Islamabad was divided into five zones according to ICT Zoning Regulation 1992.
Under the regulations, the housing schemes were allowed planning and development in sector E-11 of Zone-I, Zone II and Zone V.
The CDA amended the zoning regulation in 2010 and included Zone-IV, which was further split into four sub-zones, and permitted the Agro Farm Scheme along with other schemes.
Now, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to strictly ask owners of housing societies and schemes to implement the CDA and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Zoning Regulation.
Recently, the civic agency sealed offices of different housing schemes including Ayesha Town, Islamabad Cooperative Housing Scheme, Gulf Residencia, Royal City, Royal Residencia, Dreamland City, Babar Enclave, Ideal Residencia, Rawal Enclave, and Yar Muhammad Society.
CDA officials said that these offices were sealed to discourage the establishment of illegal housing projects.
Currently, the planning and development of private housing schemes in Islamabad are regulated by two directorates of CDA.
However, CDA was unable to plan any action against old housing societies, which have committed glaring violation of layout plans after getting no-objection certificates. In most of the cases, they have turned residential areas into commercial areas.
In some cases, the housing societies in the past, did China cutting, converted playgrounds and parks into commercial centres but the CDA took no action.
