Precinct Development Plan
The plan was a follow up to a workshop on “Planning tools for urban heritage conservation and development of Mysore” held in November 2011. It was convened by Government of Karnataka, Mysore City Corporation (MCC) and IHCNF and was led by Mr. Paul Trouilloud, Architect, and Town Planner, French Ministry of Culture and Mr. Gerard Gasselin, Town Planner, France and part of collaborative activities between ANVPAH and IHCNF. The Plan led to the identification of a heritage conservation area, namely the ‘Devaraja Market Heritage Precinct’ and defining the regulations and guidelines for its conservation and development. The plan prepared by Pierangelo Cacciotti and Paul Trouilloud is addressed towards the local planning authority as additional planning guidance supporting heritage aware decisions on proposed developments, building permits and all private and public works within the Precinct Area.
