Intro­duc­tion

Zone ‘B’ pop­ularly known as Karol Bagh & City exten­sion is loc­ated in Cent­ral West Delhi, cov­ers an approx­im­ate area of about 2304 ha, (the sum of all sub zones areas works out to be 2274 ha.) part of it has been des­ig­nated as “spe­cial Area” under MPD– 2021. Keep­ing in view the recom­mend­a­tions of MPD– 2021, the Zonal Plan for Zone B has been modified.

STATUTORY PROVISIONS AND OBJECTIVE:

The zonal Devel­op­ment Plan of the area is pre­pared under Sec­tion ‘8’ to be pro­cessed under Sec­tion 10 of the Delhi Devel­op­ment Act, 1957. Sim­ul­tan­eously, the modi­fic­a­tions of land-use shall be pro­cessed under Sec­tion 11 (A). MPD– 2021 states that in the absence of Zonal Plan of any area the devel­op­ment shall be in accord­ance with the pro­vi­sions of the Mas­ter Plan.

As per the MPD– 2021, a Zonal Devel­op­ment Plan means a plan for one of the zones (Divi­sions) of the National Cap­ital Ter­rit­ory of Delhi con­tain­ing detailed inform­a­tion regard­ing pro­vi­sion of social infra­struc­ture, parks and open spaces and cir­cu­la­tion sys­tem, etc.

MPD-2021 fur­ther stip­u­lates that the zonal plans shall detail out the policies of the Mas­ter Plan 2021 and act as link between the lay­out plan and the Mas­ter Plan. The devel­op­ment schemes and lay­out plans indic­at­ing vari­ous use premises shall con­form to the Mas­ter Plan/Zonal Plans provisions.
