Does Trakhees Require an Environmental NOC for Pools?
A pool in a Trakhees area does need an environmental NOC — but it is not issued by Trakhees. It comes from Dubai Municipality’s Environment Department. Trakhees handles the building permit; DM Environment Department approves the pool’s drainage.
