Minutes of the 51st Meeting of the Monitoring Committee held on 16.12.2014
The Monitoring Committee of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority recorded these minutes for its meeting held on December 16, 2014, deciding evidence and conditions for regularisation applications concerning specific buildings in Chennai. The minutes also amend an earlier decision about the recorded use of floors in an Anna Nagar church and defer a Guindy Industrial Estate case for clarification.
What the minutes cover
The Minutes of the 51st Meeting of the Monitoring Committee of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority deal mainly with whether particular unauthorised or deviated buildings were completed before February 28, 1999. The committee assessed documents such as demolition notices, stop work notices, property tax assessments and inspection reports.
These decisions apply only to the properties identified in the minutes. Buyers and owners of those properties should note that the committee generally stated that regularisation may be considered subject to usual conditions and payment of applicable charges or fees.
Properties accepted as completed before the cutoff
The Monitoring Committee accepted evidence for the following developments:
- Navin House on Thambu Chetty Street, subject to removing the watchman room and toilet in the fifth floor part.
- A commercial and residential building with four dwelling units at Manidvipa Terrace, Venkatakrishna Iyer Road, Mylapore.
- Three dwelling units at Rani Annadurai Street, Mandaveli.
- An individual second floor flat at Sundararajan Street, Abiramapuram.
- Seven dwelling units at Lakshmi Flats, Krishna Nagar, Hasthinapuram Village.
- Two dwelling units at Lakshmanaperumal Nagar, Kottivakkam Village.
- An individual second floor residential flat at Sherifuddin Sahib Street, Choolaimedu.
- Four dwelling units at Muthalamman Koil Street, Kodambakkam.
- Nine dwelling units at Sri Gotha Vilas, Damodaran Street, T. Nagar.
Property specific conditions and corrections
The Muthalamman Koil Street applicant must obtain reassessment for a difference of 175 square feet, pay arrears from the stated assessment period to the Corporation of Chennai, and submit the reassessment report and receipt to the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority before an advice letter for payment of the regularisation fee is issued.
For Church No. 40 at P Block, Third Avenue, Anna Nagar, the committee accepted that the first floor and mezzanine floor were used as a prayer hall and for other religious welfare activities. It amended the earlier minutes of the 35th Monitoring Committee Meeting to record institutional religious welfare use instead of marriage hall or Kalyana Mandapam use. Other earlier conditions remain applicable.
Deferred Guindy case
The Monitoring Committee deferred the application concerning industrial garment structures at A7 and A8, Guindy Industrial Estate. It sought clarification from the Chief Inspector of Factories on whether the ground floor plus two floor building shown in the endorsed plan already existed when the endorsement was issued or was only proposed.

Common questions
Does inclusion of a property in these minutes mean regularisation was finally granted?
The minutes generally state that regularisation may be considered subject to usual conditions and collection of applicable charges or fees. Property owners should therefore check whether the stated conditions and later procedural requirements were completed.
What evidence did the Monitoring Committee accept to show older construction?
Depending on the property, the committee accepted demolition notices, stop work notices, refusal letters and property tax assessment notices as credible evidence. Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority inspection reports were treated as supportive evidence in some cases.
Was the fifth floor part of Navin House accepted without changes?
No. Acceptance was subject to removal of the watchman room and toilet in the fifth floor part, along with usual conditions and applicable charges.
Was the Guindy Industrial Estate regularisation application approved?
No decision was recorded in the supplied text. The Monitoring Committee deferred the matter to obtain clarification from the Chief Inspector of Factories.
