1.3 Zonal boundaries and interpretation
The exact location and specific regulations applicable for a particular zone is to be verified from the Proposed Land Use Zoning Plans.
The zonal boundary is usually a feature such as a road, valley, village boundary, etc and includes the immediate inner edge of the area.
Certain restrictions imposed by competent authorities are to be maintained as "buffers" for various utilities such as power, oil, etc and are marked on the proposed land use plans. The NOC for the same shall be sought, if necessary.
The planning perimeters such as area improvement perimeter, transport and utilities perimeter, etc. shown in RMP2015 refer to indicative areas in the city that need to be dealt with detailed action plans and they serve as mere informative tool on the Plans.
Generally, in case of uncertainty as regards the boundary or interpretation, it shall be referred to the authority for final decision.
