vision for development and related spatial perspective for integrated
development in the area without compromising on its ecology and natural
environment. While providing this framework for development which
encompasses the economic, social and environmental opportunities and
constraints of the area, a Regional plan in today’s context, provides for the
dovetailing of the bottom - up and top – down planning tools through a
series of implementable plans prepared in a participatory manner.

5 The Latur Regional Plan

In the context of national and state level planning policy and as per the
MRTP Act, the broad aims of the Latur regional plan were -

To make provision for the balanced development of the entire Region,

Optimum utilisation of available natural and man-made resources, to
regulate /control / promote the planned development in peri-urban and the
fringe areas/rural areas on proper lines, to study the remedial measures
required to improve the necessary infrastructure amenities and facilities,
suggest measures for pollution control, to make available enough housing
stock by making adequate provision for residential zone/ road connectivity,
provision for civic amenities and facilities in rural areas etc., to suggest
necessary measures to improve the standard of living and enhancement in
the quality of life, to improve the per capita income of all the citizens in the
region .

With these broad aims the following were the main objectives of Latur
Regional Plan

1) To study the existing settlement pattern and identify the growth centre’s
at appropriate locations, so that the financial investment for development of
public utility services and amenities is more beneficially utilised. To study
the potential settlements, in order to facilitate their up-gradation as central
villages, rural growth centre’s, urban growth centre’s, to achieve better
provision of facilities and services (urbanisation and planned settlements) in
the district /region. To help achieve planned rural area development, by
preparing individual detailed zone plans for peri-urban areas /growth centre
plans, and through application of development control and promotion
regulations.
2) To reduce the over reliance of major segment of population on the
agriculture and to increase their participation in activities allied to
agriculture, secondary and tertiary activities which would gradually lead to
overall improvement in the life in rural areas and alleviate poverty and add
to increase in per capita income.

8
To achieve integrated /balanced urban and rural development by creation of
more gainful job employment opportunities in rural areas, through zone plan
provisions and development control and promotion regulations and
control/minimize out migration from rural areas.

3) To study the available resources, natural and man-made, extent of present

utilisation, future potential and constraints if any for non-utilisation and to
study how the problems and various deficiencies in this region can be

6 Latur City

Latur, the headquarters of the Latur district, is an ancient town. It is situated

on the eastern end of the region between the Manjra and Tawarja valleys and
is thus surrounded on the north and the east by the very fertile valley of the
Manjra River; and on the south by that of river Tawarja. Latur is an ancient
settlement and the original home of the “Rattas” or the “Rashtrakutas”. The
Rashtrakuta King Amoghavarsa – I is described as the Lord of Lattalura.
Rashtrakutas were famous in trade and commerce.

The Barshi‐Latur road was constructed in 1898 and, helped in acceleration

of trade and commerce. The construction of Miraj‐Latur narrow‐gauge
railway line during 1911 had removed the deficiency of transport linkage
required for proper development of business center. By this time, there were
five factories in the town. Thus, a real trend of urbanization of Latur town
started from 1911. The raja Indrakarna of Gulbarga inaugurated the “Azam
Gang” market place in 1917. This market place is well planned and well
established and now locally known as “Ganj Golai” as its shape is circular
one. Besides there are many places on the outskirts of the city having
religious importance. The two famous “Shaktipithas” named as Tuljabhavani
temple located in Osmanabad District and second one is Jogeshwari temple
situated at Ambejogai in Beed District and, one “Jyotirlingas” namely
Parli‐Vaijnath, are about 45‐55 miles from this place. “The Ramling
Temple” is situated on Latur‐Pune road near Yedshi Railway Station. These
temples are famous for its ancient sculpture.

The total area of Latur Municipal Council jurisdiction is 3,255.95 Ha. and
the total population, as per 2001 census, is 3,82,754. The development plan
of Latur was sanctioned under the provisions of Maharashtra Regional &
Town Planning Act, 1966.

 CHAPTER III- LATUR FRINGE AREA (LFA)

7 Latur Fringe Area (LFA) - Geography

Latur is located at 18.23° N 76.36° E. It has an average elevation of 63 meter

(2070 feet). The LFA is surrounded by river basin, at northern and eastern
side by the Manjra river basin and at south by the Tavaraja River basin
whereas at west by airport and village boundaries.

Climate-

The winter season commence by the end of November when night

temperature decreases rapidly. December is generally the coldest month with
the mean daily maximum temperature at about 29.5 ˚C and the mean daily
minimum temperature at about 15˚C. On some occasions the minimum
temperature drops down to 4 or 5˚C due t western disturbances. May is
generally the hottest month with temperature at 40˚C and mean daily
minimum temperature 27˚C, in summer humidity is less than 25%.
The normal annual rainfall over the district varies from 650 to 800 mm and
it increases from southwest to northeast. The average annual rainfall for
2008-11 is about 761 mm.
The average annual rainfall of the district ranges between 750 mm to 800 m
m. The district often experiences low rainfall as 400 mm. to 450 mm.

