1. The DDA forwarded (online) the proposal for consideration by the Commission.
2. The Commission approved the layout and building plans proposal during its meeting on April 21, 1995 and subsequently accepted the NOC for Completion at its meeting held on January 12, 2006.
3. The building plans proposal for additions and alterations (extension of living rooms, bedrooms, addition and extension of balconies) received (online) at the formal stage was scrutinised, the following observations are to be complied with:

a) The proposal has been received for addition/alteration (extension of living rooms, bedrooms, addition and extension of balconies) for group housing complex. The Commission observed that while considering the case for additions/alterations, it did not consider or cover the existing construction at the site. This concerns the proposal for additions/alterations only.

b) The submitted site photographs reveal elements such as pipes, temporary overhead sheds (blue and green), outdoor air conditioning units, and TV dish antennas prominently visible on the façade, adversely affecting its aesthetics. It should be ensured that these elements are either removed or concealed using appropriate screening mechanisms to preserve the visual and urban aesthetics of the façade.

c) The floor plans for Type A, Block A1, and A2 indicate extensions for additions/alterations to the building, where an open-to-sky shaft has been enclosed, obstructing light and ventilation for the adjacent spaces, including the toilet and a room. This results in an unsuitable design solution. The issue should be addressed by exploring improved design options that maintain adequate light and ventilation, ensuring the quality of these spaces is not compromised.

d) It was noted that setback areas designated for the fire tender movement path have been included in ECS calculations to meet parking requirements, which is not permissible. The Commission advises that setback areas or roads intended for fire tender movement must not be considered for ECS calculations. These areas should remain free from vehicular parking at all times to ensure their availability during emergencies. It is recommended to plan peripheral parking such that a 6.00 m wide setback is consistently unobstructed. All parking provisions must comply with applicable norms, guidelines, and regulations. Alternative solutions should be explored to accommodate existing and proposed parking needs without compromising areas designated for pedestrian and vehicular circulation.

e) The Commission observes that the current proposal includes additions and alterations to the existing building, such as extensions to living rooms, bedrooms, and balconies. However, temporary modifications, including balcony coverings and exposed air-conditioners, appears to have been added after the NOC for completion was issued, negatively affecting the façade of the complex. It is advised to prepare a comprehensive revamp scheme for the entire façade, addressing the residents' functional needs while improving its visual appeal and aesthetics. This strategy will help resolve visual inconsistencies between the original and new constructions/additions and discourage future ad-hoc extensions. The proposed design scheme should be submitted to the Commission for review and consideration.

f) The 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.

g) All plumbing pipes, service equipment, water tanks, air-conditioning units, 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.
