TDR for Ecological Sensitive Areas


Case Study for ecological reasons: Vermont
Transfer of development rights (TDR) is a zoning tool that was created
specifically to enable municipalities to protect natural resources and open space
TDR programs allow a municipality to identify areas that it wishes to preserve for
conservation and areas where it would like to encourage development.
Development rights must be purchased through a conservation easement or
deed. A development rights agreement can include density bonuses as an
incentive to conserve a natural resource. Density bonuses allow higher density
development in areas that are not deemed environmentally sensitive, in return
for conserving those areas that are sensitive.
Case Study for absolute numbers: Mumbai

Incentive Zoning
The Wetlands Reserve Program is a financial incentive program to restore and
protect wetlands on private agricultural property. Landowners receive financial
incentives to enhance wetlands in exchange for voluntarily retiring marginal
agricultural land. The benefits to landowners include receipt of financial
compensation, enhancement of wetlands values that benefit the landowner and
society, reduction of problems associated with farming potentially difficult areas,
and the opportunity to practice conservation stewardship and provide
recreational opportunities. Interested landowners may sell a conservation
easement or enter into a cost share restoration agreement with USDA to restore
and protect wetlands. Their voluntary participation in this program allows
landowners to continue to control access to their land.

Guidelines for Redevelopment Schemes - MPD 2021

The basic objective of redevelopment is to upgrade the area by


implementing specific schemes on the basis of existing physical and socioeconomic conditions in the following way:
i. Influence Zone along MRTS Corridor and the Sub-Zones for
redevelopment and renewal should be identified on the basis of
physical features such as metro, roads, drains, high tension lines
and control zones of Monuments / Heritage areas, etc.
ii.
The residents / cooperative societies / private developers should get
the layout and services plan prepared in consultation with the
concerned authority for approval.
Within the overall Redevelopment / Regularisation plans, building
plan approval shall be at following two stages:
o Planning Permission for an area of around 4 Ha. This
permission may not be required in case an approved layout /
Redevelopment / Regularisation plan exists.
Cluster Block for a minimum area of 3000 sq.m. The
owners should pool together and reorganise their
individual properties so as to provide minimum 30% of
area as common green / soft parking besides circulation
areas and common facilities.
Individual buildings shall be given sanction by the
concerned authority within the framework of cluster
block approval.
o The norms of Group Housing with respect to ground coverage,
basement, parking, setbacks etc. (except FAR) shall be
applicable.
Amalgamation and reconstitution of the plots for planning purpose
will be permitted.
To incentivise the redevelopment a maximum overall FAR of 50%
over and above the existing permissible FAR on individual plots
subject to a maximum of 400 shall be permissible. Higher FAR shall
however not be permissible in redevelopment of Lutyens Bungalow
Zone, Civil Lines Bungalows Area and Monument regulated Zone.