Topography & Landscape

Latur LFA is situated at 540 to 638 mts above M.S.L. It is developed on the
high plateau which runs along the Nanded ‐ Barshi and Ausa road. The
surrounding area is somewhat low level having good agriculture productivity
land. The district forms a part of Godavari basin. Manjra river, a tributary of
Godavari river flowing south-easterly is the major river in the district.
Tawarje is the main easterly flowing tributaries of Manjara river.

13
Character of Latur fringe area.

Looking at the delineated LFA area, the entire area appears to be divided
into two parts, mainly northern area and the southern area separated by
Barshi‐Nanded Road. The natural streams and the water bodies on the
northern side of this road are leading to Manjara river due to natural slope.
Similarly, the area on the southern side of Barshi‐Nanded Road, the natural
water bodies and streams falling in this particular area are leading towards
Tawarja River. In both the cases, there are some existing water bodies,

Due to strategic location of Latur city with its industries, Education,

Agricultural facilities it has experienced rapid growth and due to increased
pressure on land within municipal council area and also due to higher cost of
land within LMC the development is now taking place in the surrounding
areas of Latur Municipal Council i.e., fringe area. This fringe area has
already witnessed haphazard, sporadic type of development which calls for
total comprehensive Growth Centre plan for proper provision of all physical
& social infrastructures.

In this fringe area, development trend is observed in immediate adjoining

areas of Latur Municipal Corporation boundary and around gaothans of
outskirt villages. It also observed along major roads & the land between two
MIDC areas. In this area, general trend is that, the developers take
permission for N.A. layouts and sell to the individual buyers the plots
without developing any infrastructure. The individual plot‐holders develop
bungalows/house for self-use on such plots. These layouts approved by
erstwhile planning authority i.e. Collector & the developments carried out by
individuals authorized/unauthorized are also incorporated in the plan while
preparing ELU.
The details of the LATUR FRINGE AREA are as follows:‐
• Total no. of villages : 40 (Including 6 part villages)
• Total Area : 273.33 sq.km. ( 27,333 Hectare)
• Total Population of LFA : 1,17,071 Souls
• Additional MIDC area : 1071.00 Ha.

14
 8 Population

The total population of LFA, as per 2011 census is 1,17,071 souls. The
majority of the population of LFA resides in few villages as follows: Arvi,
Babhalgaon, Gangapur, Harangul Br, Maharana Pratap Nagar,
Pakharsangavi and varies from 6000 to 9000 souls & other villages are
having less population.

The demographic characteristic of the region shows that the population

below age group of 6 years is 13.30 % and male female ratio per 1000 male
is 884. The population distribution in the region shows that the population
density of the region is at 4 persons per Hectare.
The Occupational pattern of the region shows that the total percentage of
worker to the total population is 41.27 % and percentage of main workers to
the total population is 39.71%.

 CHAPTER VI- EXISTING LAND USE (ELU)

14 Preparation of Existing Land Use Map (ELU)

The preparation of Existing Land Use (ELU) was entrusted to private

surveyor. The ELU map for LFA was prepared with the help of new age
technology by using,

i) Satellite imageries and web-based mapping services like the Google

Earth for site features and structures,

ii) Village maps of all 40 villages

iii) Sanctioned layouts obtained from town planning department,

iv) The projects plans obtained from various Government departments like,
Road Development Scheme, Irrigation dams and canals map, MIDC
plan

v) Information obtained through Site visits in the notified area

15 Existing land Use:

The major land use observed in the planning area is agriculture. The
residential development is concentrated within and around the gaothan
settlements and adjoining to Latur Municipal Corporation limit.

MIDC has developed two industrial estates in LMC and Fringe area. One is
on the Latur ‐ Barshi highway located within the city limits and the other is
the ' Additional Latur MIDC' located about eight km away from the city in
LFA. For the second estate of MIDC i.e. the Additional Latur MIDC area
having 1071.00 hectares is located in LFA, of which 250 hectares has been
developed in the first phase. Both these MIDC locations will generate jobs in
LMC as well as in LFA. The area of MIDC will not be counted in notified

31
area for LFA for the reason that the MIDC itself is a SPA. Adjoining to
MIDC, there is an existing industrial user of Manjra Sahakari Sugar.
The following table shows the breakup of existing land use of LFA area.

 CHAPTER VII- PLANNING PROPOSALS

16 OBJECTIVES:-

The Latur Fringe Area (LFA) is expected to have a growth in the near future
due to trade & industrial activities in Latur city, development of Latur as
Educational hub, large transport network. Also Indian Railways decided to
set up a metro and rail coach manufacturing facility in Latur in Maharashtra.
The project will entail investment of more than Rs 1,500 crore. The facility
will cater to the demands of metro coaches in cities across India along with
the captive demand from Indian Railways. The Growth Centre Plan
therefore needs to visualize the impacts and plan for the sustainable
development. Considering the future growth potential the objectives of the
plan are set as follows

1. To achieve planned urban development.

2. To expect deliverance of optimum physical and social infrastructure
both through private and public/ local bodies.
3. To protect and expand the existing settlements (Gaothan).
4. To accommodate spillover of adjacent area developments and keep
harmony in the regional development.
5. To preserve existing water bodies and to balance the development
around it. to conserve and protect the region’s ecologically sensitive
areas, natural corridors, prime agricultural lands along and adjoining
valleys and water bodies in the form of an integrated green network.

