Publication of Draft Scheme for Kuthambakkam Land Pooling Area Development Scheme
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority issued Notification Number MPU/LPADS/Thirumazhisai/2025-2, under RC.No.28612/2025/D3 dated 12 November 2025, to publish the Draft Scheme for the Kuthambakkam Land Pooling Area Development Scheme. The draft proposes pooling and reorganising private and public land, providing roads and public facilities, returning at least 60 percent of the land as reconstituted plots to owners, and inviting written objections within sixty days from publication.
What the draft scheme covers
The Kuthambakkam Land Pooling Area Development Scheme is a proposal by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority to reorganise irregularly shaped private and public lands that lack access, infrastructure and public facilities.
Its stated objectives are:
- Pool irregular private and public land and reconstitute it into regular plots.
- Provide proper road access to every plot.
- Provide parks, playgrounds, open spaces and public amenities.
- Return reconstituted plots amounting to not less than 60 percent of each plot owner's land, with increased land value.
Who may be affected
The Kuthambakkam Land Pooling Area Development Scheme may directly affect owners of original plots within the scheme boundary. Buyers and property professionals dealing with land in the mapped area should check whether a property appears in the original plot map, whether its boundaries are proposed to change, and where it appears in the final plot map.
The maps also identify matters that may affect development or access, including the scheme boundary, approved layouts, waterbodies, built-up areas, a high tension line, roads, public-purpose land, parks, playgrounds and infrastructure locations.
