The document discusses development controls in Chandigarh, India. It describes how development controls regulate urban development by guiding land use and construction. Chandigarh has used development controls extensively to promote high quality development and built environment. Controls manage development both within the city through rules on building design, and outside the city through peripheral regulations. Controls vary based on location, building type and use.

1. Development Controls
Development Controls have been defined as the mechanism through which entire process of urban development is regulated to achieve the
objective of promoting overall benefit of the society and creating a distinct image of the city. It includes guiding the development and use of
land, curbing misuse of land and promoting rational and orderly development of built environment. Development controls are required to
meet situations and contexts which are generally static. In this context they tend to become too rigid and complex. Looking at the far reaching
impact and implications of development controls on the growth and development, character, fabric and personality of a city, they need to be
framed with great care and abundant caution. Considering the larger public interest and general welfare of the community, formulation of the
development control should satisfy the basic requirements of health, safety convenience, economy and amenity.
Chandigarh has been credited with extensively using development controls for promoting state of art development and quality built
environment. In the absence of any statutory master plan, growth and development of Chandigarh has been exclusively regulated through
various development controls which have been put into operation as integral part of city planning and development process. Pattern of growth
and development, distinct character and personality of Chandigarh have their genesis in the comprehensive set of development controls.
Chandigarh has put in operation two distinct sets of development controls to regulate its growth and development, both within and out side
the city. Haphazard, unplanned substandard and ramshackle development around the city is regulated and controlled by ‘The Punjab New
Capital (periphery) Control Act, 1952,’ Act, which controls and regulates the area contained in 16 kms. belt, around the new capital of
Chandigarh, declared as Periphery, under the provisions of the said law.
Development within the city is being managed through various kinds of development controls. Development Controls within the city have its
genesis in ‘The Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulations) Act, 1952’. Section 4,of the said Act, empowers Chief Administrator to

2. issue such directions, as may be considered appropriate ,in respect of any site or building for the proposes of proper planning or development
of Chandigarh. The directions can be issued in respect of:
 Architectural features of the elevation or frontage of any building.
 Erection of detached or semi-detached buildings.
 Number of residential buildings which may be erected on any site.
 Prohibition regarding erection of shops, workshops, warehouses, factories or buildings of a specified architectural character.
 Maintenance of height and position of walls, fences, hedges etc.
 Restrictions regarding the use of site for purposes other than erection of buildings.
Section 5, of the said Act, provides that all buildings in Chandigarh to conform to the Building Rules. Such rules include:
 Materials and methods to be used for construction of buildings
 Height of the building.
 Ventilation in building
 Building set- backs.
 Number and height of storey/building.
 Means of ingress or egress.
 Minimum size of habitable rooms etc.
Section 11 of the said Act provides for notification of “Tree Preservation Order’, to preserve the existing trees and to plant/replant trees in any
specified site or location.

3. Section 12 provides for issue of ‘Advertisement Control Order’ to restrict, regulate the display of advertisements in Chandigarh in order to
check the visual pollution .
 However, the Punjab Capital (Development and Regulation) Building Rules, 1952 framed under the Principal Act of Capital of
Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, put into operation different development controls to regulate the architectural
character of the buildings to be constructed in the city. Initially, there was only one type of control i.e. Architectural Control
prescribed in the rules to regulate the architectural character of the buildings beside the Zoning Control. However, subsequently
Frame Control was added to cover the Marla type housing. Architectural Controls are applicable only in the areas which are declared
as Special Areas in the Zoning Plan.Schedule1 defines the Special areas in which Architectural Controls Sheets will operate:
 Areas along some V2 roads were shown on the zoning plans.
 Areas of shops and terraced houses along some V4 roads where shown on the zoning plans.
 Some areas of city centre as shown on the zoning plans.
 Any other areas shown as special areas on the zoning plan.
The Building Rules inter-alias provide for following Development Controls:
 Architectural Controls
 Frame control
 Zoning
Building Rules have classified all the buildings to be constructed in Chandigarh into 4 distinct categories which include:
 Residential Buildings
 Commercial Buildings

4.  Warehouse and Industrial buildings
 Public buildings.
All these buildings are subjected to different development controls for regulating their design and construction. The application of the
development controls have been largely dictated by the category of buildings, location of the site, size of the site and need to regulate the
building design/architecture etc.
Considering the role and importance of major axes of the city including all the Margs (V2s) and Shopping streets (V4) within the sector in
defining the character of the growth and development, all the sites located on these roads are declared as special areas and accordingly
subjected to detailed architectural controls.
Level and intensity of controls made applicable are at variance depending upon the importance of the location and category of buildings.
Buildings located on major axis (V2) are subjected to rigorous controls as compared to buildings located on V3. Buildings located on V4 are
required to follow well defined controls as compared to building on V5 & V6. Buildings located in City Centre (sector 17) and Sub-City Centre
(Sector 43) is required to follow strict material and construction controls along with Architectural design.
Controls are also dictated by the category of buildings. Accordingly, Commercial buildings are subjected to more detailed controls as
compared to residential buildings. All commercial buildings are subjected to detailed Architectural Controls. Within residential buildings,
Marla type houses follow elaborate system of Development controls in the shape of Frame Controls whereas larger residential plots are
subjected to more relaxed Zoning Controls, regulating the set backs, height, building line , ground, coverage, FAR etc. However, residential
buildings located on V4, irrespective of their size, are subject to detailed architectural controls. Institutional buildings of larger sizes are
regulated through the mechanism of zoning whereas small size buildings are subject to architectural controls. Buildings of special character

5. including cinema, petrol pumps are required to follow a design prepared by a qualified Architect in consultation with the Chief Architect.
However large institutional complexes like PGI and Punjab University do not follow any specified development controls. Construction in
these campuses is regulated through the designs prepared by Architects employed by them.
While looking at different controls, all public buildings designed by Chief Architect, generally did not follow any stringent control whereas
all buildings falling in the domain of private buildings are regulated through detailed systems of development controls. While looking at
different controls, no well defined pattern of ground coverage, FAR, height, number of storeys etc. has been followed. In most cases they are
at variance. Further in the garb of Architectural Controls, in most of the cases complete architectural designs have been provided bringing
enormous amount of rigidity in the built environment. Development Controls made applicable on different areas of the city including major
roads are detailed below:
