1. The NDMC forwarded (online) the proposal for consideration by the Commission.
2. The proposal in respect of GPRA Colony, Sarojini Nagar was approved by the Commission at its meeting held on January 17, 2020.
3. The building plan proposal for the redevelopment of GPRA Colony, Sarojini Nagar (B+G+5 floors) received (online) at the formal stage was scrutinised and a detailed discussion was held with the architect (online) on Cisco Webex meetings, during which clarifications were provided to the Commission’s queries. Based on the submission made, including drawings, documentations, and photographs, etc, discussion held, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The layout plan proposes the provision of puzzle parking at the site entrance. However, the current placement of the parking facility is likely to result in traffic congestion during peak hours due to its location and the time required for vehicle parking. It is therefore recommended that the parking facility be relocated to the rear of the site to ensure a congestion-free entrance. Accordingly, the main hospital building may be positioned towards the front of the site, while the parking area and other service functions are accommodated at the rear, with adequate visual screening to maintain site aesthetics and functionality. This would also help maintain a visually appealing front façade, which is currently affected by the proposed puzzle parking.

b) The proposed puzzle parking system does not appear to be efficiently designed, as the floor-to-floor heights appears to exceed the requirements for such parking facilities. It is therefore recommended to reduce the floor-to-floor height of the parking block to optimise space utilisation and accommodate a greater number of parking spaces within the same overall building height.

c) The extent of the site is not clear from the submitted site photographs, as the surrounding areas are under construction. It is therefore required that revised photographs be submitted, clearly indicating the site boundaries, to ensure clarity and make the submission self-explanatory.​​​​​​​

d) The layout plans, particularly the ground floor plan, indicate uniform levels across the entire site, both within and outside the building footprint, while simultaneously showing the provision of ramps for upward and downward movement. It is therefore required that the drawings be revised to clearly indicate correct site levels, including finished ground levels and the plinth level, to ensure clarity and technical accuracy.​​​​​​​

e) A canteen has been provided on the ground floor but it does not indicate its capacity, associated services etc. The same shall be relooked at. Also, a lot of waste (dry and wet, food items, etc.) supposed to be generated, a detailed solid waste management plan proposal along with its location on the site plan be submitted. ​​​​​​​

f) The roof design of the guard room shall be detailed, including provisions for rainwater drainage and appropriate screening of utilities, if any, to ensure proper functionality and visual integration.​​​​​​​

g) As the site forms part of a larger complex, it is recommended that materials similar to those used in the surrounding buildings be adopted to ensure visual harmony and coherence.​​​​​​​

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

i) The Work of public art of suitable scale, size and material, imparting character and identity to the complex shall ensure to be installed in terms of point nos. 14 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) and Memorandum dated October 07, 2025 available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in. Any deviations in the artwork from the approved design must be submitted to the Commission for prior approval before the commencement of construction, to ensure compliance and facilitate final approval upon project completion.​​​​​​​

j) The installation of clear-story solar panels on a well-designed structural frame, integrated with the building design, is suggested to ensure the effective utilisation of the space beneath, subject to feasibility as per building bye-laws. This placement also facilitates easy maintenance, reduces heat load through increased shading, and improves aesthetics. The sustainability features shall be as per Point 7 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval), available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

a) It was observed that the proposal has been resubmitted without satisfactorly complying to the Commission’s observations furnished vide DUAC letter no: OL-22122522120 dated 30.12.2025. The following observations are reiterated:

“...(e )The proposed design scheme does not include provisions for screening outdoor air-conditioning units, drying clothes on balconies, or concealing plumbing pipes and service shafts. A comprehensive screening strategy should be developed for all these service elements within each block to preserve façade aesthetics and prevent adverse impacts. To enhance understanding, detailed large-scale drawings, such as plans, elevations, sections, and 3D views, of a typical block should be provided.

(g) The Commission emphasised that the building must properly screen all exposed pipes, designate screened spaces for outdoor air conditioning units, and remove all temporary balcony coverings...”

b) The detailing of the proposed jaali used for screening is not appropriate. It shall be ensured that the jaali is designed to extend up to the bottom level of the balcony slab to effectively screen utilities, including outdoor air-conditioning units. Further, the design of the railing shall be revised to ensure user safety, and detailed design drawings shall be submitted as part of the revised submission.

c) The details of the Swachh Bharat toilet have not been presented adequately. It shall be ensured that complete and coordinated details are provided integrated to the complex, including plans, elevations, sections, and three-dimensional views, for clarity and proper assessment.

d) All parking provisions shall adhere to all the applicable norms/guidelines/regulations, etc.

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