The building plan proposal {addition of Block-2(Office) and Block-3(Servant)} received (online) at the formal stage was scrutinised, and a detailed discussion (online) was held with the architect on Cisco Web Ex meetings who provided clarifications to the queries of the Commission. Based on the discussion held (online), and submission made, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The Commission observed that while considering the case for the proposed additional block-2 and 3, it did not consider and cover the existing built construction at the site. This concerns the proposed additional block-2 and 3 only.

b) It was observed that the site already has an existing development on the site including the built superstructure (Block-1) but no photograph of the same has been provided to understand the actual site conditions better.  An appropriate nos. of site photographs including the main gate, boundary wall, existing development, landscaping, and parking areas shall be provided to get in-depth clarity of the site. They need to be resubmitted with proper uncut views from all sides.

c) Only two 3D views of the design scheme of the proposed block-2 have been submitted but without any views of block-3, the proposal being at the formal stage needs to provide all side 3D views of the block-2 & 3 including birds' eye view, public interface areas, landscaping, night time views (to understand the lighting mechanism better).

d) Considering the existing development on the site, the Commission observed that the proposal cannot be studied in isolation i.e., it needs to be reviewed in conjunction with the surrounding facilities, therefore, 3D views of the site shall be superimposed with the existing context of the surroundings including road networks, structures around the site, for better understanding of the proposal in the actual environment to make it clearer.

e) Elevations and sections need to be detailed clearly showing the architectural elements, sun shading mechanisms etc. Also, the skin sections (in detail) shall be submitted to understand the elevation of the façade with materials.

f) Detailed sections (including longitudinal and cross-section across the site as well) supplemented with the existing development shall be submitted to understand the cohesion between the existing & the proposed development for the judicious consideration of the proposal.

g) Since, the proposed blocks are part of a large campus with existing development on the site, a combined mobility plan showing seamless, conflict-free pedestrian and vehicular movement plan from outside to different blocks is to be submitted, to understand the movement (vehicular & pedestrian) pattern within the site better.

h) Signages on the site (for existing & the proposed development) shall follow the same/uniform vocabulary to ensure that they do not mar the visual & aesthetics of the façade.

i) All parking provisions (for existing as well as proposed development) appear to have been envisaged on the surface, the Commission opines that these requisite surface parking requirements not only spoil the visual & urban aesthetics of the area but also create a lot of hard-paved surfaces creating a heat island effect. Alternative parking arrangements shall be explored including basement footprints under other proposed development and the freed-up spaces be put to judicious use including open landscaped permeable green spaces etc.

j) All requisite parking provisions are to be as per applicable norms/regulations/guidelines etc.

k) The mechanism for air conditioning needs to be detailed i.e., location, areas of inflow/outflow in indoor areas and the appropriate treatments used to conceal/screen the air-conditioning system. Also, it shall be ensured that there is no leakage from the AC unit causing deterioration of spaces (indoor and outdoor).

l) The submitted landscape plan lacks clarity in explaining the landscape scheme. The sites’ landscaping is to be improved with appropriate treatment (Hardscape & Softscape). They shall be submitted in the respective drawings and shall indicate the details of the trees planted, existing trees, levels, and types of species on an appropriate scale, (in terms of point nos. Six of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval)) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

m) A lot of waste (dry & wet waste, food items, etc.) is supposed to be generated in the complex, and a detailed solid waste management plan proposal along with its location on the site plan be submitted.

n) Provisions be made for public toilets/washrooms as per prevailing norms/regulations/guidelines of the Unified Building Bye-laws for Delhi-2016 along with their detailed drawings (including screening mechanism, elevations, sections, 3D views etc.) as it has a bearing on the overall visual, urban, and aesthetic quality of the complex.

p) Sustainability features shall be as per point no. 7 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.

q) All plumbing pipes, service equipment, outdoor air-conditioner units, DG set, DG exhaust pipes, solar panels etc. should be camouflaged appropriately in terms of point nos. 10, 11 &12 of the CPAA (Criterion for Project Assessment and Approval) as available on the DUAC website at www.duac.org.in.
