Structure plan
1/15/2018Prof.S.K.Patil,www.skpatil.com

 The term ‘structure’ here means the social, economic, and physical systems
of an area.
 A structure plan is one that singles out for attention of certain aspect as
 patterns of land use and the development activities they give rise to,
 network of communication
 location of critical facilities and buildings,
 distribution of the population,
 The structure plan aims to influence certain key decisions.
 The structure plan will need to take account of regional and national policies.
 The structure plan for an area will be integrated with the structure plans for
adjoining areas
 It means that aims, policies and proposals in a structure plan must be
coordinated with those for the adjoining areas.

Structure plan ….cont

 Function of structure plans
1. Interpreting national and regional policies
2. Establishing aims, policies and general proposals for the area for which
the plan is prepared
3. Providing framework for local plans:-
the broad policies and proposals of the structure plan form a
framework for the more detailed policies and proposals in local plans
1. Indicating action areas, which are priority areas for intensive action
2. Providing guidance for development control in those parts of the area not
covered, or not yet covered, by a local plan;
3. Providing basis for co-ordinating decisions between various committees
of the planning authority and district councils who deal with various
components of development, and other public bodies likely to be
concerned with important aspects of the plan.
4. Bringing main planning issues and decisions before minister and public.

5
 The structure plan is decisions document i.e. only those policies or proposals
are included in structure plan which will affect significantly the structure of the
area.
 The structure plans will not only contain decisions but will also explain how
these decisions were arrived at.
 A report of the survey supporting the plan and description of examination of
alternative decision that may have been considered and the way in which a
particular course of action may have been chosen will also form part of the
written document accompanying the plan.
 Whereas the structure plan needs to contain general development control
policies for items of structural importance, detailed development control
standards should not be included in the structure plan.

6
 The structure plan will not relate to a fixed end date, because it is not
possible to look ahead over the same period of time for all aspects of the
plan.
 However, the time perspective will be taken into account by setting priorities
for short-term projects, setting-out phases of implementation, by keeping
track of projected populations for specific census years, and including
policies for long term projects, which may be open-ended, long-term, and in
broad outline only.
 Since policies in the structure plan are stated in broad terms, considerable
flexibility is available to the authority to amend parts of structure plans at the
time of working out details, to adjust to situations not foreseen at the time of
preparation of the plan.

Detailed (zonal) development plan
7
The DDP to be prepared by the Local Planning authority may propose or provide
for all or any of the following matters;
 Laying out or relaying of land either vacant or already built upon, as building
sites;
 Construction, diversion, extension, alteration, improvement or closure of
lanes, streets, roads and communication;
 Construction, alteration, removal or demolition of buildings, bridges and other
structures;
 Land acquisition by purchase, exchange or otherwise of any land, or other
immovable property within the area included in the DDP whether required
immediately or not;
 Redistribution of boundaries and the reconstitution of existing plots
 Disposal by sale, exchange, lease or otherwise of land acquired
 Transport facilities, water supply, lighting
 Drainage inclusive of sewage and of surface draining and sewage disposal

Detailed (zonal) development plan ..

 Allotment or reservation of land for public purposes
 Defining, demarcating of the reconstituted plots
 Construction of buildings, housing or resettlement of persons displaced by
DDP’s
 Demarcation of places or objects and building of archaeological, religious,
historical or environmentally sensitive areas
 Imposition of conditions and restrictions on buildings/structures with regard to
character, density, architectural features, height, building control lines for
provision and maintenance of sufficient open spaces about buildings and
 Advance to land or building owners within DDPs upon such terms and
conditions as may be
 provided by the said plan, whole or part of the amount required for the
erection of buildings or
 for carrying out the works, alterations or improvements in accordance with
DDP.

Detailed (zonal) development plan..
9
Every DDP shall contain the
 Plan showing lines of existing and proposed street network
 Ownership of land and buildings in the area covered by the plan
 Area of all lands, whether public or private
 Description & details of the plan
 Description of all lands either acquired or to be acquired for purposes
mentioned above
 Particulars regarding number and nature of houses to be provided by
authority, where DDPs provide for any housing or resettlement, extent
of land to be acquired, and all supplemental, incidental or
consequential to such housing / rehousing
 Zoning & enforcement regulations for carrying out the provisions for
the DDP

Comprehensive plan
10
 “Comprehensive” means that the plan encompasses all geographical
parts of the community and all functional elements which bear on
physical development.
 Although there is some variation in the content of comprehensive
plans, three technical elements are commonly included: the private
uses of land, community facilities, and circulation.
 Comprehensive plans may cover other subjects, such as utilities, civic
design and special uses of land unique to the locality. Usually there is
background information on the population, economy, existing land use,
assumptions and community goals.
 The comprehensive plan seeks to combine in one document the
prescriptions for all aspects of city development. It includes an analysis
of the city’s economy, its demographic characteristics, and the history
of its spatial development as a preface to plan for how the city should
evolve over 20 year period

Comprehensive plan …
11
There are six basic requirements, which the plan document should fulfil.
1. The plan should be comprehensive
2. The plan should be long-range
3. The plan should be general
4. The plan should focus on physical development
5. The plan should relate physical design proposals to community
goals and social and economic policies
6. The plan should be first a policy instrument, and only second a
technical instrument.

Subject plans
12
 There will be cases, where there will be an urgent need to develop a particular
structure policy in advance of a comprehensive district plan, or where other
issues in particular are insufficient to justify a comprehensive treatment.
Circumstances such as these call for the preparation of Subject plans whose
range of functions is the same as for other local plans.
 Plans of this kind may be concerned with issues that cover parts of a wide
area, such as the reclamation of a number of sites left behind by mineral
workings, or the conservation of several areas of architectural interest;
alternatively they may be concerned with some form of linear development,
such as the visual or environmental treatment of a motorways corridor in the
courtside or the recreational use of river valley or a strip of coast.
 The coverage of such plans may sometimes be similar to that of a district plan
but their content may differ from it being confined to a single aspect of
planning. E.g. special proposals for dealing with the working of a mineral that
only occur in one part of a country.

Subject plans …
13
 In certain circumstances, subject plans may be needed to give
immediate effect to certain administrative procedures associated with
the development plan.
 Plans of this type may be concerned with the definition of areas within
which certain policies, power or grant aid may apply.
 Examples are green belt, for an area of outstanding natural beauty for
an area designed for town development.
 Normally such proposals, together with their associated policy
statements, should included as part of district or an action area plan.
 But where definition is required in advance of or apart from
comprehensive local plans, subject plans can be prepared

Master plans
14
For a successful town planning there must be a plan, which envisages
the entire town as a single unit. This is necessary to achieve overall
development of the town in co-coordinated manner. The development or
expansion of a town takes a long time, and therefore, the development
requires control at any time on the basis of a plan. Such a plan is called
as “Master Plan”
 Need of master plan
