The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has issued a notification for enabling the planned development of privately owned lands in Delhi. The policy to enable planned development of privately owned lands in Delhi was approved by the Authority in its meeting held on 21.12.2017 and the same was circulated to all the ULBs and other govt. agencies.
Simultaneously, in order to operationalize the above policy, the formulation of "Regulations for Enabling the Planned Development of Privately Owned Lands" was taken up under Section 57 of Delhi Development Act, 1957. The regulations were approved by the Authority in its meeting held on 19.06.2018 and thereafter the same has been approved by the Central Government for the issuance of Final Notification of the same by DDA under Section 57 of DD Act, 1957.
The following are the salient features of the policy and regulations for Enabling the Planned Development of Privately Owned Lands:
Development on the privately owned land shall be in consonance with the land use as notified in prevailing MPD/ZDP or land use/ use premises mentioned in already approval layout plans/schemes, if any or as specified in these Regulations.
Earlier as per MPD-1962, the process of planned development was based on Large-Scale Acquisition and Development of Land. It was envisaged as a public sector-led process with very little private participation in terms of the development of both, shelter and infrastructure services. The same planning process was substantially reiterated in the Master Plan for Delhi 2001 (MPD-2001).
Later in MPD-2021, a critical reform has been envisaged in the prevailing land policy and facilitating public-private partnership. Thus, there is the paradigm shift from land acquisition to a requirement of private participation in the assembly and development process. To bring forward this reform, DDA has formulated a Policy to enable the Planned Development of Privately Owned Lands such as private land pockets which have been left over from the planned development, which could not be acquired, land pockets for which acquisition proceedings have been quashed by the courts, etc.
