1. TYPES OF PLANS
1.1 ZonalPlan
IndianMaster planapproachwas fundamentallyguidedbythe BritishTownPlanning
legislations.Andfurtherintegratingthe westernconceptof 'zoning'intothe Master
planningleadtothe preparationof new lowerhierarchydevelopmentplanscalled'Zonal
developmentplan'handlingmore comprehensive andmore focusedobjectivesderived
fromthe Master plan.
Zonal developmentplansare the nextlevel hierarchical policyplansafterthe Masterplans
whichdetail outthe broadobjectivesof the Masterplanat comparativelysmallerregions
while incorporatingthe guidelinesandproposalsbythe Masterplan withoutdeviatingfar
fromthe primarygoal of developmentsetbyMasterplan.Unlike Masterplanshere these
zonal plansare preparedforshortertermswith more focuson detailing.
1.1.1 Need
As the cityis initsinitial stage of growththere isurbanagglomerationtakingplace intothe
citywhichusuallyderiveddue toone ora few unique characteristicsspreadingalmost
homogeneousthroughoutthe city.Butas the citykeepsgrowingbigger,there are different
newcharacteristicsbrushedwithoutthe priorknowledge ondifferentpartsof the city
holdinghuge population.Thisarisesnewproblemswithsolutionsgenerallyoutof the scope
of the single characterorientedMasterplanswhichtreatsthe whole cityequal anddevelops
the regulationsbasedonthe commonor prominentcharacterof the citywithmajor aspects
indetail.Also,itisimpossible toadvocate these changesintothe Masterplandue toits
long-termvisionaryapproach.
At thispointthe Authoritieshave come upwithsuchinspiringsolutionof preparationof
separate developmentplansfordifferentsmallerregionscalledzoneswhichare divided
basedon the broadprevailingcharacterof the area.Now,havingan opportunityof
independentplanningforeachzone,these zonal developmentplansputtheirfocuson
those subobjectivesdevelopedaccordingtothe uniquenessof the zones.
1.1.2 Scope of Zonal Plan
o Preparationof base mapshowingall buildings,roads,railwaylines,waterbodies,
culverts,bridges,high/low tensionlines,drainage lines,layouts,parks,playgrounds,
wetlands,etc.usinghighresolutionSatellite imagerywhichmaybe updated,if needed

1.1.2 Legality of Zonal plan
Comingto the questionof legalityof the zonal developmentplans,thoughbothzonal plans
and masterplansare approvedandauthorizedequallybythe State Governments,any
changesor amendmentsare directedonlytowardsthe statutorymasterplanwhichreflects
those changesontothe lowerhierarchyplansfurther.Mostdevelopmentauthoritiesprefer
the developmentof these zonal planssimultaneouslywiththe preparationof the Master
plansto provide immediateaidastool to the Master planimplementationatgroundlevel.
