The Delhi Urban Art Commission is an autonomous body

set up by an Act of Parliament in 1973 to advise the
Government of India in the matter of preserving, developing
and maintaining the aesthetic quality of urban and
environmental design within Delhi,
and to provide advice and guidance to any local body
in respect of any project of building operations or
engineering operations or any development proposal
which affects or is likely to affect the skyline or the
aesthetic quality of the surroundings or any public
amenity provided therein.

Perspective
Delhi is governed by multiple authorities some of which belong to the Central
Government and the rest to the State Government. Each authority functions under their
respective mandates and have their own priorities. Under such circumstances for the
cohesive and inclusive growth of any city it is important to have a vision for the Citys future
development. This is more so for a city like Delhi with its rich heritage in the form of
innumerable monuments dotting the cityscape, luscious green areas of the New Delhi; the
ridge and the forest cover in different parts of the City which led to an initiative for tagging
Delhi as a world heritage city.

Growth of Delhi as an Economic Centre

With the globalisation of the Indian economy, Delhi, a cosmopolitan city, over a period of
time invited increased economic activity leading to the city becoming an international
business hub. This coupled with Delhi being the venue of the Asian Games in the 1980s and
the Commonwealth Games more recently resulted in the highest influx of population to the
City in search of jobs posing a challenge to the city planners for catering to the basic civic
amenities for the ever burgeoning population. With fast pace of construction activity and
dwindling of areas available for construction there has been a challenge before the city
planners for ensuring that the development in the City for meeting its present day
requirements is not at the cost of its rich heritage.

Role of Delhi Urban Art Commission

It is in this context that the role of an organisation like the Delhi Urban Art
Commission(DUAC) becomes important. The DUAC was set up under the Delhi Urban Art
Commission Act, 1974 with the objective of preserving, developing and maintaining the
urban and environmental design within Delhi. The Commissions foremost concern has
always been that development in the city and conservation of heritage should not be at the
cost of each other.

City Level Initiatives

With this objective in view the Commission has been deliberating on the proposals
being referred to it. The present Commission on assuming office held series of meetings with
a cross-section of experts to decide the way forward. During the course of deliberations in
such meetings it transpired that DUAC with its body of experts is in a position to conduct
macro level studies on a three dimensional basis on city level issues which had not been
done earlier by the authorities concerned. The idea was not to step on to the turf of other
authorities but to demonstrate the direction for planning at city level. On the basis of the
deliberations the Commission formulated a proposal and sent to the Government for
approval of undertaking design concepts on seven important city level projects which
included site specific design for wards, gardens, development along metro corridors etc. The
proposal of the Commission was considered by the High Powered Project Approval
Committee(PAC) headed by the Minister for Urban Development. The PAC approved the
proposal of the Commission based on which administrative approval and expenditure
sanction was issued by the Ministry of Urban Development.
[Annual Report 2013-14]

37

On receipt of Government approval the first task of the Commission was to create
requisite infrastructure and engage consultants with the requisite background for
conducting studies in house on the assignment in hand.
Phase-I of the studies undertaken have since been completed and reports thereof
formally launched by the Secretary, (Ministry of Urban Development), Government of India
on the 19.02.2014 during the course of a presentation before a gathering comprising of
heads of various authorities in Delhi. The reports have been sent to the authorities
concerned for implementing the recommendations made on the studies. The studies
undertaken in Phase-II are also at an advance stage and are expected to be published
shortly. Details on the City Level Projects have been covered in a separate section of this
report.

Other Initiatives
Another important initiative by the present Commission towards improving the
aesthetics of public buildings, minimise maintenance and conserve energy was to draw a set
of guidelines on which the Commission made it mandatory for submission of an undertaking
by the project proponent/architect before their proposal was considered by the Commission.
The undertaking was to provide for certain common features which every project proponent
needed to take care of from point of view of aesthetics, energy conservation and upkeep of
public buildings. Once such an undertaking is received, the consideration time on the
proposals became minimal. With this change in practice the Commission has been in a
position to take decisions on proposals referred to it expeditiously and there have been
hardly any arrears of pending proposals at any point of time.

