TP Scheme

HISTORY OF PLANNING

First town planning act was implemented in 1915.

-This provided for planning of small areas around the city, which is growing or proposed for growth through Town Planning Schemes.

Act was modified in 1954.

-This Act provided for preparation of development plan (master plan) for the entire city along with detail planning through T.P.Scheme.

The recent version of the Act is of 1976.

-To day we have provision for covering areas beyond city limit. Act provides for delineating urbaniseable area and constituting Authority.

Earlier Scenario

• Chaotic Growth.
• Inadequate Resources for Infrastructure.
• Inadequate Land for Roads.
• Insufficient Data for Planning.

Implementation Initiatives Process

To enable rapid implementation of TP Schemes, AUDA initiated reforms in the Town Planning Act. These reforms were supported by Govt. of Gujarat

• It makes possible to take possession of land for roads as soon as a Draft TP Scheme is sanctioned.
• AUDA can recover cost of infrastructure provision in the form of land. This method of cost recovery is now widely accepted by land owners/ citizens.

Preparation and Implementation of TP Schemes with usage of new advanced technologies.

• Total station survey are conducted right at start for upcoming TP Schemes.
• Computerized preparation of TP Schemes.

Prahladnagar -a model TP Scheme on previously reserved land in the south-west periphery of the city was taken up first.

• The Scheme brings 162 hectares of planned and serviced land into the market which was previously reserved land.
• Development of infrastructure through self financed and self sustaining mechanisms of TP Schemes from saleable plots allotted to Authority.
• Roads,Water Supply, Drainage and Street Lighting has been executed.
