2. The project story
HIGHLANDS is registered as a plotted-development project in Pilligundla, Vikarabad District, on portions of Survey Nos. 22/PART, 23/PART and 24/PART. The layout record describes a residential layout with 340 plots, roads and reserved open space, rather than apartment blocks or villas.
The filed layout material describes a draft layout and states that plots 29 to 80 are to be mortgaged to Pilligundla Gram Panchayat as security for development obligations. It also describes development works including road formation, avenue planting, rainwater-harvesting pits, street lighting, sewerage disposal and protected water supply. These are recorded as requirements or proposed works; the supplied evidence does not verify their completion.
The project is registered, but no independently verified construction-progress report, plot-by-plot availability information or occupancy/completion certificate is supplied here. The completion date in the RERA filing and the completion undertaking in Form B are stated separately above. RERA record
3. Master plan, architecture & building design
The project is a plotted layout, so the available design information concerns plot arrangement and land allocation rather than building plans, apartment layouts or tower configuration. The draft-layout record states 340 plots and allocates 10.00% of the layout to open space, 33.58% to roads and 56.42% to plotted area. It identifies a nala and buffer area of Ac. 0.884 Cents; 4,278.56 Sq.Yds.
The same record specifies that Plots 29 to 80, stated as Ac.1.90 Cents; 9,196.00 Sq.Yds., are mortgaged to Pilligundla Gram Panchayat. It describes open space and road land as to be handed over to the Gram Panchayat by registered gift deed before final layout release.
The RERA filing gives an approved built-up area of 50,152.69 sq m, but the supplied material does not provide a building schedule or define its measurement basis. No building count, floor configuration, building footprint, plot-size schedule, detailed approved layout drawing, or internal plot dimensions are available in the supplied extracts.

4. Homes, configurations & floor plans
The registered offering is plots, not apartments. The supplied records do not provide plot-wise area or saleable-size bands, booking or availability counts, or an individual plot schedule.
The two available drawing records are not measured floor plans: 0 are measured and 2 are pending scan review. No apartment carpet-area or loading figures apply in the available evidence. Floor plans
