Development condition
Reclassification as Institutional use zone does not remove the stated development condition. Any development taken up on the site must comply with the conditions specified by the Public Works Department in its letter dated 12th September 2018.
The source does not reproduce those Public Works Department conditions. A buyer, owner or professional assessing development potential would therefore need to identify and review that letter before relying on the institutional classification.
Who may be affected
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority variation directly concerns owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with Old Survey No. 439/3A1A1A1 or New Survey No. 439/35 in Sholinganallur Village. It may affect the planning status and proposed institutional development of that specific site. The notification does not state that other land in Sholinganallur Village has been reclassified.
