Purpose
The Member-Secretary of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority issued the revised procedure dated 6 November 2009 to reduce delays in processing planning permission applications for industries and institutions. The page does not state an order number and says that the procedure takes immediate effect.
Previously, the concerned local bodies forwarded these applications to the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. Processing began only after the scrutiny fee was paid, which the document identifies as a cause of considerable delay.
How applications may be submitted
For industrial and institutional applications where powers have not been delegated to the local body:
- The application may be admitted at the Special Building counter of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority.
- The applicant must pay the scrutiny fee.
- The application must contain all required particulars.
- The document does not state the amount of the scrutiny fee or list the required particulars.
Applicants may instead choose to apply through the local body and have the application forwarded to the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. In that case, the forwarded application must include the required DD for the scrutiny fee.
Applications without the scrutiny fee
A planning permission application forwarded by a local body without the scrutiny fee must be returned immediately to that local body. The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority will not process such an application before returning it.
The document does not provide a separate correction period or another procedure for applications returned because the scrutiny fee was missing.
Who is affected
The revised admission procedure affects applicants seeking planning permission for industries and institutions where approval powers have not been delegated to local bodies. It also affects local bodies that receive and forward these applications to the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority.
The order was circulated to Deputy Planners, Assistant Planners and Planning Assistants in the Area Plans Unit. The Senior Planner of the RT Division was requested to inform all local bodies.
