NEW DELHI: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s Mater Plan Implementation Committee chairman Ved Prakash Gupta called on Urban Development Ministry Joint Secretary M. M. Kutty this past week regarding pending issues related to implementation of the Master Plan for Delhi-2021.
These issues have already been placed before the Lieutenant-Governor for consideration and recommendation to the Ministry of Urban Development.
The issues raised included guidelines for redevelopment of clusters of industrial population in unplanned industrial areas and existing planned industrial areas, building regulations of special areas, unauthorised regularised colonies and villages and regulation for banquet halls.
Mr. Gupta also made a request for relaxing the parking norms on industrial plots up to 250 sq. m and made a number of other proposals discussed in the Implementation Committee that included relaxation in the height of working area in industrial buildings and lowering the regularisation charges in industrial areas. “We have also requested implementation of the decision taken by the Delhi Development Authority in June 2007 to not charge conversion charges including parking charges for pre-1962 built-up commercial areas,” he added.
Dr. Kutty told Mr. Gupta that he would make efforts to finalise the proposals at the earliest .
