Appendix M

[Rule 94]

Special Requirements for Low Income Housing Only

General.- (1) The requirements cover the planning and general building requirements of low income housing developed as clusters. The requirements regarding layout planning of low income housing colonies are applicable to Public agencies/Government bodies. The requirements on design and construction of buildings for low' income housing in approved layouts are applicable to public agencies/Government bodies or private builders.

(2) In these planning standards, the general development plan requirements for Community open spaces estimated at 0.2 hectare per thousand person is provided : road areas are worked out between 10 to 25 per cent of the site area : one nursery school of 0.1 hectare is provided for a population of 1500 and shopping centres at 4 shops per thousand population is also covered. It would, therefore, be seen that even for apparently high densities the basic requirements and community facilities are also taken care of.

(3) It is emphasized that this type of development should apply to clusters of 400 dwelling units, so distributed in the development under consideration to maintain the overall densities of the master plan for the area (See Note 1 of table).

Planning. - (1) Type of Development-The type of development for low income housing shall be (i) plotted development for low income housing shall be (i) plotted development as row housing, (ii) flatted the development as row housing, (iii) block development as group housing.

(2) Density. - The maximum density, dwelling units/hectare, shall be as given in the following tables :-

Table

Maximum Densities Low Income Housing

[Clause M-2(2)]

S.No.	Density in Dwelling Units/ha for plinth Area of Unit of No. of		Storeys
S.No.	20 square metres	30 square metres	Storeys
(i)	130	85	1
(ii)	250	170	2
(iii)	300	225	3
(iv)	350	260	4
(v)	400	300	5

Note 1. - These densities are applicable to a cluster of dwellings up to 400 with a family of 5 members.

Note 2. - Vertical incremental housing shall be permitted in single ownership plot.

Note 3. - These densities include provision for open spaces convenient-shopping, nursery, and all internal roads and pathways, but do not include peripheral road around the cluster.

Note 4. - The minimum density shall be 75 per cent of the above.

(3)(i) Size of Plot/Plinth Area. - The minimum plot size shall be as follows, with a coverage not exceeding 75 per cent.

Note 2. - In exceptional cases in metropolitan cities with population more than 1 million, the size of plots may be brought down to 25 square metres in cases of low income house colonies located in congested areas or in areas as decided by the Authority.

(ii) Minimum Frontage. - The minimum frontage of the plot shall be 3.6 metres in width.

Note. - The minimum frontage of 3.6 metres is desirable. For an economical layout, group housing appears to be a good solution. But if plotted development is to be adopted and if there are occasions when sufficient frontage is not available the same may be reduced to 3 metres.

(4) Height of building-The height of building shall not exceed 15 metres.

Note. - For building up to the height of 15 metres, there is no need to provide lifts.
