Restoring the city’s Non-Development Zones (NDZ), the state issued a notification to remove affordable housing in these zones, under the name Special Development Zone. Now only high-density slums will be called ZDS.
The notification reintroduces the low area ratio of 0.025 in the NDZs and allows tourism development, educational institutions, land-plus-one residential structures, IT parks, etc.
The urban development department’s notification invited objections and suggestions for sanctioning the remaining few Excluded Parts (EPs) of Development Plan (DP) 2034 covering SDZs.
The DP contains two components: Sanctioned and Excluded. The Sanctioned Parts are provisions ready for implementation, while the EP has recently introduced provisions for which the government invites suggestions and objections from the public.
