No. Only Survey Nos. 298/2 and 298/3A are added to the educational use zone. The remaining part of Survey No. 298 and Survey Nos. 299 to 303 remain in the agricultural entry.
Can the listed residential survey fields be developed without further approvals?

Does the residential conversion affect the whole of Survey Nos. 760, 761, 762, 790 and the other listed parent survey numbers?
No. The notification converts only the specified subdivisions. The revised agricultural entry retains the other parts of those parent survey numbers.