Maintenance of Public Buildings

A related issue which affects the aesthetics of a building is its proper maintenance.
Besides ensuring compliance with the guidelines mentioned above, the Commission during
the year organized an interactive meeting with the different local bodies on the subject of
maintenance of public buildings. It emerged during the course of discussions that many of
these bodies could not take up maintenance work properly on account of inadequate funds.
The matter was taken up with the Ministry of Urban Development for emphasising on the
local authorities in Delhi for maintenance of public buildings under their jurisdiction.

Acknowledging Contribution of Professionals to Public Buildings

Another area where the Commission felt that needed to be given due attention is
acknowledging the contribution of architect, engineer and owner of existing and proposed
public buildings. The Commission felt that all existing public buildings need to be maintained
properly with due respect and intent of the original architect who designed it. Accordingly,
the Commission decided to take up with all concerned that in case any changes are desired
on the external faade by the owner and the architect is alive it should be done with his
consent and approval. In case the architect is not alive, the changes need to be done in a
sensitive manner with respect to the original design.

[Annual Report 2013-14]

38

To acknowledge the contribution of professionals engaged in public buildings, it was

also decided that a plaque indicating the name of the architect, engineer, builder etc at a
suitable location in all existing and proposed projects should be installed. On the basis of its
decision, the Commission has written to authorities of all important public buildings in Delhi
for compliance on the above aspects.

Review of District Centres and other Iconic Buildings

The Commission expressed its dismay at the sad condition of the existing District
Centres at Bhikaji Cama Place, Rajender Place and other iconic buildings in and around the
Pragati Maidan. It expressed its concern on a proposal for a Convention Centre at Pragati
Maidan spread over an area of one lakh sq. meters and a hall for 5000 persons together with
corresponding parking facility keeping in view the fact that the site is next to an important
landmark monument of the City viz. Purana Quila and the area already is prone to heavy
traffic congestions. The Commission felt that modern iconic buildings constructed in the post
Independence era needed to be conserved. It accordingly urged the INTACH to prepare a list
of such buildings. After receipt of such a list it decided to draw up criteria for finalising the
list of iconic buildings that needed to be conserved and suggested for similar action to the
Heritage Conservation Committee to initiate steps for conservation of such buildings based
on such common parameters.
Views on High-rise Construction
The Commission during the year had the opportunity to scrutinise a few residential
redevelopment schemes which were based on FAR between 250 to 300. The schemes were
mostly located in New Delhi area abutting the Lutyen's Bungalow Zone and Civil Lines Zone.
On account of the location of these proposals, the Commission felt that utilisation of such
higher FAR/density will have a significant impact on New Delhis character and
environment. The schemes as proposed would have effect on the open spaces, the low lying
horizon and would have significant impact on the emerging future urban design form and
architectural character of New Delhi particularly at a juncture when efforts are on to include
Delhi in the list of World Heritage sites. Such high levels of densification would further
pressurise the already overburdened civic infrastructure of the City. Permitting higher FAR
and density would have impact on the urban design form of emerging New Delhi and would
encourage the other stake holders/private proponent to claim for higher norms. Thus, such
proposals needed to be reviewed in the context of their location, holding capacity of the area
in terms of population, services etc. and should be formulated on the basis of an integrated
urban design exercise.

Establishment
During the year, the Commission through concerted efforts filled up the vacant posts
of Administrative Officer, Assistant Secretary (Technical) and Lower Division Clerk on a
regular basis. The website of the Commission was updated from time to time to reflect
developments that took place during the year. Web based proposal tracking system was
duly updated which facilitates the stake holders to track the progress of their proposals from
the date of submission to the Commission till its final disposal. The logo of the Commission

[Annual Report 2013-14]

39

was reviewed as per the recommendations of the high level Parliamentary Committee on
official language and duly redesigned to make it bilingual.

