1. The North-DMC forwarded (through email) the proposal for consideration by the Commission.
2. The Commission accepted the concept of the proposal received at conceptual stage at its meeting held on March 29, 2023.
3. The building plans proposal (for office building comprising of 2 basement + ground + 12 floors) received (through email) 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, photographs, email dated 09.04.2026 etc, and the discussion held, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The Commission observed that, being a public building, it shall be ensured that adequate provisions for universal accessibility, including lifts, are adhere to in accordance with applicable norms, guidelines, and regulations.

b) Wherever planters have been proposed, it shall be ensured that adequate drainage provisions are incorporated to prevent damage to the structure. It shall also be ensured that the design, placement, and maintenance of planters do not adversely impact or compromise the aesthetics of the façade over time.

c) All parking provisions shall adhere to all the applicable norms/guidelines/regulations, etc. (in terms of points no. 18 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval)), as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) 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.

1. The South-DMC forwarded (through online) the proposal for consideration by the Commission.
2. The building plans proposal (for residential building comprising of basement + stilt+ ground + three floors) received (through online) at the formal stage was scrutinised. Based on the submission made, including documentation, drawings, and photographs; the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The site photographs indicate the presence of existing structures; however, the demolition plan has not been submitted. A demolition plan, duly superimposed on the proposed layout plan, shall be furnished in the revised proposal to enable a comprehensive and judicious review.

b) Considering the plot size and its location on a main road, the proposed façade appears contemporary and not contextual to its surroundings. The elevation also lacks sufficient detailing. It is recommended to explore alternative façade options using appropriate architectural elements that respond to the site context, while incorporating features to mitigate harsh weather conditions such as sun and rain.

c) The proposed layout appears functionally inefficient, as it provides only one toilet and one water closet for three bedrooms, while two lifts have been proposed. Additionally, access to the toilet is through a bedroom, which is not considered an efficient arrangement. It is recommended that the internal layout be redesigned to ensure functional efficiency, while maintaining coherence and harmony in the building façade as per Point 8 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval), available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

d) Provisions made for the weather protection shall adhere to be in accordance with prevailing UBBL norms, regulations, and applicable statutory provisions.

e) The Commission noted that the proposal is at the Formal stage; however, the structural arrangement, including the column layout, has not been indicated. This may impact internal functional planning, furniture layouts, basement and stilt parking arrangements, as well as overall circulation.

f) The submission is incomplete, as only a single 3D view has been provided. Given that the proposal is at the Formal stage, annotated 3D views of the rear side and a bird’s eye view, including all terrace level utilities (water tanks, solar panels etc.), shall be submitted. These shall be consistent and coordinated with the drawings, including plans and elevations, to ensure clarity and uniformity in the proposal.

g) All parking provisions shall adhere to all the applicable norms/guidelines/regulations, etc. (in terms of points no. 18 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval)), as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

h) A portion of the front has been earmarked for road widening; the same shall be addressed by the concerned local body in accordance with prevailing UBBL norms, regulations, and applicable statutory provisions.

i) All plumbing pipes, rainwater pipes, service equipment, 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.

j) 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) The Commission observed that the proposal in respect of the ‘Residential Apartment’ was approved at its meeting held on January 17, 2020 with specific observations. The proposal was approved in terms of materials, finishes, architectural elements, façade, etc. It was noted from the revised submission, and the extracts taken from the project report, it was evident that the proposal has been revised completely to the extent that:

i.  The façade and the overall internal design scheme of the residential towers (T1, T2, T3, T7, T8, T9) and the towers with the community hall (T4, T5, T6) has undergone substantial changes compared to the previously approved 3D views.

c) The façade indicates an aesthetic feature at the top of each tower; however, requisite details, including structural design, material specifications, termination details, and drainage provisions, etc, have not been provided. Accordingly, the submission does not adequately demonstrate design feasibility or maintenance considerations. As the proposal is at the Formal stage, all such details shall be furnished through detailed plans, elevations, sections, and annotated 3D views to ensure clarity and completeness.

d) Detailed skin sections shall also be submitted to clearly illustrate the façade treatment, including material specifications and provisions for weather protection.

e) It has been observed that the façade proposes long wrap-around balconies (including kitchen utilities) with glass railings; however, details of the vertical members are either not provided or appear inadequate.

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.

l) 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.
