The following modification which the Delhi Development Authority Central Government proposes to make to the Master Plan for Delhi 2021 Zonal Development Plan of Zone D under Section 11 A of DD Act, 1957, is hereby published for public information

## Policy Analysis Report: Amendment to the Master Plan for Delhi 2021 **1. Executive Summary:** This report analyzes a proposed amendment to the Master Plan for Delhi 2021 (MPD 2021), specifically concerning Zonal Development Plan of Zone D, as published by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on December 9, 2022. The core purpose of the amendment is to modify the land use designation of three specific plots within Zone D, changing them from Recreational/Residential to Public and Semi-Public Facilities. Key findings indicate that these changes aim to provide for Tertiary Health Care Centre and community needs, potentially altering the planned development trajectory of the affected areas and impacting local residents and stakeholders. **2. Introduction:** This report provides an informative overview and analysis of a proposed amendment to the Master Plan for Delhi 2021, as detailed in the official notice published by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) on December 9, 2022. The report aims to inform stakeholders about the specific changes proposed and their potential implications, based solely on the information provided in the official notice. **3. Policy Overview:** * **Amendment:** This analysis focuses on a specific amendment to the existing Master Plan for Delhi 2021. * **Core Objective(s):** Based on the text, the core objective of this *specific* amendment is to facilitate the development of Public and Semi-Public Facilities, including Tertiary Health Care Centre, by changing the land use designation of specific plots from their original Recreational and Residential uses as per MPD 2021 and Zone D plan prepared under MPD 2001. **4. Background and Rationale:** As an amendment, this policy likely addresses perceived shortcomings or unmet needs within the existing MPD 2021. The proposed land use changes suggest a need for increased Public and Semi-Public Facilities (specifically Tertiary Health Care Centre PS1) in Zone D. The change from Recreational/Residential to public facilities indicates that the existing allocation of land for these purposes is deemed insufficient or that the initial plan does not align with current priorities or needs. The amendment might also reflect updated demographic data, revised infrastructure requirements, or a shift in the DDA's development strategy for Zone D. **5. Key Provisions / Changes:** This section details the specific changes introduced by the amendment: * **What is Being Changed:** The amendment focuses on changing the land use designation of three specific plots (Plot A, Plot B, and Plot C) within Zone D, under Section 11A of DD Act, 1957. * **New Rule/Provision:** The new rule is the re-designation of the three plots to "Public and Semi Public Facilities" * **Plot A:** Changed from "Recreational" (City Park, District Park, Community Park) to "Public and Semi Public Facilities". * **Plot B:** Changed from "Residential" to "Public and Semi Public Facilities" - Tertiary Health Care Centre PS1. * **Plot C:** Changed from "Residential" to "Public and Semi Public Facilities" - Tertiary Health Care Centre PS1. * **Difference/Effect of the Change:** The change allows for the construction of facilities such as Tertiary Health Care Centers on land previously designated for Recreational and Residential purposes. This will limit or eliminate the opportunity to build the recreational spaces and housing units planned originally. **6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:** The target audience and stakeholders directly affected by these changes include: * **Residents of Zone D:** Changes in land use from Residential or Recreational to Public and Semi-Public facilities could impact housing availability, recreational spaces, and overall quality of life in the immediate vicinity of the affected plots. * **Healthcare Providers:** The provision for Tertiary Health Care Centers directly benefits healthcare providers and patients requiring specialized medical services. * **Developers and Construction Companies:** The amendment creates opportunities for companies specializing in the construction of public facilities. * **Local Businesses:** The new facilities can influence local commerce, depending on the type of facility and its impact on traffic and accessibility. * **Delhi Development Authority (DDA):** The DDA is responsible for implementing the changes and managing the development of the affected plots. **7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):** * **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is the primary responsible body, specifically the Commissioner-cum-Secretary. * **Timelines and Procedures:** The public notice specifies a 30-day period from the date of publication (December 9, 2022) for submitting objections or suggestions regarding the proposed modification. Objections/suggestions should be sent in writing or via email to the DDA. The text plan is available for inspection at the DDA office and online. * **Implementation Aspects Specific to Changes:** The DDA will need to coordinate with relevant departments and potentially private developers to facilitate the construction of the Public and Semi-Public Facilities on the newly designated plots. This will likely involve issuing tenders, reviewing proposals, and ensuring compliance with building codes and environmental regulations. **8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:** The likely intended outcome of these specific changes is to increase the availability of Public and Semi-Public Facilities, particularly Tertiary Health Care Centers, in Zone D. This could improve access to healthcare for local residents and address perceived gaps in the existing healthcare infrastructure. The changes might also stimulate economic activity in the surrounding areas. However, there may be negative impacts on residents who might have preferred the area to remain residential or recreational. **9. Conclusion:** The amendment to the Master Plan for Delhi 2021, concerning the Zonal Development Plan of Zone D, represents a significant shift in land use designation for three specific plots. By re-designating these areas as Public and Semi-Public Facilities, the DDA aims to address identified needs for such facilities, particularly Tertiary Health Care Centers, in the zone. Stakeholders, particularly residents of Zone D, should carefully review the proposed changes and provide feedback within the specified timeframe. While the amendment has the potential to improve access to healthcare and enhance community services, it is crucial to consider the potential impacts on existing residential and recreational spaces and ensure that the changes are implemented in a manner that benefits the overall community.
