Transferable development rights
open-in-new
<p>Transferable development rights (TDR) is a method by which <a href="/facts/Land_development/W6dVvXjT">developers</a> can purchase the development rights of certain parcels within a designated "sending district" and transfer the rights to another "receiving district" to increase the density of their new development. The underlying legal concept of a transfer of development rights programme is the notion that all land has a bundle of property rights. It is used for controlling land use to complement <a href="/facts/Land-use_planning/esnoshrS">land-use planning</a> and <a href="/facts/Zoning/wox1dwXR">zoning</a> for more effective urban growth management and land conservation. </p>