City Level Projects

In terms of its mandate, the Commission may suo-motu promote and secure the
development, re-development or-beautification of any areas in Delhi in respect of which no
proposals in that behalf have been received from any local body. The city level projects
mentioned earlier were taken up in the aforesaid context with the following objectives :1. Site Specific Urban Design interventions for upgrading urban environment with
three-dimensional visualization incorporating geospatial data.
2. Ecological restoration Parks, Green Areas, Water Bodies
3. Conservation of Heritage & Enhancement of environment
4. Up-gradation of Social & Civic infrastructure
5. Redevelopment/revitalization of redundant areas
6. Up-gradation of Physical infrastructure
7. Solutions for vehicular parking
8. Creating a more pedestrian friendly environment and prioritization of nonmotorized vehicles in street design
9. Solid waste disposal to achieve zero waste and recycle water at local level.
The intention was to demonstrate the direction for planning for urban
agglomerations not only for the city of Delhi but which could also be adopted by the other
cities in the Country.
The proposal of the Commission was considered by a high level Project Approval
Committee (PAC) in March 2012 which approved the proposal. Government's approval and
expenditure sanction was received vide sanction dated 22nd May 2012 for undertaking the
following City Level Projects.

1. Site specific design for wards

After completion of the exercise for preparation of Master Plan-2021 by the DDA as
next step Zonal plan have also been prepared and notified by the DDA. The next step would
involve preparation of local area plans or ward plans in respect of each zone. The plans
prepared hitherto be it the Master Plans or the Zonal Plans were on a two dimensional basis.
The DUAC is a forum which has expertise for conducting three dimensional studies. The
Commission had accordingly proposed to the Govt. for developing ward plans in consultation
with the RWAs, concerned MLAs etc. which shall have site specific design for each ward on a
three dimensional basis.
2. Rehabilitation of Unauthorized colonies/ Slums in Delhi
Due to absence of low cost housing large sections of the population reside in slums.
The number of slums in the city is growing by the day. The unplanned growth of the slums
makes life very difficult for the inhabitants. Some of problems faced are
-

Lack of civic amenities like Water, electricity, drainage etc.

Lack of public toilets.
Lack of medical facilities.

[Annual Report 2013-14]

41

Absence of garbage disposal system

Absence of proper roads.
Water logging in monsoon.

These slums cannot be washed away. There is an urgent need for improving quality
of life for the inhabitants of these slums.

3. Vision for Delhi

Delhi is a dynamic city which has both heritage value and modern architectural and
engineering structures. The City also has substantial unauthorised development. The influx
of population in Delhi is very high. These are some of the factors which necessitated a review
of vision for Delhi so that the future development is not at cost of its heritage and
conservation of heritage is not a hurdle in growth of the City.

4. High Rise developments proposals along metro corridors

The development of metro in Delhi has had an unprecedented impact on the
Cityscape. It is natural that property development along metro corridors intensifies in due
course of time. To ensure that such development takes place in planned manner and not in a
haphazard manner the DUAC proposed preparation of development plans for high rise
development along existing metro corridors in Delhi.

5. Rejuvenation of Delhi Gardens

Delhi has large number of gardens, however, except few like Lodhi Garden the
landscape elements and amenities at these gardens are less than expected. There is,
therefore, a need to make these gardens live places for different cross section of the society.
The possibility of providing garden restaurants, museums, amphitheatre, public amenities
etc. could be envisaged. While provisions exist in MPD-2021 on providing such amenities
each garden's requirements/needs to be reviewed on a case-to-case basis.

6. Preparation of design and prototype for high-tech public toilets

The Commission has observed the deplorable condition of public toilets in Delhi. It is
estimated that there are above 25 lakh women in Delhi who go for their necessary functions
before dawn every morning in the open fields. The Commission considers this an
unfortunate state of affairs. It is estimated that about 5 lakh toilets need to be provided near
basti's and slum areas and also along areas where there are large number of persons who
require such facilities. However, to start with 200 public toilets could be put up in different
areas. Our aim is self cleaning high-tech toilet which would resist vandalism and require
minimum maintenance and which would be industrially prefabricated. The design would be
through an open competition. The prototype based on the selected designs would be
industrially fabricated under the supervision of DUAC.

7. Unified Building bye-laws for Delhi

[Annual Report 2013-14]

42

One of the primary assignments proposed by the reconstituted Commission was

simplification of existing Building Bye-laws of Delhi with the intent to make them userfriendly, clear cut and work towards a single window system. In the next phase, it is
proposed to develop a software which would enable a project proponent to know the
approvals from different agencies that would be required for his project and the criteria that
he would require to fulfil for obtaining approval for his project.

