Diagram 2 – proposed land use in Pocket A

The land under bungalows is re-allocated to reduce the average plot size to 2000 sq.m. All plots are retained along the main roads whose character stays unchanged, while the land released is consolidated within the plotted periphery and around the common service area. The bungalow on the roundabout is maintained in its original state but converted to institutional use. The breakdown of proposed land use is as follows:-

Number of bungalows

62

Area under bungalows

135006 sq.m. (49.4%)

Area under institutional use

1) Indira Gandhi Memorial

31350 sq.m.

2) Police Station

5500 sq.m.

3) Roundabout bungalow

9360 sq.m.

-------------------

Total

46210 sq.m. (16.9%)

-------------------

Area for common use

78722 sq.m. (28.78%)

This area of 7.87 Hectares is large enough to be comprehensively redesigned for more appropriate purpose. It may be useful to note that the total area of Rabindra Nagar, which has 120 dwellings for government officials, is 9.6 Ha.
