Additional Regulation for Ratnagiri in UDCPR 2020

Mar 20, 2024

UDCPR has a Unified rule, which means that instead of having numerous regulations for every city/region in the state, it is better to have a single rule for all cities in Maharashtra.

But due to some geological conditions or some other restrictions the regulations may vary a bit for some regions in Maharastra.

For Example, the Coastal Region, Hilly Region, Densely Populated Region, and Gaothan can't have same type of rules, and the rules differ according to it.

UDCPR 2020 Chapter 5 is all about Additional Provisions for Regional Plan Areas.

This is Applicable to all Planning Authorities and Regional Plan Areas except the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, Other Planning Authorities/Special Planning Authorities/ Development Authorities within the limit of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, MIDC, NAINA, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, Hill Station Municipal Councils, Eco-sensitive/Eco-fragile region notified by MoEF & CC and Lonavala Municipal Council, in Maharashtra.
