a) The Commission observed that the proposal is large campus with existing development in the vicinity. 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 (including aerial views, night-time views etc.) 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. In particular, proximity to Convention Center, Railway Station, Najafgarh drain, Airport, public transport, roads beyond 30m ROW and other facilities and infrastructure facilities should be reflected in a site plan clearly. 

b) The proposal is of great importance and is in proximity to world-class infrastructure; is being developed as a Multi-sports arena. Case studies and best practices of world-class stadiums and sports facilities should be studied and submitted to ensure being adopted.

c) The proposal needs to clearly explain the traffic movement of all users including the general public, media, VIP, players, staff, etc. to ensure it is seamless and does not disrupt pedestrian movement. Also, the transport strategy should be well integrated with the parking provisions in the site (including bus parking), to explain the traffic movement and parking in detail.

i) Details of placement, size, material etc. of the video screens/scoreboard to be provided in the submission.

n) Overall, the project offers potential for more innovation as it is designed to be a world class sports facility for the capital city, and can contribute to add a landmark to the urban fabric of the city, thus it is suggested to prepare a comprehensive design scheme to ensure all components function efficiently.

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