Regulation is necessary to ensure planned development
Motive of development control is that any approved plan is
implemented by individual and by corporate or by public
sector developer and thus all new developments should
confirm to the provision of the plan.
Necessity: DCR is must for every growing city because the
area immediately beyond the city limits is often a source of
health hazard to the city and generally under no strict
control of an efficient local authority.

standards in relation to public health, safety and convenience.
