The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued a show-cause notice to Blue Enclave, a private housing scheme on Tumair Link Road in Islamabad’s Zone IV, over alleged development and plot sale activities carried out without the required regulatory approvals.

According to the notice, the housing scheme allegedly began development, marketed the project, and sold and transferred plots without obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and an approved layout plan, both mandatory under the CDA Ordinance, 1960, and Islamabad’s zoning regulations.

The CDA has directed the management to immediately stop all development work, marketing activities, plot sales, purchases, allotments, and transfers. It has also ordered the removal of allegedly unauthorized structures and instructed the scheme to cease all use of the land within seven days.

The authority warned that failure to comply could result in enforcement action, including demolition of structures, sealing of the housing scheme and its offices, and operations with the assistance of police and the district administration. Any expenses incurred during the operation would be recovered from those responsible, the notice said.

The CDA also cited rulings of the Islamabad High Court and the Supreme Court, stating that development carried out without mandatory approvals is unlawful and liable to demolition. It reiterated that the authority is the sole regulator responsible for approving and supervising private housing schemes in the federal capital.

Blue Enclave has been asked to submit a written reply within seven days and has been offered an opportunity to present its case before the Director Regional Planning before any further action is taken.
