The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has approved additional development control (ADC) norms for areas under its land pooling policy, in a bid to make it more appealing to landowners and private developers.
The proposed ADC norms were approved at a meeting chaired by lieutenant governor Anil Baijal, which would see the implementation of new features such as vertical mixing and transferable development rights for the first time in Delhi.
The policy, which was notified in 2018 and aims to make landowners equal partners in the development process by removing the burdensome process of land acquisition, has seen 6930.4 hectares of land submitted for pooling until December 20, 2020, through a web portal launched in February 2019. While DDA will act as a facilitator, it is already planning and developing some of the industries that are likely to be eligible.
The total area that can be built at the sector level can be varied or loaded across different plots in a sector while remaining within the sector's maximum FAR limit, ensuring overall balance.
The new regulations also permit plotted development in areas designated for land pooling in clusters of at least 5,000 square metres on a net residential plot. In the sectors, walkability, improved open spaces, public plazas, and active frontage have been prioritised. The proposed ADC norms will now be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
The policy is currently in effect in the 95 villages that make up Delhi's urban extension areas. The area is divided into 109 sectors, each with an average land area of 250 to 350 hectares and a population of 80,000 to 1 lakh people.
DDA has also set up a board to examine the objections and suggestions received in response to the draught Master Plan for Delhi-2041. By December, DDA hopes to have received final approval for MPD-2041.
The authority also agreed to change the name of a plot set aside for a sports complex in Dwarka's Sector-19 to an International Sports Complex. With real estate development such as hotels, retail, convention centres, and residential, the area is expected to become an entertainment and tourist destination. The meeting decided that facilities would be available to the public not only through membership but also through pay and play services.
DDA changed the land use from residential to transportation for a multi-level car parking facility on Idgah Road, assisting North Corporation and DMRC in the construction of the facility, which is being built as part of Phase IV proposed Nabi Karim interchange Metro station.
