The site has high slopes.
More than 85% of the site
has slope more than 32°. As
per the construction standards
for hilly areas, the buildable
slopes should be either less
than or equal to 15°. The
buildable area of the site lies
along the existing MDDA

There are two options to be proposed to
the site:
• Extension of the existing MDDA
Parking.
• Multi-level car parking at feasible
