The Monitoring Committee of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority issued these minutes for its 56th meeting, held on 3 February 2016. The minutes record case-specific decisions and directions on applications to regularise unauthorised or deviated buildings in Chennai, including acceptance of evidence, conditional consideration, delegation to the Member Secretary and rejection.
What the minutes cover
The minutes of the 56th meeting of the Monitoring Committee of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority concern individual building regularisation applications. They do not announce a general approval for unauthorised construction. Buyers and owners connected with a listed property should check the recorded decision, any conditions and whether later action was required from the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority.
Main decisions
- For Door No. 24, Desika Road, Mylapore, the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority was directed to examine whether individual commercial flats had been considered under the 1999 regularisation scheme. The Member Secretary was authorised to dispose of the file on its merits.
- The individual residential flat at Old Door No. 25, Abiramapuram 3rd Street, and the nursing home at Door No. 6, Chokkalingam Street, Mandaveli, could be dealt with by the Member Secretary under guidelines from the previous Monitoring Committee meeting.
- For the residential and commercial building at Door No. 41/B, C.P. Ramasamy Road, Alwarpet, the committee accepted property tax records as credible evidence that construction was completed before 28 February 1999. Regularisation could be considered after reassessment and payment of property tax arrears based on the actual floor area, applicable charges, fees and other usual conditions.
- The committee made a similar finding for the nursing home at Door No. 6, Chokkalingam Street, Mandaveli.
- For the Ayurvedic medicine industrial building at Plot No. 79, Injambakkam, the committee accepted an endorsement from the Deputy Inspector of Factories as evidence of completion before 28 February 1999. Later construction, including a laboratory room and a parking shed in the setback, had to be removed. A current consent order from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board was also required.
- Regularisation of the building at Old Door No. 11, New Door No. 2, Vepery, was rejected because the application, plan and inspection material gave inconsistent descriptions of its use, and inspections could not establish the actual use.
Marina Square proceedings
For Marina Square at Door Nos. 26 and 27, Santhome High Road, the committee held a personal hearing. It observed that evidence covered construction only up to the fifth floor before 28 February 1999, not the sixth floor part. It also recorded concerns about road width, multistoreyed building requirements and floor space index restrictions at the location. No final resolution for this item appears in the supplied text.

Common questions
Does a building listed in these minutes automatically become regularised?
No. Some cases were only made eligible for consideration subject to reassessment, payments, removal of later construction or other conditions. One Vepery application was expressly rejected.
Why was the Vepery regularisation application rejected?
The application described the whole building as commercial, while the submitted plan showed commercial, residential and institutional uses. Inspections could not confirm the actual use because the building had remained vacant.
What was required for the Ayurvedic medicine building in Injambakkam?
The later laboratory room and the parking shed in the setback had to be removed. Regularisation could then be considered with applicable payments, usual conditions and a current consent order from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board.
Did the committee approve the sixth floor part of Marina Square?
The committee observed that there was no proof that the sixth floor part existed before 28 February 1999 and treated it as violating the 1999 regularisation scheme norms. The supplied text does not contain a final resolution on that agenda item.
