Under Article 243ZD of the Constitution, which of the following is NOT a mandatory consideration for the District Planning Committee while preparing the draft development plan for a district? 

Article 243ZD(3) specifies that the District Planning Committee shall "have regard to" three specific categories of considerations: (a) matters of common interest including spatial planning, sharing of water and physical resources, and integrated infrastructure development; and (b) the extent and type of available resources. Article 243ZD(3)(b) also requires consultation with "institutions and organisations as the Governor may, by order, specify." However, there is no mention of mandatory consideration of recommendations from senior bureaucrats. The District Planning Committee must consolidate plans prepared by Panchayats and Municipalities as per Article 243ZD(1), ensuring coordination between rural and urban development.