Phase I of City Level Projects

In the first phase, the Commission took up the following:i

Sites specific design for wards in Delhi

1) Kalkaji & East of Kailash Area specific design
2) New Ashok Nagar (Ward No.212)
3) C.R. Park (Ward No.190)
4) Chirag Delhi and its precincts

The aspects covered as a part of these studies included the urban fabric, urban
graphics, urban transport, waste disposal systems, parking requirements, social
infrastructure present in the area, the norms stipulated in the Master Plan for the area. The
teams doing the studies interacted with the MLAs, area Councillors, RWAs, Traders
Association, local residents to understand the requirements for these areas and presenting
comprehensive design solutions to identify issues on the site.

ii

Rehabilitation of Slum/Un-authorised Colonies

(a) Unauthorised Colonies
1) New Ashok Nagar (Ward No.212)
2) Aya Nagar (Ward No.175)
3) Mohammad Pur Village (Ward No.67)
(b) Slums
1) Mohammadpur slum
2) Sudhar Camp (Ward No.196)

A work plan was prepared and survey done to carry forward the studies in terms of
urban fabric, open space structure, transportation, building typologies, services like drainage
and water supply. Attempt has been made to address the aforesaid issues and suggest viable
solutions in the recommendations of the studies.

iii

High rise development proposals along Metro corridors

The corridor that was taken up for the study is the stretch on NH-10 viz. Peera Garhi
to Mundka. Due to high land values the people are forced to live on the fringes of the city and
commute daily for a longer distance to earn their daily needs, which further leads to a
haphazard development and uneven distribution of densities. There is a need to restructure
the city through enhancement of public transport with proper structuring of roads and
urban form along the Metro stations through an hierarchical development, which could
[Annual Report 2013-14]

43

reduce the use of private transport as a mode of commuting, and workplace and home could
be approached through a walk able or a cycle-able distance which could help in controlling
the sprawl of urban areas and further could help in preserving land as a commodity and
other natural resources for the future generations.

iv

Rejuvenation of Gardens

(a)

South Delhi Greens primarily comprising of forests at Jahanpanah, Panchsheel and

Tughlaqabad, have been taken up to evaluate and improve their integration with the
surrounding urban fabric. The proposal aims to establish a interconnected green belt
system for the South Delhi region. Once established this approach could be applied to
other such locations in the city.

(b)

Landscape and Pedestrian connections at Netaji Subhash Place Metro Station,

Pitampura, New Delhi : In the best examples worldwide, pedestrian movement is
integrated with landscape and recreation and informal commercial spaces. Site has
been taken up to demonstrate how this can be made possible by providing proper
pedestrian spaces where there are transport interchanges and also a variety of land
uses in the site.

High-Tech Public Toilets

The Commission on the basis of a design competition is in the process of
preparation of prototypes for High-Tech Public Toilets through industrial groups
selected for the purpose. The first prototype being developed has the following key
features:

vi

Aluminium Honey Comb panel structure with stainless steel veneers

Use of Bio Digesters developed by DRDO & RDSO for environment friendly
waste disposal.
Solar panels with LED lighting
PLC (Program Logic Controller) aided working for better efficiency
Ample Light and cross ventilation
Resistant to tampering and vandalism
Tough and heavy duty water saving fixtures in stainless steel.
Advertisement panels for revenue generation
Design for easy cleaning and maintenance

Aesthetics at City Level

Building Proposals
Aesthetic of a city touches its Citizens in several ways. Besides providing a pleasant
habitat, it leads to healthy living conditions and foremost, promotes tourism. Accordingly the
Commission felt the need to improve the public environment and enhance the quality of the
urban experience. Buildings form a backdrop for urban activity and civic quality. Good
architecture protects the respective interests of the private and public realms and thereby
allows all users to enjoy the benefits of the available resources. On the basis of several
discussions with its body of experts the Commission formulated a set of guidelines on which
it obtains an undertaking from the project proponent/architect for compliance before the
proposal is considered by the Commission.
The objective of these guidelines is to assist architects in meeting the minimum
standards for the design of projects as identified by the DUAC qualitatively, ensuring that the
nature of the architecture created is a value addition to the rich architectural heritage of
Delhi. It is expected therefore that these guidelines are not applied in a universally
standardized way but adapted to the specific conditions on a project-to-project basis. These
guidelines are not intended to curb individual architectural expression but make it more
accountable to the collective urban quality. These standards should be self explanatory and
reflected in the design during presentation of the same at the DUAC. These guidelines are
enumerated below:

