Based on the replies submitted, the revised submission made, and the unavailability of the architect for discussion (online), the following observations are to be complied with: 

a) It was observed that the unsatisfactory compliances to the previous observations of the Commission communicated vide DUAC observation letter no: OL-27025562009 dated 12.03.2025 has been given.

b) In one of its replies, the architect has indicated that:

“……We have attached the approved layout plan in which Phase 1 and phase 2 has been clearly marked. In phase 1 no changes has be done and the phase 2 layout has been modified...…”

However, the submitted drawings indicate that modifications have also been reflected in the approved Phase-I plans, to the extent that the plot boundary shown in the drawing titled "Overall Layout" does not align with the approved master plan, which is not acceptable. The actual site boundary to be clearly marked on layout plans and to be ensured to be the same in the entire submission to maintain uniformity. As the proposal is at the formal stage, it must be presented without any discrepancies or ambiguities.

c) As per the submission/report submitted by the architect, the current proposal is for modifications in overall master plan while splitting it into phase-I and Phase-II and addition of the following areas:

Anganwadi, Convenient Shops, Coaching Centre, Banquet Hall, Podium, Proposed Residential Building Type -IV (Nos. of Dwelling units=1350) and Nos. of Residential Towers 25.

(02basement under towers) and (1basement under banquet) including podium + stilt.

d) The double road between the primary school and banquet hall appears unnecessary as it occupies excessive space.

The space thus released can be utilized to enhance the green cover.

e) It was noted that the 3D views of amenities located below the podium, such as the Anganwadi, convenience shopping, and coaching centre, are missing. Comprehensive 3D views from all sides for these facilities should be provided, clearly illustrating the connectivity of these amenities with the podium level and other areas of the complex, as they significantly impact both the functionality and aesthetics of the development.

f) The balconies need to have appropriate mechanisms to screen drying clothes so as not to spoil the aesthetics of the facade.

g) Provision of air conditioning is not explained in the submission including residential areas and the podium. Detailed scheme showing the provision of air conditioning mechanism along with appropriate screening of outdoor units along with their location to be provided in the revised submission.

h) All parking provisions shall adhere to all the applicable norms/guidelines/regulations.

i) The solar panels shall be integrated into the design at an appropriate clear height, ensuring that the space beneath can be effectively utilised for shading purposes.

j) Work of public art of suitable scale, size and material, imparting character and identity to the complex, at an appropriate level, shall ensure to be installed in terms of point nos. 14 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

k) Sustainability features shall be as per point 7 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval), which is available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

l) All water tanks, rainwater pipes, plumbing pipes, service equipment, outdoor air-conditioner units, solar panels, etc., should be camouflaged appropriately (in terms of points 10, 11, and 12 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval)), as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.
