What is TP scheme?

If you are curious about “What is town planning scheme?” Let me tell you that the Town Planning Scheme (TP Scheme) is a critical tool in urban development.

What is a Town Planning Scheme?

Now that you know the Town Planning Scheme, which is the TP scheme full form aims to bring structure, order, and strategic growth to rapidly expanding urban regions. 

Here’s how it works:

1. Data Collation: The TP scheme gathers information related to land under different ownerships.

2. Redistribution: After carefully marking out land for open spaces, social infrastructure, services, housing for economically weaker sections, and road networks, the TP scheme redistributes the property.

I hope this helps!

Due to rapid urbanization and growing population, land is becoming scarce. Or at least it seems if the town planning is not up to the mark. But thankfully, India has some of the best architecture and town planning in the whole world (you can’t argue with the likes of Chandigarh, can you?). Anyway, since I am talking about it, you must be curious to know what is town planning scheme or as it is known popularly TP scheme? I am here to explain some facts about it. Find them below.

The TP scheme is basically collating the data related to land under different ownerships and redistributing the property after carefully marking out land for open spaces, social infrastructure, services, housing for economically weaker sections and road networks. 

Now you must be wondering where exactly is the Town planning scheme implemented? Let me tell you, TP scheme is applicable for the planning and designing of greenfield projects or partially developed areas, which are usually new towns. It works towards infrastructural development by consolidating land, such as roads and public parks and revitalizing downtown areas.

The town planning procedure is broadly divided into three major schemes:

Here the TP scheme’s intent, survey of area and boundary delineation is done. Once that is done the drafting committee holds meetings to invite any consultations, objections and public participation at least twice. The draft is then sent to the state government for approval.

Next physical and spatial plans are made. Laying out of roads, plots and infrastructure begins, simultaneously personal hearings are held for affected land owners. The final decisions are made by TPO and submission of physical planning is done to the state government within 2 months.

: Finally, tabulation of cost of infrastructure, betterment charges and compensations is done. The final decision of TPO on fiscal planning is done and the final scheme is submitted to the state government for sanctioning within 3 months.

This was all about town planning scheme or TP scheme. I hope you have a fair idea now.
