Why?
Development in any area has to be congruent with the intentions of the development plan. To achieve this Development control rules are formed and implemented. The Municipal Authorities have to ensure that every development proposal follows the DC rules. Therefore, the information about the development including drawings showing plans sections etc. have to be scrutinized to ascertain the compliance with DC rules. The Architect and the owner are duty-bound to ensure that construction on site is as per the sanctioned drawings.
The drawings made by the Architects must give sufficient information about the proposal so as to allow the Municipal authorities to carry out scrutiny based on DC rules. However, Architects must avoid giving more information than necessary as this may lead to complications later.
