Land Pooling Area Development Scheme, Parvatharajapuram, Draft Scheme Notification

What the notification does

The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority notification starts the public draft stage for the Parvatharajapuram Land Pooling Area Development Scheme. It was issued under the powers stated in the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.

The proposed scheme seeks to combine irregularly shaped land that lacks roads, infrastructure and public facilities, and redistribute it as regularly shaped plots. It also proposes proper road access for all plots and land for parks, playgrounds, open spaces and public purposes.

Who may be affected

The Parvatharajapuram Land Pooling Area Development Scheme may affect landowners and other interested persons whose land falls within the scheme boundary shown in the annexed maps. Property buyers and professionals examining land in or near Parvatharajapuram and the Kuthambakkam bus terminal area should check the scheme maps against the relevant survey land parcel.

The draft states that landowners are to receive at least 60 percent of their land back as developed, value-added plots. The final plot configuration may differ from the original plot boundaries because the scheme includes redistribution and boundary changes.
