback space limit is set by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) depending on the height of the building, which is in question. For instance, buildings that have a height up to 11.5 meter have different setback limits while those houses that have a height greater than 11.5m.

The below mentioned table shows the setback space limit for buildings shorter than 11.5 m. and plot size lesser than 4000 sq. m:

For plots that are larger than 4000 sq. m. a minimum setback of 5.0m on all sides need to be maintained.
The below table shows the setback space for buildings with a height of more than 11.5 meter:
Height of the building(m)
Front, rear, and side setbacks (min. in m)

For uneven plots, regular setback spaces not taken into account. In its place, depths and widths should be measured in those areas where the plot is uneven and setbacks should be considered for those sections.

Nonetheless, it is important that this setback area is located within the plot and does not comprise any open space outside the plot area. If public open spaces are considered as a part of the setback then it is illegal and could lead to complications.

For an instance, in a plot located at one corner then the two sides facing the road will be taken as front side and the related setbacks would be allotted to these sides.

In those plots that have two roads on both front and the back end then both the road facing sides shall be treated as front and the other two sides will be regarded as right sides.
