Question

A ___________ line usually parallel to the plot boundaries and laid down in each case by the Authority, beyond which nothing can be constructed towards the site boundaries.

(a) Building line

(b) Control line

(c) Property line

(d) Plot line

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Building line

To explain I would say: Building line or Set-back is provided to avoid traffic congestion in front of the building. Buildings like mall, multi-complexes, factories, etc. which attract a large number of vehicles, should have be set-back a further distance apart from the building line. This line after this extra margin is called as Control Line.