The permanent finishing material like stone, bricks, glass, ceramic tiles, concrete
with silicon finish, metal panel, aggregate finish shall be provided in the external
facade elevation of the building and cleaning arrangement will be planned and
provided (this is required in case of a building of 4 storey or higher);
All coolers, air conditioners, pipes and ducts shall be hidden / concealed and not
surface mounted / hung on the faade;
Overhead water tanks, mumties and services on the roof shall be integrated as part of
architectural elements;
Proper signage shall be provided which shall be prominently displayed near entrance
gate for easy access as an important feature of the complex;
Glass of quality to ensure that unwanted summer heat and glare does not disturb
interiors only will be used and the building will be energy efficient and glass on west
and south side will be high performance/have shading device;
Solid boundary wall shall not be more than 4 feet high from ground level and beyond
4 feet it shall be transparent with steel grills or any other transparent material; (not
applicable for building where there is high security requirements as per approval of
the competent authority).
Wherever applicable green spaces for community use shall be well maintained.
Plaque will be put up in the building premises at a prominent location indicating
name of architect, engineer and builder;
In case of any changes proposed to the external faade consent of the original
architect who designed the building will be obtained and incase the architect is not

[Annual Report 2013-14]

46

alive, the changes will be done in sensitive manner with respect to the original
design;
Minimum 1% of project cost will be spent on works of art in the building complex.
(this is required only for public buildings).

With the adoption of these guidelines the consideration time on proposals referred to
the Commission has gone down and the Commission had hardly any arrears of pending
proposals during the year.

Steps for Conservation of Greens

One of the primary concerns of the Commission was minimal interference with the
existing green areas and heritage of the City. Accordingly, the Commission while considering
proposals referred to it by the local bodies stressed for detailed survey plan of the area
showing the existing conditions accurately with respect to contours, depression, levels,
slopes, existing buildings, existing trees along with details regarding their species, height,
spread condition, trees proposed to be retained and those proposed to be cut or
transplanted and existing road network etc. With minor modifications in the layout without
compromising on the functional aspects of the buildings the Commission over the years has
been able to conserve significant number of trees which were intended to be cut in the
original proposals.
The Commission has also been stressing for consolidated green spaces while
considering individual proposals instead of fragmented greens.

Conceptual Consideration of Proposals

The provisions of the DUAC Act 1974 stipulates that every local body before
according approval on proposals submitted to them shall refer the same to the Commission
for consideration. The proposals are by and large referred at a stage when other concerned
authorities have made their recommendations on these proposals and they have been
modified accordingly. At this stage suggestion of any major alterations in the design etc.
tantamount to obtaining approval from all concerned on the revised proposal which is a time
consuming process. To avoid such eventualities the Commission encourages
architects/project proponent particularly for major projects to refer such proposals to the
Commission at conceptual stage itself directly by the project proponent/architect. This has
the advantage for the project proponent/architect to have the inputs of the Commission at
conceptual stage itself so that when the proposal is referred to the Commission through the
concerned local body at a later stage no drastic changes would be suggested by the
Commission. On the other hand having already looked at the proposal once, the
consideration time by the Commission on such proposals is minimal. However, the time lags
between conceptual consideration and referral of the proposal through the local body
subsequently should not be unduly long as in such cases the ground realities might have
changed which may have a bearing on the proposal necessitating its examination afresh.

Work of Art in Public Projects

[Annual Report 2013-14]

47

In the early 1970s the then Ministry of Works and Housing issued guidelines that in
all public buildings at least two percent of the project cost should be earmarked for work of
art. However, over the years there are hardly any buildings in Delhi with satisfactory level of
work of art. While the Commission has made it mandatory for earmarking at least one
percent of the project cost on work of art it has been observed that the quality of art work
that was being brought before the Commission was below the mark. The Commission,
therefore, took upon itself to formulate guidelines on the subject for the benefit of all
concerned which, inter-alia, indicates the categories of art work acceptable to the
Commission. It organised a workshop in the year 2009 on the subject where after indepth
discussions comprehensive guidelines were evolved and circulated to all concerned.

