Connected planning layers

Other Delhi development policies

The Master Plan, Land Pooling and LDA operate within a wider system of transport, land-use, infrastructure and approval policies.

Policy interaction: Where two instruments appear to apply, examine their scope, date, statutory basis and any saving or overriding clause. Do not assume the more favourable interpretation.

Privately owned land

The 2018 regulations provide a route for planned development of certain privately owned parcels, subject to prevailing plan, land use, infrastructure and approvals.

Zonal Development Plans

Translate city-wide Master Plan intent into zone-level land use, circulation and planning provisions.

Layout and sector plans

Define roads, plots, facilities, open spaces and implementation geometry at a more detailed scale.

Building controls

UBBL, fire, environment, airport, heritage and local-body rules can materially affect sanctionability.

How to read them

Use the planning hierarchy, then test conflicts.

01

Statutory basis

Is it a Gazette notification, regulation, plan, guideline, SOP or advisory?

02

Geographic scope

Does it cover the whole NCT, a zone, corridor, village, sector or listed parcel?

03

Timing

Was it amended, superseded, extended or saved by a later instrument?

04

Approval gate

What written permission is still required for development?
