SHNK 2.07.01-03 — "Town planning. Planning of development and building development of cities and rural settlements" (Градостроительство. Планирование развития и застройки территорий городских и сельских населённых пунктов). This regulatory document sets planning and siting requirements for urban and rural settlement development in the Republic of Uzbekistan, including rules for land‑use zoning, building placement, inter‑building distances, functional zoning and urban infrastructure corridors.

Abstract

SHNK 2.07.01-03 provides normative guidance for preparing territorial planning documents and design solutions at municipal and neighbourhood levels. It defines principles for layout and density, minimum separation distances between buildings (insolation and privacy requirements), rules for individual housing plots, allocation of public spaces and engineering corridors, and basic criteria used by local authorities when approving development and permitting construction. The document has been used as a primary national reference for urban planning practice in Uzbekistan.

Scope

Applies to planning, zoning and layout of urban and rural settlements across Uzbekistan. The standard covers master planning principles, subdivision and neighbourhood layout, siting and orientation of buildings, required separation distances (for insolation, privacy and fire safety), public‑space and green‑space allocation, transport and engineering corridors, and basic requirements for individual and multi‑family residential zones. It is intended for use by municipal planners, design institutes and permitting authorities when preparing and reviewing territorial planning and construction documents.

Key topics and requirements

• Principles of territorial planning and hierarchical structure of planning documents (master plans, zoning schemes, detailed plans).
• Rules for siting residential and non‑residential buildings, including minimum distances between long facades and between building ends to ensure insolation and privacy (examples cited in practice: 25–30 m between long sides of 4–5 storey buildings).
• Classification of settlement zones (residential of various densities, mixed‑use, commercial, industrial, public facilities).
• Requirements for individual housing plots (limits on “individual” construction, recommended setbacks, separation and service corridors).
• Provision and protection of engineering networks, transport access and fire‑fighting routes within planning strips and regulation lines.
• Guidance on green spaces, public amenities and preservation of existing urban trees and communal infrastructure.
• Compatibility checks between proposed development and existing neighbourhoods (visual, shadowing, and infrastructure capacity considerations).

Typical use and users

Primary users: municipal and regional urban planning departments, design institutes and architects, developers and consultants preparing master plans and detailed development plans, building permit authorities, and legal advisors working on land use and development compliance within Uzbekistan. The document is used to evaluate planning applications, to set urban parameters for projects, and as a reference in dispute resolution over siting and separation requirements.
