 Regulation is necessary to ensure planned development
 Motive of development control is that any approved plan is
implemented by individual and by corporate or by public
sector developer and thus all new developments should
confirm to the provision of the plan.
 Necessity: DCR is must for every growing city because the
area immediately beyond the city limits is often a source of
health hazard to the city and generally under no strict
control of an efficient local authority.

 1) To control the private development as per the required
standards in relation to public health, safety and convenience.
 2) To encourage private interest along with public interest in all
aspects of development.
 3) To prevent the conflicting demand and misuse of land.
 4) To control and prevent overcrowding on land.

authority has the power to punish the defaulters.

 Zoning Regulations deal with
 1) Allocation of land for specific purposes
2) Control of the use, height and construction of the building
 Objective of zoning:-
1) The Town planner gets ample opportunity for designing the future
growth and development of the town.
2) Re-zoning if required for better uses of land by revising their zoning
ordinances can be possible.
3) The zoning affords proper co-ordination of various public amenities
such as transport facilities, drainage, electric power, etc.
4) The zoning proves to be an effective instrument for making any
town planning scheme effective and successful
