Development Control Regulations are accompanying guidelines to an area plan published and ready for enforcement. The rules project within limits set on what it expects of the place to grow into as a result of several interventions positioned. The contents are a transcription to the first city guidelines of ‘67. A prequel to the more elaborate present guidelines in force of '91 (UDRI/ KRVIA project component) these exercises of exrapolating contents for these documents are notes towards a simplification process that envisions guidelines of use and development for a place. Some working questions are on how these city guidelines tally when compared with the national standards as given in the Model Building Bye Laws? and what differences are or for that matter customisation are to be performed based on site and plan specific implications? The issues that bring about discussions in land regulations are subject to the modifications they are brought under to facilitate different conditions that are shown as overlooked during the main planning processes. To this is to note is that which sections of the regulatory structure needs to be consolidated in checking undue revisions and edits to the original edition so as to retain to a degree the laid out vision of the development plan that the regulations are meant to guide?
