Section 3 in Zoning Regulations within Development Plans
3. Proposals.
- A period of 20 years for the perspective development which is reasonably foreseeable period for the preparation of development plan has been kept in view while formulating the proposals. Based on the assumption, that the growth rate of population during the decade 1971-81 will increase from 3 to 4 per cent per annum and in the subsequent decades from 4 to 5 per cent per annum, the projected population of the town has been taken approximately as 2 lacs by 1991 A.D. and the town has been planned as such.The main barriers for the growth of the town towards west and north are railway line and National Dairy Research Institute respectively, and therefore, the only directions towards which the expansion can be envisaged are south and east. Though the present trend for expansion is towards southern side i.e. along G.T. road towards Delhi but there are constraints for development due to low-lying areas in the vicinity of the town. Therefore, the major proposed development has been considered on the eastern side on either side of the G.T. Road, bye-pass. In addition some suitable areas in between G.T. Road and Railway line has also been proposed for urbanisation. For the first phase, i.e. during the decade 1971-81, the proposed development has been envisaged up to the present bye-pass along with a part of industrial area zoned towards south (between the railway line and G.T. road) of the existing town. During the second phase (1981-91) the development has been envisaged on the south and east of the bye-pass as such a belt of the approximately 1 mile depth has been earmarked for expansion. The development of the remaining industrial area is also envisaged to be taken up during this period.To keep harmony in the overall development, the proposed development is envisaged in the form of extension of the existing town. Due to the strategic position of the area between railway line and the G.T. Road and keeping in view the wind direction and the existing infrastructure, the area has been zoned for industrial development and industrial labour housing etc. The low- lying area between the existing town and the proposed industrial complex has been reserved for a town park which will also act as a buffer between the existing town and the proposed industrial area.A ring road skirting the proposed development in the south-east and the existing town in the west have been proposed along the railway line to its east. Its remaining portion passes through the agricultural belt to the north. The major road system is a combination of spider web and grid iron pattern. It is proposed to develop Karnal as a medium density town with an over all density of 100 persons per hectare and, therefore, an area of approximately 2,208 hectares (including the area within the municipal limits) has been proposed for urbanisation.The major land use proposals shown in the Development Plan are in respect of the Controlled Area. The proposals within the municipal limits have been shown for integrated and co-ordinated development of the town. The extent of major land use proposals up to 1991 A.D. are given as under :-| Land use | Area within ControlledArea in Hectares | Area within Municipallimits in Hectares | Total area in Hectares |
