Committee formed for reviewing DAP proposal: minister
The government has formed a committee to work on the proposals of REHAB and BLDA to implement the Detailed Area Plan (DAP) for Dhaka.
LGRD Minister Md Tazul Islam, also the convener of DAP review committee, made the comment after holding a meeting with REHAB and BLDA officials at a city hotel yesterday.
Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB) and Bangladesh Land Developers Association (BLDA) on February 17 gave some proposals to the DAP committee which included not curtailing any benefit given in DAP in 2010 for the planned areas.
The committee will examine and submit their recommendations to the LGRD ministry, said the minister.
He also said the review can be done anytime as it is an ongoing process and they are working to revise the DAP.
On illegal land filling on flood flow zones, the minister said action will be taken against those who will do anything illegally.
On high-rises, he said it is more important to ensure civic facilities in an area before giving permission for construction of high-rises.
BLDA president Ahmed Akbar Sobhan said there were many loopholes in the earlier DAP.
REHAB president Alamgir Shamsul Alamin said they are demanding involvement of major stakeholders like REHAB and BLDA during preparation of DAP or setting up floor area ratio (FAR).
