NDMC seeks change in norm for parking infra, DMRC in land use:

The NDMC and DMRC have sought changes in norms regarding parking infrastructure and land use from Delhi Development Authority under its budget for the financial year 2017-18.
While the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) has sought relaxation in height limit for building multi-level parking facilities at a few places, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has requested the urban body to change the land usage near Netaji Subhash Place in north west Delhi for its network expansion.
"A proposal has been placed before the Authority for relaxation in height for construction of multi-level parkings at Sant Nagar, Rani Bagh (plot of 3,950 sqm), from 15 m to non-restricted; near Shiva Market, Pitampura village (plot of 3,605 sqm), from 15 m to non-restricted, and at Shastri Park, Karol Bagh (plot 4,808.67 sqm), from 15 m to 18.10 m," the DDA said in a statement.

"The relaxation is subject to approval of AAI (Airports Authority of India), Delhi Fire Services and other statutory bodies. The provisions of multi-level parking given in MPD (Master Plan of Delhi) 2021 and unified building bye-laws will be followed," it said.
Also, the Delhi Metro has requested for change of land usage measuring 18,452 sqm on permanent basis near Netaji Subhash Place for construction of metro station and its entry and exist and traffic circulation facilities for the Mukundpur-Yamuna Vihar corridor of the network under Phase-III (Line-7), the DDA said.
The proposal for the change in the land usage from recreation to transpiration has been placed before the Authority. However, DMRC shall obtain all necessary clearances from statutory authorities concerned, including environmental ones as per the policy, the urban body said.

Thirty-five new land development schemes and seven housing and related development works have been proposed by the DDA in its budget for the financial year 2017-18.
The budget along with revised estimates for the last fiscal was presented before the DDA's authority, which also took other key decisions.
