The document discusses the key principles and objectives of town planning. It outlines that town planning aims to arrange the components of a town to attain a living organism significance. The objectives of town planning schemes are beauty, convenience, environment, and health. Principles of town planning include green belts, housing, public buildings, recreational centers, road transport, zoning, and transport facilities. The document also provides details on zoning regulations and outlines a proposed housing layout plan which divides the area into residential plots and zones, commercial areas, parks, and roads.

1. TOWN PLANNING
A4 BATCH

2. INTRODUCTION:
The term town planning is used to indicate the arrangements of various components
or units of a town in such a way that it attains a significance of living organism.it also
includes ways and means to be adopted for the improvement of existing towns or for the
extension of towns, the knowledge of town planning helps in achieving best possible
advantages of situation of town with respect to its land and the surrounding environments,
in a sense, it is proper to say that god made the country and manmade the town.
The town planning is a science as well as art too, the science consists of collecting,
correlating, analysing the facts about town, the art lies in arranging the components of a
town in such a way that the final result is in the form of beautiful, convenient, and
economical and efficient units, thus science and art must join their hand and work as co-
partners in the difficult task of bringing out a well arranged town.

3. OBJECTIVES OF TOWN PLANNING:
The four essential objects or ideals of any town planning scheme are,
 Beauty,
 Convenience,
 Environment,
 Health

4.  Beauty: beauty is achieved by taking the most possible advantages of natural conditions
surrounding the town and also by giving architectural building, temples, churches, mosques,
buildings of cultural and historical significance, etc.
 Convenience: The object of convenience is understood in the form of various economic, social
and recreational amenities to be given to public, social, these amenities include power and
electricity, proper sites for industrial units, transport facility, adequate water supply, easy
disposal of sewage and industrial wastes, facilities to commercial units, etc. the recreational
amenities include open space, parks, town halls, playground, cinema houses, stadiums, etc.
 Environment: The object of environment is important in the sense that environment should
be moulded in such a way that man can go about his normal activities with last amount of
strain. The complex problems of the modern society such as tiresome travel to work, long
hours of work, limited time spent within the community.

5. PRINCIPLES OF TOWN PLANNING:
1. Green belt
2. Housing
3. public buildings
4. Recreational centers
5. Road transport
6. Transport facility
7. Zoning.

6.  Green belt: The provision of a green belt on the periphery of town results in the
limitation of its size hence, the final size of the town is anticipated.
 Housing: Extreme care should be taken to provide housing accommodation to
various public buildings throughout the town. It should be observed that there is no
development of slum and further, if slums are existing, they should be cleared.
 Public buildings: There should be a well-developed grouping and distribution of
various public buildings throughout the town, the unnecessary concentration of
public buildings at certain spots of the town should be avoided.
 Recreation buildings: depending upon the size of the town, enough space should
be reserved for the development of recreational centers for the general public.
 Road system: The efficiency of any town is measured by the layout of its roads, a
nicely designed road systems puts a great impression in the mind of people
especially the visitors of the town, the provision of the faulty road systems in the
initial stages of town formation proves to be too difficult and costly to repair or to
rearrange in future.

7.  Zoning: The town should be divided into suitable zones such as commercial zone,
industrial zone, residential zone, etc. and suitable rule and regulation should be
formed for the development of each zone.
 Transport facilities: The town should be provided with suitable transport
facilities so that there is minimum loss of time from place of work to residence.

8. SELECTION OF SITE FOR AN IDEAL HOUSING LAYOUT
1. Availability of good surrounding, climate conditions, contours of the area, streams, and
lakes, fertile land etc.
2. Facilities of drainage, sewage disposal.
3. Availability of water resources, electric power, means of communication, transport, etc.
4. Areas of residence, public, commerce, and industries based on zoning.
5. Essential public services like water supply, drainage, electricity, telephone, gas services
etc.
6. Public amenities like post offices, police stations, petrol pumps, fire brigade stations,
dairies, dhobi ghats etc.
7. Educational institutions like school, colleges etc.
8. Recreational amenities like parks, gardens, play grounds, etc.
9. Good network of roads.

9. ZONING:
 Zoning is defined by the as the creation by law of sections or zones such as
residential, commercial, industrial, civic, institutional and recreational in which
the regulations prevent misuse of lands and buildings and limit their height and
densities of population differing in different zones.
 Zoning is the application of common sense and fairness to public regulation
governing the use of private land.

10.  While planning a city, first town planner has to define as to what particular
area will be used to what type of particular purpose, after considering the
natural elements like sun, wind direction source of water, natural hills, etc.
while planning the city the area of the town can be divided into following
zones:
1) Industrial zone
2) Administrative zone
3) Business zone
4) Open space
5) Residential zone
6) Recreational zone
7) Local administrative zone
8) Agricultural zone

11. ZONING AS PER LOCALAUTHORITY (BELGAUM URBAN
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

14. HOUSING LAYOUT:
 HOUSING LAYOUT:
 The world health organization (WHO) defines housing as the concept of housing is
an enclosed environment in which man finds protection and feels safe and secured
from hostile forces and can function with increased comfort and satisfaction as regards
privacy to the individual and his family, the environment must include all necessity,
services, facilities, equipments, and devices needed forphysical and social wellbeing
of the family of the individual.
 The basic inputs of housing thus become:
1) Land
2) Materials
3) Finance
 Housing starts from one room and the combination of room creates a house, the
science of arrangement of these houses with the provisions of all the necessary
infrastructure is ‘Housing’

15. Lay out of residential units: the important points to be
considered in the planning of residential units are as below:
1) House should be designed in different types with pleasing elevations.
2) Houses should be planned in harmony with surrounding like lakes, streams,
greeneries, etc.
3) Houses should be properly oriented to get maximum advantage of the sun,
wind and topography.
4) Density of population should be in accordance with the standards specified by
the competent authority.
5) House for different income groups should be grouped together to build the
spirit of neighborhood.

16. Regulations for housing layout as per belagavi urban development authority:
 The purpose of these regulation is to guide the development of new areas in
accordance with the land use plan, as long as this is done on sound planning
principles with adequate space standards, the future of the town is assured, this
will not increase costly corrective measures.
 6.4.2.1 Size of plots:
1) No residential plot resulting from sub division from after these regulations
come into force is smaller in size than 54 sq.m. in residential zone. In specific
cases of sites for housing schemes for economically weaker sections, low
income groups, slum clearance and ashraya housing, the authority may relax
the above condition.
2) The minimum road width required may be relaxed up to 6m in case of EWS
schemes and ashraya schemes only.
3) Handling over of roads, parks and open spaces and civic amenities sites free of
cost to the authority may be relaxed in case the scheme is taken up by the
central and state government agencies.

17. RESIDENTIAL ZONE:
This zone covers 48.5% of area of the total extent, this zone includes
residential houses, neighborhood shops, etc. the details of the residential zone of
the proposed project as follows:
RESIDENTIAL ZONE
Description No. Area in m2 Total area (m2) Remarks
