# Natural micro-climate control mechanisms (tree cover, decreased summer temperatures, and so on)
# Natural control systems for protection against diseases and epidemics
# Agricultural land and food security
In addition to the criteria listed above, the proposed project location should meet the standards
prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB ) and Indian standards (IS) for the following
environment parameters.
# Ambient air, water, and noise quality standards
# Natural-disaster-prone areas
# Ecologically sensitive areas
That shall always guarantee occupant health and comfort in the long run, as well as improved
quality of the spaces created thereof.
Macro
a) The proposed building(s) should be in conformity with the specifically designated use on the
‘development plan’ of the place. This shall help control the level of expenditure required to add
infrastructure to spaces that lack it, or to alter areas that are of a particular usage, to another
usage.
b) In places where the use of buildings or premises is not specifically designated on the development
plan, it should be in conformity with the land-use zones in which they fall (as specified by the
‘master plan’).
c) The proposed building(s) should be in conformity with the ‘development regulations’ of that
area as well.
Figure 5 The image shows how ‘development’ in parts of Delhi is slowly eating into the green cover. The challenge lies
in planning buildings in such a densely developed area while striking a balance with nature.
