Variations to planning classifications in Athikulam, Chennai Metropolitan Area and Coimbatore

What this gazette page contains

The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, dated 22 May 2019, carries several planning notifications issued by the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning and the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. It also includes one unrelated notice cancelling the registration of T.H.74 Muniampatti Handloom Weavers Co-operative Society Limited, Muniampatti, Ellur, Muniampatti Post, Sangakiri Taluk, Salem District.

For property owners and buyers, the important part is the set of planning variations. These change how certain survey fields are shown in approved plans, or how land is classified for use.
