Survey-based DLTM drawings make it clear which paving is inside and which is outside the plot.
Do I Need a Sidewalk Modification Permit for Interlock?
Yes, if the interlock is outside your plot limit — on the footpath, verge or driveway apron. That area is in the road reserve and needs an RTA Sidewalk Modification Permit, plus the developer NOC in developer communities.

Do I Need a Sidewalk Modification Permit for Interlock? — FAQs
Do I need a permit for interlock outside my villa?
Yes — a sidewalk modification permit.
What about inside the plot?
No sidewalk permit is needed for paving fully inside the plot.
Do you prepare the access drawings?
Yes — we survey the site and prepare access, kerb, interlock and tie-in drawings in AutoCAD (DLTM) and PDF.
Can works start before all approvals?
No — access, kerb and interlock works should start only after the RTA construction NOC and sidewalk modification permit are issued.
Who handles the submissions?
We prepare the drawings and handle the RTA and developer submissions as your consultant.
