Section 4(b) in Approval of Periphery Policy Report and other Allied Matters
(b)Housing Schemes in the Periphery. - With only limited planned urban areas available in the cities of Chandigarh, S.A.S. Nagar and Panchkula and the growing demand for housing, it was noted that those who could not afford shelter in these urban areas, found place on the fringes of the city, usually in the adjoining settlements/villages, inside or outside the Abadi areas in an unauthorized manner. Considering the above situation, it is proposed that suitable pockets for Housing/Residential use in the Periphery area be earmarked which can be developed by the Private Parties of Government/Semi-Government Agencies. While permitting such development, it must be ensured that adequate provisions are made for public utilities/facilities and services. Special care must be taken to ensure that housing needs of the economically weaker sections are catered for in adequate measure. Detailed policy prescriptions in this respect are at Annexure 'A'.
