The plan was prepared under Karnataka Town and Country Planning (KTCP) Act – 1961 with the assistance of the Department of Town and Country Planning, Government of Karnataka. The Hampi World Heritage Area Management Authority constituted under Hampi World Heritage Area Management Authority Act 2002 shall be a Planning Authority for the Local Planning Area under section 81 D and 81 E of KTCP Act - 1961. The Local Planning Area for ‘Hampi’ has been first declared on 1-12-2004 and has been extended on by including entire revenue villages vide G.O.No Na Aa E 161 Be Ma Pra 2006 dated 4- 1-2007. As per this notification there are only 29 revenue villages within the Local Planning Area. The ‘Heritage Area’ defined under the Hampi World Heritage Area Management Authority Act, 2002 shall be Local Planning Area declared under section 4 (A) of KTCP Act - 1961. The Local Planning Area measures 236.46 Sq km out of which nearly 172 Sq km of area lies to the south of the River and 64 Sq kms of area to the north of the river comprising 29 revenue villages, 14 from Hospet taluka and 15 from Gangavati taluka. The Core Zone which measures 41.8 Sq km is protected by Buffer and Peripheral zone. This planning exercise differs to other local planning areas. People live within the archaeological area and continue with their respective traditional practices such as agriculture, rituals etc., giving the character of a living heritage site. Transformations within the traditional cultural patterns such as agriculture, transportation etc., and growing needs of the local people and visitors is leading to a conflict with the conservation needs of predominant archaeological nature of the World Heritage Site. The master plan aims to strike a balance between preservation of heritage and development needs of local people. It is one of the first such exercises being taken up for a world heritage site in India. The Master plan (provisional) was submitted to the Government and subsequently approved vide GO no: Na Aa E 85 Be Ma Pra 2007 Bangalore Dated 14-5-2007.

The time given was sixty days under the provisions of KTCP Act. Authority received 134 objections which were scrutinized and discussed and decisions were taken in the Authority meeting dated 30th November 2007 and accordingly maps and report with Zonal Regulations are prepared for the final approval. During the process of finalizing the Master Plan, objections and suggestions by the stakeholders including feed back from various Central and State government agencies, Individuals, Grama Panchayats, Elected representatives, District level meetings, Tourism conclave, Exhibition of the master plan at Kamalapur and Anegundi, Consultation with international agencies such as UNESCO were taken into consideration. For the 4 settlements in the core area i.e. Hampi, Kaddirampura, Kamalapura and Anegundi detail surveys were conducted out on a priority because of their sensitive nature and are undergoing rapid transformation.
