It include few suggestion that can be introduce in to speed up the process of preparing TPS.

ISSUES

In Gujarat State out of 800 TP, 350 TPS are pending before to state government for final approval.

In Surat, only out of 128 TP Schemes 60 TPS is in Draft Preliminary State and 28 are in Sanction Preliminary State.

The prime issue is the delay in the process of Formulation of Town Planning Schemes and its sanction from State Government.

HISTORY OF TOWN PLANNING ACT

TIME FRAME OF FORMATION PROCESS

CAUSES OF DELAY

LONG-ACTING PERIOD

3 stage process 49 months for sanctioning of TPs No force on the State Government to sanction TP

in definite time period.

LIMITED DATA

Cadastre Data are not updated at regular basis. It takes more than 6 month to collect data. Need Certification from Revenue Department

USING ARCHAIC MAPS

Archaic Maps are so old and not updated. Distortion of data to match with Revenue Data,

in order to get certified. It does not match with current Scenario of land.

MANNER OF REVIEWS OF TPS IS INADEQUATE.

Too Much Centralized Process. State government review both procedural and

planning procedure. State Govt. is reviewing TPS in two stages, each

in Preliminary Stage and at Final Stage.

INADEQUATE PLANNING CAPACITY OF GOVT. AUTHORITIES

Lack of Technical capacity of local government.

Less Staff in Town Planning Department.

1 TPO is handling more than 10 TP scheme

EXPERTS’ VIEW 3 Stage of Preparing TP Scheme is Unnecessary

Main delay occurs between preliminary and Final Town Planning Scheme.

A thought to Review Process, should remain with local authorities, but it will be hard to maintain the system transparent.

Lack of Staff

Private sector capacities have not significantly developed.

Quick implementation will lead to faster growth.

SUGGESTIONS

Enforcement on State Govt.

Limiting the role of the State Government.

Streamlining the land records at State level

Utilizing Private Sector Capacities

SUMMARY

TPS has tremendous potential

Quick Implementation is need of Time.

Modification of Town Planning Act and Policy.

Enhancing & Utilizing Private Sector Capacities .
