Draft Variation to the List of Parks, Play-fields and OSR Land for Tiruchirappalli Corporation, Srirangam Division under Tamil Nadu Parks, Play-fields and Open Spaces (Preservation and Regulation) Act
The Tamil Nadu Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 249, Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC2), dated 19th October 2010, publishing a draft variation to the approved list of play-fields in Tiruchirappalli. The proposal would replace the notified St. Joseph’s College play-field land in New T.S. No. 44 part with land measuring 22,000 square feet in New S. No. 40 part, and invited objections or suggestions within seven days of Gazette publication.
What the notification does
The Tamil Nadu Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department published a draft change to the approved list of parks, play-fields and open spaces for the former Tiruchirappalli Municipal Council area. The change concerns the entry for “20 St. Joseph’s College Play-field” in the Srirangam Division.
The earlier approved list had identified 22,000 square feet in Old T.S. Nos. 293 and 294/1, corresponding to New T.S. No. 44 part, as a play-field. The draft proposes to move that notified play-field designation to another site within the St. Joseph’s College campus.
Why the variation was proposed
The Director of Town and Country Planning reported that a building plan had been approved for construction of a library in T.S. No. 36 within the St. Joseph’s College campus. The college management represented that the library was instead constructed in T.S. No. 44 part, which had been notified as a play-field.
The management requested that an alternative site of the same extent in T.S. No. 40 within the campus be notified as the play-field. The Government examined the proposal and decided to accept it, subject to publication of the draft variation and consideration of responses.
Proposed changes to the land entry
The draft variation would:
- Omit the entry for Old T.S. No. 293 and its related particulars from the St. Joseph’s College Play-field entry.
- Replace the entry for Old T.S. No. 294/1 with “New S. No. 40 part”.
- Substitute the area entry with 22,000 square feet.
- Effectively replace New T.S. No. 44 part with an alternative play-field site in New S. No. 40 part within the college campus.
Who may be affected
The draft is relevant to St. Joseph’s College, people interested in the identified play-field land, and buyers or professionals examining land in the cited town survey numbers. It was published as a draft rather than a stated final variation.
Objections and suggestions
Any interested person could submit written objections or suggestions within seven days from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. Responses were to be addressed to the Principal Secretary to Government, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, Secretariat, Fort St. George, Chennai 600 009.
