ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT OF TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 2014-15 (01.04.2014 to 31.03.2015) 1.0 BACKGROUND

The Town and Country Planning Department was created as a small cell of the H.P. Public Works Department in the year 1964 and the same continued up to 1979. During the year 1979, an independent Directorate was created but charge of the Director continued to be held by the Engineer-in-Chief (B&R) or the Chief Engineer of H.P. Public Works Department, till 1993, when an independent Director was appointed as Head of the Department.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

Town and Country Planning is a social transformation development process to ensure creation of functionally workable, economically viable, socially acceptable, environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing living environment for humanity in both, rural and urban habitats, through optimum, just and balanced use of scarce land resources in view of demographic, socio-economic, techno-legal dynamics, which is foremost necessity of the day.

Town and Country Planning ensures planned, systematic, sustainable development of urban and rural habitations and is a prerequisite for all modern development schemes. Development Plans, Sectoral Plans and Town Planning Schemes go a long way in catering to civic and other urban services infrastructure, transportation and other requirements that ensure dynamism and a healthy living environment for humanity.

3.0 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENT

Himachal Pradesh, being a hilly State, is endowed with rich eco-system and cultural heritage. Although, there is a low level of urbanization in the State, yet during recent years urbanization has been exerting high pressure on scarce urban land resources. There are 59 small and medium census towns in the State, with only Shimla as Class-I city. As per 2011 census, urban population of the State in these urban areas was 6,88,552 persons, which is about 10.03% of the total population of the State. Due to various development priorities of the Government activities and opening of new areas, a large number of new growth centers are coming up very fast. The pressure on land in the State has increased manifold, leading to haphazard and un-planned construction activities in towns, growth centers and their surrounding areas. With a view to manage and regulate this increasing trend in urbanization and to check the un-authorized construction activities, the Government of Himachal Pradesh had enacted Himachal Pradesh Town & Country Planning Act, 1977 and made it applicable to all major towns of the State.

9.0 THE HIMACHAL PRADESH APARTMENT AND PROPERTY REGULATION ACT, 2005

In view of the changed housing demand scenario, the Government of Himachal Pradesh enacted the Himachal Pradesh Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 2005 and Rules there under in the Department of Housing, to regulate development of colonies and apartments as well as transaction of built properties. The custodianship of this Act was given to HIMUDA by notifying C.E.O- cum-Secretary as Competent Authority to exercise and perform all or any of the powers and functions of the Competent Authority under the Act ibid. However, of late it was felt that assignment of regulatory process under Act ibid to HIMUDA, which itself is a promoter, is not appropriate. Therefore, in addition to normal duties and responsibilities of the Director, Town & Country Planning under the H.P. Town & Country Planning Act, 1977, the statutory duties and responsibilities as envisaged in the Himachal Pradesh Apartment & Property Regulation Act, 2005 of the Competent Authority have been assigned by declaring the Director, Town and Country Planning as Competent Authority vide notification No. HSG-A (3)-I-3/2010 dated 22.11.2010 of the Principal Secretary (Housing) to the Government of Himachal Pradesh. In view of above, the Department has assumed this new assignment by taking over complete record thereof from HIMUDA. The following statutory functions are being performed by the Department:-

1. Registration & Licensing of Promoters/Estate Agents. 2. To watch the interests of buyers by way of exercising check on sale agreements

between promoters & buyers. 3. To inspect & audit accounts of Promoters/Estate Agents. 4. To ensure provisioning of amenities by the Promoters till transfer of area to local

Bodies. 5. To issue completion and occupation certificates. 6. To ensure proper documentation & enforcement on Registration of Conveyance

by the Promoters. 7. To inspect working of Promoters and Estate Agents for ensuring compliance of

provisions of the Act ibid and rules made there under. 8. To publish annually in the Official Gazette the Report of the activities financed

from the Development Fund and the statement of Accounts. 9. To take cognizance of offences by persons or Promoters or Estate Agents and

initiate penal action.

Thereafter, the H.P. Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 2005 has been repealed and its provisions incorporated in the H.P. Town & Country Planning Act, 1977 vide Government Notification dated 21.09.2013 and Rules framed thereunder notified on 01.12.2014. The detail of the Registration as well as license cases issued under above Acts w.e.f. 01.04.2014 to 31.03.2015 is as under:-
