Zone 2 – This zone is comprised of non-contiguous urban areas that have proposed detailed plans for roads and various urban uses.
Zone 3 – The proposed Land Use Plan identifies the remaining urban centers, as well as the areas around them, and classifies them as Residential Land Use Zones. These zones are intended to provide a variety of land uses, such as housing, retail, and office space.
Zone 4 – This zone in the proposed plan includes Gramkantham village and the existing rural built-up area. An additional 300-meter-wide belt outside the Gramkhantam boundary is also included in this zone in order to accommodate the natural expansion of Settlements.
2. Peri-urban use zone – Peri-urban zones are designated areas surrounding residential zones 1 and 2 in the proposed Metropolitan Development Plan.
