Is the Environmental NOC Separate From the Emaar or Nakheel NOC?

Yes. The Emaar or Nakheel NOC and the pool environmental NOC are two different approvals. The developer NOC checks your pool against the community’s rules; the environmental NOC from Dubai Municipality’s Environment Department approves the pool’s drainage and backwash.

What Each One Covers

The developer NOC looks at design, setbacks and community guidelines. The environmental NOC looks at drainage — the route from the filter to a pressure-breaking manhole, through a gully trap and into the villa’s existing manhole.