[Annual Report 2013-14]

Significant Concerns
Rehabilitation Scheme for Kathputli Colony
The Commission had the occasion to consider a Rehabilitation Scheme for Kathputli
Colony, which proposed removal of the existing slums housing for the artisans and craftsmen
and constructing in their place multi-storeyed blocks 15-20 high in about seventeen percent
of the land area leaving the rest for developing condominiums for accommodating the
commercial component of the complex. The inhabitants were in the meantime to be
accommodated in transit camps. The scheme attained importance as it was one of the first
such scheme for rehabilitation of the slum dwellers. Many such schemes were expected in
future based on similar principles.
The Commission after detailed deliberation with its body of experts found the
scheme unacceptable from the point of view of urban design, architectural scale and design
values. It felt that the slum dwellers were hitherto living in low rise habitats and were more
attached to the ground. Consequently, before deciding on accommodating the slum dwellers
in such high rise structures, there was a need to take into account the socio-economic
aspects and the humane angle. Also, a system of keeping the complex intact in the long run
needed to be derived as maintenance of such complexes in the long run was a big issue. The
Commission felt that it would be better to have more number of towers with lower heights
both for the EWS and commercial activities, which would result in a proportionate ground
coverage.

Redevelopment Plan for Housing at Kidwai Nagar (East)

The Kidwai Nagar (East) Redevelopment Scheme for General Pool Residential
Accommodation was the first scheme of its kind brought before the Commission. The scheme
proposed 5000 flats in 76 typical tower blocks (with height upto 46mts.) spread over an area
of 86 acres, with repetition of both form of the blocks and design of the flats. It was reported
that there are approximately 3000 existing trees and probably most of them would have to
be cut. The orientation of the flats in the blocks was defective as the flats were facing each
other rather than open green spaces. The existing roads network, did not have capacity to
hold this enhanced FAR.
The Commission spent considerable time on the scheme in view of the fact that
similar schemes in respect of redevelopment plan for other such housing schemes in the
New Delhi area were to be considered by it.
On the basis of its examination of the scheme, the Commission observed that the site of
the project was abutting the Lutyens Banglow Zone (LBZ) and therefore attained significance
by virtue of its location. The sudden transformation of the skyline from low lying structures
barely above tree level in the LBZ to such imposing towers in the immediate vicinity would
have an impact on the emerging urban form of the New Delhi area. Also, the original scheme
envisaged cutting down of a large number of growing trees in the area, which was not
acceptable to the Commission. The scheme as presented would have further burdened the
civic infrastructure of the area. Considering these aspects the main recommendations of the
Commission on the scheme were:[Annual Report 2013-14]

49

i)

ii)

iii)

iv)
v)
vi)

Repetitive nature of the blocks needed to be modified in such a manner that the wall
kind of blocking emerging on south-west side along Aurobindo Marg and towards
Ring Road could be broken bringing some variety in the form and an overall
improvement in the urban design form of this area.
Atleast 50% of the existing trees must be retained/preserved in perimeter area of
setbacks, leaving the monument area. In the open spaces falling over the basement,
there should be adequate provision for plantation and other medium size trees.
In the detail plans of units it was found that kitchens have insufficient
light/ventilation. In fact the house wives would never have view of open spaces. It
was not acceptable and need to be improved.
The service balconies were to be provided with all units to accommodate the
utilities.
The design of blocks should incorporate concealed spaces for air-conditioner and
coolers to ensure that they are not visible on facade.
So as to maintain the architectural character of the building as per design any kind of
enclosing of balconies and other spaces subsequently should not be permitted.

Addition /Alteration to existing multi-storeyed Group Housing

On account of increase in FAR from 167 to 200 made in MPD-2021, a trend has been
observed where group housing societies are proposing additional construction in existing
habited buildings such as adding a balcony to the existing unit etc. Such proposals are being
forwarded by local bodies to DUAC for approval. While scrutinizing such proposals, the
DUAC has observed the problem of structural compatibility of new/additional structures in
the light of earthquake susceptibility, encroachment of open green areas, hazard to the life of
inhabitants, problem of pollution etc. To address these issues the Commission organized a
Workshop on 07.03.2009 in which apart from concerned officials, eminent structural
engineers and other experts participated. The objective was to draw the attention of the
concerned authorities and professionals so that the problems encountered could be
addressed by suitable modifications in the Building ByeLaws and in professional practice.
On the basis of the recommendations emerging from the workshop the Commission
has been of the view that :1.

