The Coimbatore Local Planning Authority notifications numbered VI(1)/188/2022 to VI(1)/191/2022 alter the permitted land use entries in the approved Coimbatore Master Plan. Specified survey numbers are removed from agricultural classifications and added to the residential use zone.
The variations were signed on 19 April 2022 by C. Mathivanan, Member-Secretary and Joint Director of the Coimbatore Local Planning Authority or Coimbatore District Office, and published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 27 April 2022.

This implements Housing and Urban Development Department G.O. (2D) No. 18 dated 22 January 2022 and is stated to be subject to conditions.
- Kuppeypalayam Village: Survey Nos. 327/2 and 327/3 are added to the residential use zone. The Agricultural Dry classification for Survey Nos. 296 to 333 is revised to exclude those two subdivisions. This implements Housing and Urban Development Department G.O. (2D) No. 30 dated 25 January 2022.

Who may be affected
Owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with the listed survey numbers may be affected because the master plan now records those parcels for residential rather than agricultural use. The notifications change planning classification only for the survey numbers expressly identified and do not state that every parcel in the four villages is reclassified.
