Minutes of the 60th Meeting of the Monitoring Committee Held on 07.02.2017 at 3.00 PM in the Main Conference Hall at CMDA
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Monitoring Committee issued these minutes for its meeting held on 7 February 2017, recording decisions on regularisation proposals for specified Chennai buildings and discussions on educational building and fire safety requirements. The minutes allow regularisation to be considered for several named buildings, subject to revised plans, applicable charges and fees, DFRS clearance, structural stability certification and, in two cases, additional property-specific conditions.
What the minutes cover
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Monitoring Committee examined evidence about when several unauthorised or irregular buildings were completed. For the properties listed below, the Committee accepted evidence that construction had been completed before 28 February 1999 and stated that regularisation may be considered subject to conditions.
These are case-specific decisions. The minutes do not record an unconditional or final regularisation approval for any property.
Properties considered
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Monitoring Committee recorded the following decisions:
- 7 Pattulos Road, Triplicane: The basement, ground floor and six floors were accepted as completed before the cut-off date. Regularisation may be considered only after demolition of the additional part of the seventh floor, which was constructed after 1999.
- 14, New No. 67, Ashok Nagar First Avenue: The ground floor and four-floor hotel and lodging building may be considered after reassessment and payment of property tax arrears for a difference of 3,330 square feet from 1998-99 to date.
- 12 College Road, Nungambakkam: The basement, ground floor and four-floor commercial building may be considered for regularisation.
- 30 Kadhar Nawaz Khan Road, Nungambakkam: The basement, ground floor and five-floor commercial building may be considered for regularisation.

- Cini Rakki and Mini Rakki Theatre, Redhills Road, Ambattur: The ground floor and four-floor commercial building may be considered for regularisation.
Conditions and wider issues
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority Monitoring Committee required applicable charges and fees, plans clearly showing the regularisable area, detailed floor and site plans, a DFRS no-objection certificate and a structural stability certificate. Revised plans were expressly required in several cases.
For educational buildings exceeding 300 square metres, the Committee formed a three-member subcommittee to examine proposed Development Regulation changes and submit a report within one month. The Committee also discussed active and passive fire safety measures, including water tanks, setbacks, open-to-sky spaces and road widths, but the supplied minutes do not record a completed regulatory amendment.
