Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part II, Section 2 Supplement

Land planning proposals

The Housing and Urban Development Department notifications under Government Order (Ms.) Numbers 124, 125 and 131, each dated 22 June 2022, announce the Governor's intention to include specified revenue villages within previously declared planning areas.

Key provisions are:

• Government Order (Ms.) Number 124 proposes adding nine listed revenue villages to the planning area that includes Virudhunagar Municipality.
• Government Order (Ms.) Number 125 proposes adding ten listed revenue villages to the planning area that includes Udumalai Municipality.
• Government Order (Ms.) Number 131 proposes adding eight listed revenue villages to a previously declared planning area.
• The proposals are made under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
• Each notification identifies the proposed villages by revenue village number and name.
• Residents, local authorities and institutions in the proposed areas could submit written objections or comments within two months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
• Objections received within that period must be considered before further action is taken.

Written representations were to be sent to the Principal Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Fort St. George, Chennai 600 009.

Who may be affected

The Housing and Urban Development Department proposals are relevant to property owners, buyers, residents, institutions and local authorities in the listed revenue villages. Inclusion within a planning area may be relevant when checking the planning authority responsible for land development, but the notifications themselves state an intention to include the villages and provide an objection process.

A buyer or professional should compare the property's revenue village number and name with the schedules in the relevant notification. The Gazette text does not state that these proposals grant planning permission, approve a layout or change the use of any individual parcel.
