These Rules are for application in second class Townships. Rule 1 as amended is with a view to controlling the erection of new buildings by necessitating the submission of plans of the proposed building including a block plan shewing the position of other buildings and erections on the same plot and on immediately adjoining plots, for the inspection and sanction in writing by the Local Authority to erect a building of any given specifications on a particular site. It is extremely essential that guiding principles should be laid down for the use of Local Authorities to enable them to judge correctly from the sanitary point of view. (ci) The plan of the building as regards its specifications which should include light, ventilation, sanitary arrangements, drainage, etc., for consideration. (b) The site as regards the building relative to other buildings on the site, existing or proposed, and relative to buildings on adjacent plots. In considering such site plans attention would be specially directed to the total area of the plot to be covered by buildings so as to provide for ample space around housing for light, ventilation and drainage and permit of access and inspection of the area behind the house.
