The current regulations for the new buildings in historical settings being applied in the norms of conservation plans are usually inadequate to bring out
successfully integrated new buildings with the traditional setting due to their standard approaches to the problem.

Within the light of these proposed principles existing new buildings as the latest layer of the settlement are also evaluated and several interventions are brought out.
