To make the Dharavi redevelopment project more attractive, various incentives, including relaxation in open spaces in front of buildings, have been proposed. The project is termed a Vital Public Purpose Project, aiming to provide flexibility in design while maintaining safety standards. S.V.R. Srinivas, CEO of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), has requested powers to allow such relaxations without charging any premium, provided public health, fire, structural, and safety concerns are not compromised. Currently, the DCPR (Development Control & Promotion Regulations) 2034 mandates a 10ft open space in front of buildings. Srinivas proposes adding a new sub-clause to Regulation 33(10)(A), allowing the relaxation in specific cases where demonstrable hardships occur. The CEO must provide written justification for any reduction in open spaces. This move, however, leaves some ambiguity regarding whether the open space can be fully reduced or merely lessened, potentially allowing buildings to be built closer to roads. The proposal does not involve any premium charges for the relaxations offered.
