109. Site Development
Schemes. –
(1) Where a Master
Plan has been drawn
up under section 108
and such Master Plan
has been approved,
with or without any
modifications by the
Government, no owner
of lands exceeding
such area as may be
specified in this
behalf in the Master
Plan as so approved,
shall develop the
site or erect or re-erect
a building or any
plot of land covered
by the Master Plan,
except in conformity
with the provisions
of a Site Development
Scheme sanctioned
for the area in the
prescribed manner.
(2) Among other matters, a Site Development Scheme may provide
for –
(a) the
division of the site
into plots ;
(b) the
streets, drains and
open spaces to be
provided ;
(c) the
land to be reserved
for public purposes
and to be transferred
to the Corporation ;
(d) the
land to be acquired
by the Corporation
;
(e) the
price of plots ;
(f) the
works that shall be
executed at the cost
of the owner or owners
of the site or sites
; and
(g) the
period during which
the area shall be
developed.
110. Execution of
Site Development Schemes. – (1) The execution
of a Site Development
Scheme shall be subject
to the inspection
and control of the
Corporation, and the
Corporation may give
such directions with
regard to the execution
of the Scheme as may
be necessary for the
proper development
of site.
(2) If any area is developed or otherwise dealt with in contravention
of the provisions
of the sanctioned
Site Development Scheme,
the Corporation may
by notice require
the owner of such
area or the person
who has contravened
the provisions to
make such alteration
in the site as may
be specified in the
notice and where such
alteration is not
made or for any reason
cannot be carried
out, the Corporation
may, in the prescribed
manner, require and
enforce the demolition
of the offending structure,
and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary
contained in any law,
no compensation shall
be payable for such
demolition.
(3) If an area for which a Site Development Scheme has been
sanctioned is not
developed within the
period provided in
the Site Development
Scheme, and further
extension is not allowed
by the Corporation,
or if the development
is not in conformity
with the terms of
the Site Development
Scheme, the Corporation
may, in the prescribed
manner, take over
the development of
the site and execute
the necessary works,
and the cost incurred
thereon by the Corporation
shall be deemed to
be a tax levied on
the owner or owners
under this Ordinance.
