Declaration of Draft Amendment to inclusion of total area of the Chengalpattu Taluk except the portions covered under Mamallapuram Local Planning Area
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, issued G.O.Ms. No. 111, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)], dated 4 July 2014, declaring an intention to include most of Chengalpattu Taluk in the Chengalpattu Local Planning Area. It is a draft amendment to a 1974 notification, and excludes areas already covered by the Mamallapuram Local Planning Area, Mamallapuram New Town Development Area and Chennai Metropolitan Area.
What the draft amendment does
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, published Notification No. II(2)/HOU/440/2014 under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. It records the Governor of Tamil Nadu's intention to include the total area of Chengalpattu Taluk in the Chengalpattu Local Planning Area, subject to three stated exclusions.
The proposal is a draft amendment to Rural Development and Local Administration Department Notification No. II(2)/RUL/2160/74, published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on 17 April 1974. The draft proposes to replace the table in that earlier notification with a new table of revenue villages.
Areas covered and excluded
The draft amendment covers listed revenue villages under the Chengalpattu Local Planning Area. The table groups the listed places under Chengalpattu Municipality and Maraimalai Nagar Municipality, and gives the number and name of each revenue village.
The proposed inclusion does not cover portions of Chengalpattu Taluk that fall within:
- Mamallapuram Local Planning Area.
- Mamallapuram New Town Development Area.
- Chennai Metropolitan Area.
The schedule includes municipalities, town panchayats, a census town, reserve forest areas and numerous revenue villages. Inclusion in the table is therefore the main document check for determining whether a particular village formed part of the draft proposal.
Who may be affected
The draft amendment is relevant to inhabitants, local authorities and institutions in the local areas proposed for inclusion. Property buyers, owners and professionals dealing with land in Chengalpattu Taluk can check the listed revenue village name and number, while also confirming whether the land falls within one of the three excluded planning areas.
The notification records only an intention to amend the planning area. It does not state in the supplied text that the proposed inclusion had become final.
Objections and suggestions
The Housing and Urban Development Department stated that the draft amendment would be considered on or after two months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. Objections or suggestions received from an inhabitant, local authority or institution within that period were to be considered by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Written submissions were to be addressed to the Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Fort Saint George, Chennai 600 009.
