Mumbai: New development plan to come into effect from June 23
2034 will come into force from June 23, exactly a month after a
notification was published in a state government gazette. But the plan
which comes into force will not include the Excluded Plan (EP), for
which suggestions and objections are being sought from citizens.
state urban development department had issued the notification on
sanctioning of the DP on May 8. It had three parts – the sanctioned part
(Schedule A), the revised part, called Excluded Plan (Schedule B), and
Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) for its
implementation.
The EP has newly-introduced provisions and significant changes suggested by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation‘s (BMC)
planning committee and the state government and had been approved by
the civic general body. The Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act
requires that the government invite fresh suggestions and objections
from citizens.

It”s all bogus.. Politicians, and civilians are bent upon exploiting resources recklessly, no hopes
but from June 23, they will be processed under DP and DCPR 2034, but
again taking into consideration which are the more stringent of the two,
which means the DP and DCPR 2034, and EP provisions.
BMC has decided that for proper
implementation and guiding architects and staff for processing proposals
after June 23, guidelines in the form of a transition policy will be
issued. A civic official said the policy should be ready in eight days.
“For the EP, the government can either give a hearing or take a decision
on it,” said the official.
