DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Any settlement is subjected to various types of

forces like physical, social, economic and
political which influence its form and structure.
A development plan is the instrument to
channelize these forces in a planned manner
to create the total environment.
It also provides legal and technical instrument
for long-term and short-term policies,
programs and strategies for orderly
development of the community.

PROCEDURE OF
PREPARATION

PLANNING DEPARTMENT OF THE

LOCAL GOVT.
The local government is familiar with the
problems and potentials of its
community.
It has the extra advantage of combining
both plan making and plan implementing
functions.

SPECIALISED PLANNING
ORGANISATION

When the local body cannot effectively

resist local pressure from vested
interests, an independent Planning
Authority should create the plan.

A CONSULTANT

Sometimes a consultant is engaged to

prepare a plan within the broad
framework of policies and guidelines
determined by the concerned authority.

STATE TOWN PLANNING

DEPARTMENT

In most developing countries, the Town

Planning Department of the state
government prepares the plan for the
Planning Authority.

ZONING REGULATION
DENSITY OF POPULATION
SUB-DIVISION REGULATION
FLOOR AREA RATIO

ZONING REGULATION

Broad outline of Zonal Development

Plan:
Appropriate boundaries of the
neighborhoods with gross residential
density
Major internal roads and services
Community centers
Appropriate location of high schools and
primary schools
Neighborhood parks

DENSITY OF POPULATION

For calculating residential density, 1 dwelling

unit is presumed to have 5 persons in India.

A variation up to 15% of gross densities may

be allowed.

All land meant for community facilities,

incidental open spaces (in and around
buildings) should be included in calculating
gross residential densities.

SUB-DIVISION
REGULATIONS

The sub-division of land refers to the

division of land into two or more parcels
for the purpose of sale or building
development.

It is essentially a process of converting

raw land into building sites.

FLOOR AREA RATIO

FAR =
Total covered area of all floors
Plot area

FAR controls the density of built-up area

on a given plot and is also related to
building height regulations.

FACTORS TO BE
CONSIDERED
1.

4.

Urban population growth cant be

prevented. It must be planned and
accommodated.
A realistic affordable standard of services
for the poor should be derived and adopted.
Plans need to be flexible and incremental
rather than rigid.
Political agendas and processes must be
considered within which implementable
plan programs must be developed.

STRUCTURE PLAN

Structure plan is a type of old style

Development Plan.
It sets out strategic planning policies and
forms the basis for detailed policies in
local plans.
It is no longer prepared but it continues
to operate in many areas following the
commencement of the new
Development Plan.

HISTORY

It was 1st introduced by the 1968 Town

and Country Planning Act.
It consists of a broad framework of
policies looking forward upto 20 years
ahead.
It is supported by a key diagram showing
land use, transport and environmental
proposals.
It was increasingly criticized in the 1980s
and 90s for the length of time taken in
their preparation and adoption.

CONTENTS
It consists of 5 parts:
1. Structure plan: It is a policy plan and
the boundary of which coincides with
the administrative boundary.
2. Local Plan: The part of the structure
plan which are to be developed.
3. Subject Plan: For an area with special
emphasis as declared in the structure
plan.

Regulation 8 Plan: For specific areas

with typical problems which can go
against the provisions of the structure
plan.
Programs: It is a written document
which deals with a subject matter which
are necessary for each of the local plan.

ADVANTAGES

In the Master Plans, there is no justification for

the option adopted. But in the Structure Plans,
the Planner is forced to document the options.

The Structure Plans has the ability to deal with

diverse planning situations.

It allows the physical plans to be sensitive to

the policy contents of the National and State
Level Plans.

ACTION PLAN
Anaction planis a detailedplan
outlining actions needed to
reach one or moregoals.
Reasons for creating an action plan :
An action plan is a tool in social planning.
It is an organizational strategy to identify
necessary steps towards a goal.
A written action plan also serves as a
token for an organization's accountability.

Creating an action plan :

A group needs to be convened that
should include stakeholders interested in
or affected by the action as necessary.
The group needs to define what actions
need to occur, who will carry them out
and when, and for how long these
actions should occur.
Required financial and human resources
should be estimated.

Executing an action plan :

Ownership: one person must be responsible
and accountable for tracing the progress,
keeping team informed, ensuring timely action
steps are occurring and adjusting the actions.
Responsibility: each action step needs to
have one person responsible.
Support: For each action step, support to the
person responsible is needed. This can be
multiple people.

Informed:
Keeping the right people in the communication loop for each
action is critically important.
Key people might need to understand the state of progress
around the actions to see how they affect other actions and
objectives.
Metrics and budget:
Each action step must have a metric that tells us that the
action is complete.
For example, if you needed to survey your customers and
dont have the internal resources to run the survey or want
to protect anonymity, using an outside resource will require
money that might not be included in your current operating
budget.
Milestone date: date the action step needs to begin
Completion date
