What this gazette notice does
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, dated 19 June 2024, publishes notifications issued by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, signed by the Member-Secretary, Anshul Mishra. The notifications vary the Approved Second Master Plan for the Chennai Metropolitan Area 2026 by changing the land use map entries for specific lands in named villages.
Who may be affected
This matters to:
- land owners and buyers of the listed plots and survey numbers
- developers seeking planning permission on those lands
- nearby owners where access or drainage conditions are mentioned
- institutions or industries planning to use the reclassified sites

Conditions attached in some cases
Some reclassifications are not unconditional. The gazette text says:
- a drainage plan must be obtained from an empanelled hydrologist for some sites
- remarks of the Water Resource Department must be complied with or obtained for some sites
- public access to surrounding vacant lands must be ensured for some sites
- for Thirunilai Survey No. 133, the applicant has to immediately apply and obtain necessary approvals for existing developments on the site
Why this matters in practice
A buyer or owner should check whether their land matches the exact village, plot number or survey number in these notifications. If it does, the permitted planning use shown in the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority master plan map has been changed, and any stated development conditions will also matter when approvals are sought.
