Primary shared factors and corresponding information requirements

Sl. No.	Factor	Description	Information requirement	Units	Examples
P1	Setback Requirements	Ensures safe distance between the building and the road, typically regulated by local zoning laws	Property boundary maps and land parcel details for visibility and safety compliance	Metres	Minimum setback of 3 m from property boundary to road for safety
			Zoning laws and local setback regulations ensuring clearances for visibility at junctions and intersections.	Textual regulations	Zoning laws specifying front setback requirements for residential zones
			Survey data showing distances to nearby roads for safe building placement	GIS Coordinates, Metres	Survey map showing adjacent roads and building footprint distances
P2	Access Points	Specifies the entry and exit points for vehicles onto the property, ensuring safe and efficient traffic	Specific permits for site entry and exit points connecting roads and buildings	Permit Number, Coordinates	Permit to connect a driveway to a state highway
			Geographical connection details to align access points with surrounding transport infrastructure	GIS Coordinates	Access point aligned with a planned junction at 35.671°N, 139.765°E
			Plans for junctions and road intersections, ensuring smooth connectivity for traffic	Intersection Layouts, CAD Drawings	CAD drawings of junctions showing turning lanes and signal locations
			Traffic impact analysis for vehicle ingress/egress	Vehicle count/hour	Report showing peak-hour traffic counts entering/exiting (e.g. 200 vehicles/hour)
			Compliance with accessibility guide-lines for pedestrians and vehicles	Compliance Checklist	Checklist meeting ADA or equivalent standards (e.g. Ramps for disabled access)
P3	Roadway Capacity	Assesses the building's impact on road capacity, considering traffic flow and congestion	Traffic volume studies that consider the impact of large public/commercial buildings or residential societies	Vehicles/hour, PCU	Peak traffic volume of 1,500 vehicles/hour during commercial building operating hours
P4	Emergency Access and Fire Safety Measures	Provides clear access routes for emergency vehicles to the building in case of emergencies	Fire safety compliance points (e.g. hydrants, sprinklers) for emergency ac- cess near buildings and roads	Distance (m), Coverage Area (m²)	Hydrant located within 30 m of building entrances
			Dimensions and layouts of emergency access routes linking buildings and roads	Metres	Access route width of 6 m for fire trucks (e.g. Fire lane along the north side)
			Turning radius for emergency vehicles accessing both buildings and roads	Metres	Turning radius of 12 m for fire trucks (e.g. Roundabout designed for emergency vehicle turning)
P5	Drainage Plan	Outlines measures to prevent flooding, erosion, and water pollution, ensuring compliance with regulations	Location of drainage systems and their integration with roads and surrounding areas	Metres, Slope (%)	Site layout showing drainage channels with a 2% slope leading to the main stormwater system
P5	Drainage Plan		Capacity and design of drainage structures to handle road and building runoff	Cubic Metres (m³/s)	Drainage designed to handle a peak flow of 0.5 m³/s during heavy rainfall
P6	Utility Connections	Specifies connections to water, electricity, gas, etc., ensuring access to essential services	Location of utility connections for shared use by roads and buildings	GIS Coordinates	Connection points for water and electricity shared between a road junction and nearby buildings
P6	Utility Connections		Capacity of utility lines to support combined road and building demands	Kilowatts (kW), Litres/day	Electricity supply of 150 kW and water supply of 10,000 litres/day for a mixed- use development
