KEY SPATIAL CHARACTERISTICS

This section presents key spatial characteristics related to streets and connectivity, land development, and built fabric. The characteristics are presented through maps and related analysis.

1. Street network and connectivity

Chandkheda has a prominent street network, with good regional conectivity through major arterials. Internal street network has emerged due to inorganic built fabric. In few areas, new streets are being laid through TP scheme.

2. Land development

Land characteristics consist of 4 key aspects, which include an assessment of vacant vs developed land, public and private land ownership, land use patterns as well as land parcel sizes.

3. Built fabric

As a developing fringe, Chandkheda has various typologies of built fabric. It majorly consists of detached and semidetached houses. Row houses and apartments are emerging since the past 10-20 years.

Street Network

Chandkheda offers a relatively good regional connectivity through arterial SH41. Denser street network is present in the south-west region.New streets are being laid through TP scheme in the northern periphery.

21.0% area under streets, of which,

03.1% under Arterial roads

03.0% under Sub-Arterial roads

03.9% under Collector streets

11.4% under Local streets

Land Use Patterns

The land use patterns show that residential area is predominant.There are large institutions like ONGC and VGEC to the south. There are commercial activities along SH 41. Recreational spaces account for only 2.1%.

45% area under residential use

29% area under vacant land

11% area under agricltural use

09% area under institutional use

02% area under recreational use

Land Under Public Ownership

Most of the public vacant land is situated in the northern periphery.20% of land comes under public ownership. ONGC, VGEC and GHB are three biggest public land owners.

20% under public ownership, of which,

15% under public built

05% under public vacant

Land Parcel Sizes

The southern area consists of large land parcels which are causing large block sizes. There are smaller land parcels along the transit corridor (SH41) which do not permit and incentivize high-rise development.

75% area under parcel size of <10,000 sq.m

Development Zones As Per Dp 2021

Ahmedabad DP 2021 defines what kind of development will come up in the area through different zones. As we move towards fringe area, FSI and density norms decrease.

50% comes under R1 zone

43% comes under R2 zone

06% comes under R3 zone

01% comes under Gamthal zone

Prevalent Residential Typologies

The residential typology shows highly predominant semidetached typology. Most of the tighter construction took place in the south-west region with highly low-rise builtfabric. High-rise fabric is developing in northern periphery.

45% comes under semi-detached typology

35% comes under row houses

11% comes under detached

09% comes apartments
