Land use planning, zoning, CLU and development licences

How to find which plan applies, what the zone allows, and whether a change of land use or licence is needed in Haryana.

Planning, zoning & CLU2 min readLast reviewed 12 Oct 2026

Where planning control comes from

Questions to answer, in order

  1. Is the parcel inside a notified controlled area, a municipal area, an estate — or none?
  2. Which final notified development plan applies, and what zone does it give this parcel? (Drafts published for objections are not operative.)
  3. Is the intended use permitted in that zone, and on what conditions?
  4. Does the use need CLU, a licence, an estate permission, or none?
  5. What other consents does the use trigger (fire, pollution, environment, forest, height, heritage)?

The Town & Country Planning Department's website publishes plans, policies and online services. Policies and charges change often: check what is in force on the date you apply.

Who decides

The competent planning authority decides. An architect prepares drawings. UdyogSakha prepares the route note and the application pack and tracks progress — without promising eligibility.