17 POPULATION PROJECTION:

Population of planning area is always considered as base for zoning and

distribution of social and physical infrastructural facilities. The total
population of 40 villages in LFA, as per 2011 census, is 1,17,071. The plan

33
period is considered from 2018 to 2038. The various methods by which
projected population is estimated as follows;

 As per the report of sanctioned Latur Development Plan, the forecasted
population at the end of 2011 would about 5, 00,000 souls and at the end of
2021 would be about 8, 00,000 souls. It has been proposed that about
7, 54,000 souls will be accommodated in the eleven planning sectors and the
remaining 46,000 souls ought to be distributed outside the municipal limits.
By considering the decadal growth of about 25%, the migration to the
Growth Centre area would be about 80,000 at the end of 2028 and 1, 25,000
at the end of 2038. The development of Rail Coach Factory and other major
industries in MIDC area will give rise to influx of population and it is
assumed as 20% of total population..

By considering the factors, the projected population is estimated as follows;

1. Year 2028- 3,00,000 souls

2. Year 2038- 4,00,000 souls

18 PLANNING STANDARDS ADOPTED FOR DISTRIBUTION OF

SOCIAL FACILITIES:

A circular of Urban Development department No. TPS-8692 / 1272 /UD-II,

Dated 15.06.1992 has been issued which clearly states that the planning
standards are to be used as an enabling instrument to provide for the required
amenities to the satisfactory level and they are not an end in themselves.

2. Outer Ring Road- 45.0 mt wide

PWD is under process to develop 45.00 mt. wide outer ring road
adjoining to the boundary of LFA by widening the exiting MDR no 58,
59 and by developing missing link. Its alignment and width has been
taken from PWD and marked on the plan accordingly. It connects to
National Highways no NH-63, 361 548B & 752K and bye-passes the
through traffic.

3. Access Roads- 15.0 mt. wide

At local level 15.0 and 12.0 mt wide roads are proposed in the areas of
gaothan expansion and to provide link between major roads.

21 Proposed Land Use Zones

1. Residential Zone-

(a) The agricultural land is bound to come under the pressure for
development due to surrounding development as agriculture is
becoming increasingly non- remunerative. The plan therefore
proposes conversion of various land use as per sanctioned RP into
predominantly Residential Zone.

(b) The trend of growth in LFA is within the periphery of 1- 2 Km.of

Latur Municipal Corporation limit. Also the growth is observed along
major roads and surrounding to MIDC and Latur Railway station. In
the draft Development Plan, published by CIDCO, adjoining area of
Latur Municipal Corporation was proposed in High Density
39
 Development Zone (Residential zone) and major development/layout
approval occurred therein. Therefore the said area is maintained as
residential zone.

(c) Also the area along all major roads and the area surrounding to MIDC
and Latur Railway station is proposed in Residential Zone.

(d) The Govt. of Maharashtra, while sanctioning the Regional Plan of

Latur wide notification dated 2nd January 2018, incorporated special
regulation no (b) regarding policy rule for non-agriculture permission
layout in villages.

b) Policy/ rule proposed for non-agricultural permission/ layout in

villages is replaced as below:
In the Region for villages where no specific residential zone is shown
or the villages outside the zone plan, planning area, residential
development may be permitted within the periphery as per criteria
stated below.

Sr.No. Category of village Development allowed

(population as per last census)
1 Upto 5000 500 mt.
2 Above 5000 and upto 10,000 750 mt.
3 Above 10,000 1000 mt.

Earlier CIDCO had proposed High Density Development Zone

(Residential Zone) within 200 mt. from the Gaothan boundaries and
development permissions were granted accordingly. After the sanction of
Latur Regional Plan, the development is under progress as per above
regulation no (b) in LFA.
Accordingly the residential zone has been proposed for Gaothan
expansions and suitable road network in the form of ring road has been
proposed.

40
2. Industrial Zone.
MIDC has developed two industrial estates in LMC and Fringe area. One
is on the Latur ‐ Barshi highway located within the city limits and the
other is the ' Additional Latur MIDC' located about eight km away from
the city in LFA. For the second estate of MIDC i.e. the Additional Latur
MIDC area having 1083.25 hectares is located in LFA, of which 250
hectares has been developed in the first phase.
Therefore the existing area under Industrial activity and some adjoining
land are proposed in Industrial zone.

3. Open User Zone ( Garden & Play Ground)

(a) Play Ground
As per adopted planning standards, the area required for playground
amenity is 0.2 Ha per 1000 population and accordingly total 60 Ha is
required.
The LFA has been divided into four sectors i.e. 1) North-West area
between Ambejogai Road and Barshi road 2) North-East area between
Ambejogai road and Nanded road 3) South- West area between Ausa
road and Barshi road 4) South-East area between Nanded road and Ausa
road. It is proposed to provide at least 1 taluka level facility of
playground in each sector as follows;