2.

If horizontal expansion is considered, structural stability should be of paramount

concern. It may, therefore, be necessary to add additional columns to frame the
expansion. Existing structural design would need to be taken into account and
submitted for review while making any horizontal expansion. The increase in FAR
permitted should be viewed in an overall urban context. A Group Housing cannot
grow in the same way as individual units. Thus, if FAR has to be increased it cannot
practically be extended by adding a balcony or an extra room in multistory situations.
Increase in the FAR could be utilized in a separate cluster or block taking into
consideration all attendant issues like scope for expansion, additional requirement
for services, parking, green spaces etc.
As regards individual proposals of group housing, as no norms exist for horizontal
addition to multistoried Group Housing, Structural Feasibility Certificate together

with all necessary supporting documents pertaining to method of construction, site

safety etc. from a competent Structural Engineer could be made mandatory before
consideration is accorded to such a proposal. Horizontal expansion to multistoried
buildings should not be permitted if it entails stressing existing cantilever area.
The situation becomes all the more sensitive in place like Delhi which is situated in
Seismic Zone IV. Thus, while considering a proposal in this regard, microzonation
plan of Delhi needs to be taken into cognizance. Places like Dwarka and Trans
Yamuna areas, where the soil is soft, besides the structural feasibility, geo-technical
safety of these additions and alterations should be made mandatory.
Increase in FAR entails increase in the parking requirements also, which eats into
existing greens and is an aspect that needs consideration.
Horizontal expansion would also reduce open spaces, play areas and parking spaces.
Therefore, these must be considered as per bye-laws requirement before any
expansion proposal is made. The expansion proposals also need to be considered
from the point of movement of fire tender.
In case some separate additional construction is allowed in these schemes, for safety
of the inhabitants of these buildings a good management manual for the construction
phase is required.
Vertical expansion of multistoried buildings would normally entail addition of
dwelling units. Such a case is likely to impair adversely the services pertaining to the
building complex. Thus, the concerned authorities need to satisfy themselves as to
how the additional requirement of services would be met in case addition of dwelling
units are involved on expansion in such buildings.
DDA should also consider the fact that the additional FAR - horizontal, vertical or
additional building would change the building mass and urban form.
In conclusion, a particular aspect which deserves serious consideration is, whether in
the light of the above, it is at all feasible to permit horizontal additions to multistory
group housing apartments. Additional area where feasible may be planned in a
separate block.

As such the Commission has been discouraging additional construction like adding
balconies etc. to existing multistoried housing buildings.

Conservation of Iconic and Architectural Heritage of Delhi

The protected heritage buildings in Delhi fall under two categories, those that are
more than 100 years old and fall under purview of the Archaeological Survey of India in
terms of the Ancient Monuments and Architectural Sites and Remains Act, 1958. The other
category comprises of notified heritage buildings less than 100 years old which were
constructed during the pre-independence period prior to the year 1947 and have been
notified in terms of the Delhi Building Bye-laws, 1983. However, the modern contemporary
iconic buildings having heritage value which came up in the post-independence era still
remain unprotected as they have not been provided heritage status so far. The Commission
has been concerned about a proposal for demolition of some iconic buildings in Pragati
Maidan and construction of a Convention Centre in their place. On May 7, 2013, the
Commission passed a resolution for taking up an exercise for preservation of iconic buildings
in Delhi of contemporary architecture having heritage value. It accordingly requested the
[Annual Report 2013-14]

51

INTACH/the Heritage Conservation Committee to take up an exercise to identify such

buildings for ensuring their conservation and preservation. The INTACH who were
requested for such a list sent a tentative list of 62 such buildings which could be notified as
heritage buildings.
On the suggestion of the Commission the matter has also been considered by the
Heritage Conservation Committee. On the basis of various discussions that have taken place
it has emerged that
(i)
(ii)

Some authority/agency has to take up the rating system for the purpose.
Design and landscape aspects would require to be given due consideration
while framing any rating criteria.
