NAREDCO Consultative process on DDA Green Development Area Policy

Theme Note

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) proposed to make modifications to the Master Plan-2021 for incorporating the Green Development Area Policy under Section 11-A of DD Act 1957 and released a public notice announcing the same on 24th February 2021. The authority has requested for objections/suggestions to the policy to be shared within a period of Forty-Five (45) days (by 10th April 2021).

The Green Development Area Policy provides an integrated framework for development in the following areas of Delhi:

Green Belt &ndashAgricultural land along the border of NCT of Delhi up to a depth of one peripheral revenue village boundary, wherever possible.
Low-Density Residential Area (LDRA) &ndash Area under 23 identified villages falling in Urban Extension having concentration of farmhouses termed as Low-Density Residential Plots or LDRPs

The Policy will encourage &lsquogreen development&rsquo, which shall be characterized by prescribed FAR, large wooded and landscaped areas, to:

Foster city-level hubs for green living and recreation, create green jobs and economies
Encourage production of food and other natural produce to improve food security and meet Horticultural needs
Create a regional environmental buffer, reduce impacts of air and noise pollution, urban heating
Improve predictability of rainfall and combat threat of desertification

In view of this development, National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) has decided to organize an offline multi-stakeholder consultation event, to bring together prominent policy decision-makers, developers, Residents Welfare Associations (RWAs) representatives, and industry experts on a common platform to discuss and deliberate on current challenges and gaps in existing policy that need to be bridged, as well as come up with an implementable holistic action plan that leverages best practices with regard to policy reforms, legal construct and implementation framework.

The esteemed set of panelists shall also brainstorm ideas on providing a comprehensive framework defining permissible uses, activities mix and FAR for proposed uses / activities for green development. Special emphasis shall be given on providing environmentally sustainable development options to enable the landowners to achieve the economic value of lands as well as providing connectivity and infrastructure for physical and functional integration of the areas within and around the Green Development Area (GDA).
