                   3.1 On Design Intent                                                                                                                                                                      to “advise the Government of India in the matter of preserving, developing
                   Since the size of the site is reasonably large, it made it easier to explore the possibility of apportionment of land for
                   remunerative purpose. Taking into account the social and commercial requirements of the existing population, it was                                                                      and maintaining the aesthetic quality of urban and environmental design within
                   possible to allocate 0.8 ha of land for it. From the onset, it was recognized that to achieve the maximum permissible
                   FAR of 400 with units of 25 to 30 sq m was not a mathematical possibility. However, the high rental population on                                                                        Delhi and to provide advice and guidance to any local body in respect of any
                   the site opened the possibility of two alternatives explorations:
                   a. To house the owner population in only two-room units.                                                                                                                                 project of building operations or engineering operations or any development
                   b. To house the owner population in two-room units and the rental population in single-room units.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            proposal which affects or is like to affect the skyline or the aesthetic quality of
                   3.2 Outcome                                                                                                                                                                                        the surroundings or any public amenity provided therein”.
                   This led to two satisfactory design solutions. In the irst option, a total FAR of 200 was achieved by accommodating an
                   average of 2901 PPHA. The density being reasonable and the unit design being compact, the resultant scheme has ive-
                   storey walk-up apartments. A low-rise layout with satisfactory open spaces and social infrastructure emerged.
                   In the second option, the attempt was made to accommodate all rental as well as owner population. In this option the
                   average density of 4426 PPHA was achieved with a FAR of 300. However, with a careful mix of low-rise (5 storey),
                   medium-rise (stilt + 9 storey) and high-rise (stilt + 11 storey) blocks it was still possible to create satisfactory open
                   spaces for community use.

                   3.3 Recommendations
                   • As the relationship between 400 FAR and 900 dwelling units per hectare with a unit size of 25 to 30 sq m is a
                     mathematical paradox, there is a need to cut back on the FAR. Alternately this FAR, if sustainable from the point of
                     view of available physical infrastructure in the precinct and neighbourhood, could be transferred to the remunerative
                     component.
                   • The setback provision on small plots needs to be re-examined as it precludes the creation of satisfactory community
                     open spaces by scattering precious open land as peripheral ribbons. This is particularly important since the lack of
                     restriction on ground coverage allows for multiple explorations in the realm of low and medium-rise development.
