Memo No. 7/16/2006-2TCP

Dated:- 19.12.2006

Subject:- Policy for grant of license and change of land use cases.
--

After careful consideration of the matter the Governor of Haryana

is pleased to convey the policy parameters relating to the grant of licence and
permission for change of land use as under :-
1) Competent Authority to grant of licenses:- The licenses shall be
granted/refused by the DTCP with prior internal concurrence of the State
Government at Minister’s Level. The State Government will however, exercise
appellate powers under the Act.
2) Conformity of the Site of the colony to Development Plan/Sector Plan and
minimum area of the colony for grant of license;- The location of the site should
be in conformity with the Development Plan proposals in terms of prescribed land
use. The site should also conform to the Sector Plan. In order to achieve the
objectives of the Act No. 8 of 1975 and to regulate the development of urbanized
sector in an harmonious manner, the following minimum area norms for different
zones for granting licences outside the Municipal Council limits of town and
outside Municipal Corporation limits of Faridabad are hereby laid down as under: -

Industrial – No minimum area norms has been fixed.
3) Reservation of area for group housing:- In a particular sector the area
under group housing should not exceed 20% of the sector area.
4) Licences to Cooperative Housing Societies:- Whereas, the Government had
discontinued the issuance of licence to Cooperative Housing Societies in High and
Medium Potential Zones due to the unhappy experience, the licences to such
Societies in Low Potential Zones were being considered. After careful
consideration it has been decided to discontinue this policy and not to grant
licences to the Cooperative Housing Societies even in Low Potential Zones. Such
Societies will however, be allotted developed land by HUDA for construction of
Group Housing projects.
5) Land Acquisition and Licensing:- Where applicants/land owners have
applied for license before the issue of acquisition notification under section 4 of
the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, release of land could be considered on individual
merits of each case.
6) Development of Pockets:- Approach should be based on sectoral
development. Wherever, small pockets are left out within a licensed area or on
the fringes of a colony which the colonizer is not able to acquire through
negotiation such pockets may be acquired by HUDA in the interest of planned and
harmonious development. In case, HUDA is in a position and willing to undertake
development on its own then these pockets should be development by HUDA
otherwise in the interest of compact development of the colony, the pockets
should be allowed to be developed by the colonizer. However, such area shall not
be more than 10% of the licensed area.
7) Change of land use:- The change of land use (CLU) applications will be
considered in conformity with the land use proposals of the Development Plans
and in accordance with the zoning regulations and disposed off at the level of
Director, Town and Country Planning where the Development Plans are published.
However, where the Development Plans are not published decision shall be taken
at the level of Government. All the cases of grant of CLU for Petrol Pumps will be
referred to the Government for approval.
