Kancheepuram Master Plan variation

It says the Development Control Regulations for the Kancheepuram Local Planning Area are being changed by inserting a new regulation on completion certification.
The new provisions apply to all categories of buildings except:
- industrial buildings
- residential buildings up to 3 dwelling units
Key provisions are:
- a Construction Continuance Certificate is to be applied for when construction reaches plinth level
- the authority checks the site boundary, building dimensions and setbacks against the approved plan
- the application for Construction Continuance Certificate must be disposed of within 15 days from receipt
- a Completion Certificate is required when construction is fully completed without further civil works
- the authority checks whether the building matches the approved plan and whether earlier No Objection Certificate conditions have been complied with
- no applicant, buyer, worker or other person may occupy the building without a valid Completion Certificate
- temporary utility connection must be disconnected after construction, and regular utility connection will be given only on receipt of a valid Completion Certificate
- the norms apply prospectively, for planning permissions issued from the date of issue mentioned in the notification
Coimbatore Master Plan variation
The notification titled Variations to the Approved Master Plan for the Coimbatore Local Planning Area changes the land use schedule for Othakalmandapam Village in a non notified detailed development plan area.
The published change does two things:
- it revises which survey numbers remain under Agricultural use
- it adds specified survey numbers under Educational use
This affects owners, buyers and consultants dealing with the listed lands in Othakalmandapam Village, because the notified land use classification in the Master Plan is being altered.
