Development control regulations are tools for guiding and promoting development in an area in order to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants. Regulations are enforced as part of the planning strategy ‘to conserve and promote public health, safety convenience and general welfare of the people and to provide for the future growth and improvement of the area.’

Development regulations include master plans, zonal plans, detailed development plans, regulations regarding land use, usage of buildings, coverage , Floor Area Ratio, set backs, open spaces, height, number of storey, parking requirements, etc; for various developments on land, and for various categories of buildings.  The building byelaws play a vital role in deciding the extent of development especially in areas, which are not covered by the development plans. A single bye law covering the whole state decides the bulk of development in the entire state.
