Declaration of Multistoried Building Area for Construction of Residential Buildings at Chettipunniyam Village, Kattangolathur Panchayat Union, Chengalpattu Taluk, Kancheepuram District

What this notification does

The Commissioner of Town and Country Planning, Roc. No. 10201/2016/Special Cell, dated 2nd August 2016, declares land in Survey Numbers 399/3B, 414A/1C2 and 414A/3, measuring 24,227.74 square metres, at Chettipunniyam Village, Kattangolathur Panchayat Union, Chengalpattu Taluk, Kancheepuram District, as a multistoried building area for construction of residential buildings.

The notification says the declaration is under the Tamil Nadu Multi-Storied and Public Building Rules 1973 and related instructions. It also sets conditions that must be checked when building plans are cleared.

Who it affects

This notification mainly affects:

• the owner or developer of the notified land
• architects and structural engineers preparing the plans
• buyers of flats or homes in any future project on this site
• approving authorities who must verify compliance before sanction

If you are dealing with land outside these survey numbers, this notification does not directly declare your land as a multistoried building area.

Key conditions for approval

The notification requires compliance with several conditions, including:

• floor space index and plot coverage must follow the applicable rules
• clearances and No Objection Certificates must be obtained from authorities including the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning, Highway Department, Traffic Police Department, Fire Service Department, Chennai Regional Advisory Committee, Airport Authority, Microwave Authority and Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board
• EIA clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forest Department, Government of India must be obtained as per the latest Central Government notification and submitted to the authority concerned
• the building must be earthquake resistive and designed by a Registered Professional Structural Engineer, who must sign all plans

• culverts across the water channel, if necessary, must be built by the applicant at own cost with the required No Objection Certificate

Why this matters to a buyer or owner

The notification does not itself approve a building plan. It identifies the site as eligible for multistoried residential development, but only if the applicant meets the listed technical and regulatory conditions during plan approval.
