schemes.which will not be sub-divided into the customary streets and plots, will be governed by
good design standards to ensure open spaces and community facilities$ The intensity of use and
the net density in these are intended to be higher than that stipulated in the plan, provided the
average gross residential density of the area under development of which the group housing is a
part, is in accordance with the density reAuirement of the plan$ Also, no limits on the number of
floors is stipulated e'cept those that may be imposed in areas neaar monuments, Airports etc$
Access to dwellings could be provided by wal? way and pedestrian paths and their width would
