Gurgaon, the pivot of commercial
surge in the state of Haryana has been growing at an unprecedented pace since a
decade now. Real estate sector has simultaneously throve and cashed upon the
raising demand of residential units due to the immigration of working
population. So hence forth, accommodation of this professional sector has
turned Gurgaon into a forest of concrete. From commercial to residential and
mixed land use pockets have been jam-packed with commercial turrets and
condominiums.
Gurgaon lodging farmhouses in
today’s world sounds inconceivable but it is quite near to be a reality. The
state government has decisively planned to formulate the policy for a farmhouse
colony in Gurgaon. A 100
acres are supposed to be demarcated to habilitize this
colony with each farmhouse to be of a size of 1 to 2.5 acres . The township
is envisioned to accommodate about 20-30 farmhouses which will be a role model
in today’s polluted and clogged commercial/satellite agglomerations. In true sense of the notion ‘planned’, this
town ship is projected not be an erratic expansion of green enclosures but
intricately planned and positioned with the essential infrastructure in and
around it. Let’s probe into the provisions of the drafted policy for this
farmhouse colony in Gurgaon.
Bound by 6 feet wall, the
farmhouse colony will be gated. However, no such boundaries will be permitted
inside the colony. Each plot will be segregated with barbed wires and fences. Only
Eco-friendly layouts and structures are planned to be permitted inside this
colony. The government is striving to make sure that this up-coming space of
farmhouses is not used for commercial gains by using it as venues of collective
functions and junctures.
A revamped change of land use
policy has been in demand for a long time by the realty sector and land owners.
Under present provisions, owners of farmland in an agricultural zone can
convert this land into a farmhouse by obtaining permission. However, there are tiresome
hurdles for such endeavor where the individual aspiring to obtain permission
actually becomes a victim of red-tapism. Moreover, even if the permission was granted
swiftly, specific provisions are prohibitive to set up a farmhouse on one’s own
land. The requisite of a minimum of two acre land to set up a farmhouse is a
candid instance of these provisions. Looking at this yet to be ratified
farmhouse policy, such obstacles will be scrubbed and a whole new expanse of real
estate braced with infrastructure is soon to be a reality.
So far no such conversions of
land use have been possible owing to the contentious land use policy and
security concerns in this part of Haryana. However, it is envisaged that this
colony will be founded upon a well-planned infrastructural investment to be securely
sustained for a long time. Equipped with connecting roads, electricity, water
and other exigent amenities, the farmhouse colony will be a gasp of fresh air
around the outskirts of Gurgaon.
