Gazette notifications on master plan variations in Kancheepuram, Karur, Coimbatore and Tiruthani
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, dated September 11, 2024, publishes notifications by local planning authorities and district town and country planning offices that change land use entries in master plans for Kancheepuram, Karur, Coimbatore and Tiruthani. These notifications move specific survey numbers or town survey numbers from one use zone to another, mainly from agricultural, public and semi public, or existing road classifications into residential, commercial or mixed residential use zones, based on Government Orders already issued.

The notices formally update master plan land use schedules for specific plots.

Who is affected
This matters to:
- buyers and owners of the exact survey numbers or town survey numbers named in the notifications,
- neighbours checking whether nearby land has been reclassified,
- planners, surveyors and document professionals verifying current master plan zoning.
If your land is not one of the listed numbers, these particular variations do not directly change your zoning.
Conditions mentioned
Some Coimbatore variations are stated to be subject to conditions. The gazette text mentions these points:
- where a watercourse runs through or near the site, development near water bodies must follow the required guidelines,
- development works must comply with the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019,
- for one site, a low tension electric line passes through the proposed plot, and a no objection certificate from the Tamil Nadu power utility is required for shifting it.
