In a bid to facilitate planned development of private land in the Capital, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has formulated a "draft policy" in a meeting with Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Tuesday. The L-G is the ex-officio chairman of the DDA.

The policy will allow development of privately-owned land through spatial planning and facilitation of basic infrastructure services. The DDA, in a statement, also said that the draft policy intends to allow private land owners to develop their land holdings in conformity with the land use, as per the prevailing Master Plan of Delhi (MPD).

"The draft policy will be placed in the public domain for inviting suggestions from the public. The policy will be finalised after incorporating the same," the DDA said.

The urban body has also decided that plots with an area of 3,000 square metres or above abutting a road of 24 metres, right of way and above, will be eligible for 'Residential Use (Group Housing)' as per development control norms. This will be subject to payment of conversion charges.

The Authority has also stated that modification in the MPD 2021 in the chapter on Industry, knowledge-based industries/service industries like software industry, IT Service, ITES, media, biotechnology/medical, research and development, and design, business and educational services, are proposed to be permitted on industrial plots.

Amendments to the allotment of DDA community halls have also been approved in the draft policy.

"As per the revised policy, community halls within boundaries of housing schemes will be preferably allotted to resident welfare associations (RWAs) of the pocket, if cost of construction is shared by the allottees," the DDA said. The halls can also be allotted to other applicants for a license fee. Registered societies such as government, semi-government and autonomous bodies actively involved in social activities in the area will also be eligible for allotment.
