Who this affects

This matters to landowners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with the listed survey numbers and town planning records in these local planning areas.

• If your land is one of the listed survey numbers, the planning use shown in the master plan may now be residential instead of agricultural or public purpose.
• If you are checking road reservation in Sirudhur Village, part of the 18.0 metre wide A-A scheme road is deleted in the confirmed variation.
• If you are dealing with Dharapuram land records, note that the gazette text calls those changes draft variations, not confirmed variations.

Important points to note

• The Sirudhur confirmation says no objections and suggestions were received within the stipulated time.
• The Sirudhur draft becomes enforceable from the date of publication of the confirmed variation notification in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
• The other notifications state that the variations are made following Government Orders for land use zone conversion cited in each notice.
