DDA recommends amendment in 2021 Delhi Master Plan

New Delhi, Apr 10 (UNI) The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) today recommended an amendment to the 2021 Delhi Master Plan (MPD-2021) to bring it in conformity with the February 26 notification, wherein DDA had issued guidelines regarding mixed and commercial use charges.

As per the amendment, instead of two parking spaces per 100 sq m built area within the premises as per the Master Plan, now one parking space per 50 sq m plot area will be required to be provided under MPD-2021.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the DDA held at Raj Niwas.

Through a Gazette Notification dated February 26 (which was an amendment to an earlier notification dated November 20, 2006, the DDA had issued guidelines regarding mixed use and commercial use charges, comprising one time parking charges for such uses, to be levied by local bodies.

As per this notification, one car space per 50 sq m of plot area had to be provided.

After the notification in February, it was found that these regulations were not in conformity with the regulation proposed for the purpose in MPD-2021.

Two options ie to either amend the Gazette Notification dated February 26 and bring it in conformity with the MPD-2021 provision or to amend the Plan itself were examined.

''It had been recommended to amend the Master Plan 2021 and thus the proposal for same was put up to the Authority which has been approved,'' a DDA release said.
