The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued a formal notice after identifying significant discrepancies in the approved layout plan of Bahria Enclave-I Housing Scheme located in Zone-IV, Islamabad.
The housing project, sponsored by M/s Bahria Town (Pvt.) Ltd., was originally approved on December 29, 2020, covering 12,543.11 kanals and comprising 8,828 residential plots. According to the authority’s notification, serious inconsistencies have emerged between official layout plans, particularly concerning parks, playgrounds, and designated green areas.
CDA officials discovered that two separate Layout Plans (LOPs) of the scheme were recorded within the Regional Planning Directorate, both showing noticeable variations. The existence of dual plans has raised regulatory concerns, especially regarding inaccurate calculations of mandatory public amenities.
The authority noted a shortfall exceeding 200 kanals in approved parks and green spaces, triggering concerns about environmental compliance and the long-term impact on residents.
Following the findings, the CDA has directed M/s Bahria Town to submit clarification along with the original CDA-approved layout plan, the scheme’s AutoCAD files, and a detailed explanation addressing the discrepancies in planning calculations.
A meeting has been scheduled for April 6, 2026, at 9:00 AM, where representatives of Bahria Town, including the consultant town planner, have been instructed to appear before CDA officials and present the required documentation.
The notice warns that unresolved discrepancies may carry serious legal and regulatory consequences for the ongoing development of the housing scheme, potentially leading to project delays or further scrutiny.
As part of the inquiry, key officials linked to the planning process have also been called. Abdul Haq Brohi, former Director Regional Planning at CDA, has been asked to attend the meeting and provide clarification regarding the approval process.
The outcome of the proceedings is expected to determine the future course of Bahria Enclave-I and could set an important precedent for regulatory enforcement in Islamabad’s urban development sector.
Bughze imran MA ub ja k enko ya sub Yaad aya ha…
Ha! And what about the huge discrepancies in CDA’s own sector Park Enclave which was supposed to be the jewel of Islamabad. It’s nothing but political victimisation of Bahria Town.
How strong is Malik Riaz Mafia that the title of this news item is sufficiently vague. Instead of mentioning name of Bahria Enclave Housing Scheme, your title reads “One of The Famous Housing Societies”. When will you guys pick up the courage to call spade a spade. It is a classical case of yellow journalism.
Equally strange is the fact that the Housing Scheme has two layout plans. All those responsible must be hauled up.
Why the hell is CDA after Bahria when it itself has destroyed the original plan of ISLAMABAD CITY. Only housing scheme that delivered respectable living standards to even the lower class. Which CDA certainly doesn’t cater for. Instead of creating problems and hurdles for the public. Please repair the roads and the basic infrastructure structure of the already existing sectors of islamabad.
