What changes in the master plan
For each notified site, the master plan is altered in two ways:
- the survey field is inserted into the new permitted land use category, and
- the wider agricultural entry is revised so that the converted survey field is excluded from agricultural use.
The source text says these variations follow land use zone conversion orders issued by the Housing and Urban Development Department, subject to conditions.
Why this matters to buyers and owners
If your land matches one of the listed survey fields, the notified master plan classification has been changed. That can affect what type of development is allowed on the site, whether residential or industrial, and it may also bring site specific conditions.
Conditions mentioned in the text
Some notifications include conditions such as:
- an existing building at the proposed site must be demolished and removed,
- development must follow the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019,
- in one industrial conversion, development should be for industries other than red category industries,
- where a watercourse passes through the site, it must be rerouted within the site boundary and retained, and required procedures for development near water bodies must be followed.
