Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, No. 18, May 1, 2024

What this gazette contains

The Government of Tamil Nadu, in Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, No. 18, dated May 1, 2024, published notifications by heads of departments about changes to approved master plans and local planning area land use schedules.

These notices are not a new statewide planning law. They record specific land use variations for named villages and survey numbers in different planning areas.

Who may be affected

This gazette matters to:

• land owners and buyers of the survey numbers named in the notifications
• developers, planners and survey professionals checking permitted land use
• anyone verifying whether land remains agricultural, becomes residential, or becomes industrial in the notified locations

Practical takeaway

If your land matches one of these survey numbers, check the exact village name, survey number and sub division in the gazette entry. The main effect is a recorded change in permitted land use, and in some cases development is conditional on utility clearance and compliance with the 2019 building and development rules.
