Variation to the Approved Salem Master Plan of the Salem Local Planning Area

What this document is

The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, No. VI(1)/574/2025, published on October 15, 2025, notifies a variation to the approved Salem Master Plan of the Salem Local Planning Area. The variation is made using powers delegated by the Government in G.O.(Ms). No.102, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(L. Re-1)] Department, dated 18.08.2021, after land use zone conversion from Agricultural Use Zone to Residential Use Zone was ordered in G.O.(2D). No.242, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(L. Re-1)] Department, dated 14.08.2025.

What it changes

The notification changes how a specific survey field entry is shown in the Salem Master Plan for Pagalpatti Village.

Key change recorded in the Gazette:

• In the approved Salem Master Plan, under permitted land use in survey numbers of Salem Local Planning Area.
• Under V.No.69, Pagalpatti Village, in page numbers 157 to 158.
• Under the heading Agricultural Use and sub-heading AG-52.
• The expression S.F.No.180P is deleted.
• It is replaced with 180P, excluding S.F.Nos.180/2B1B.

This means the agricultural zoning entry will continue only for the balance of S.F.No.180P, after excluding S.F.Nos.180/2B1B.

Who it affects

The variation matters mainly to people dealing with land in Pagalpatti Village in the Salem Local Planning Area, especially if their property relates to S.F.No.180P or S.F.Nos.180/2B1B.

It may be relevant to:

• buyers checking planning status,
• owners of the affected survey fields,
• layout or building applicants,
• planners, surveyors and document writers.

Why it matters for property checks

The Gazette text shows that part of the earlier agricultural entry has been carved out from S.F.No.180P. If your land falls in S.F.Nos.180/2B1B, you should not rely on the old Salem Master Plan entry that treated the whole of S.F.No.180P as agricultural under AG-52.

For practical reading of the notification:

• the old agricultural entry for the whole S.F.No.180P no longer applies,
• the revised agricultural entry applies only to S.F.No.180P excluding S.F.Nos.180/2B1B,
• the excluded portion is linked to the land use conversion referred to in G.O.(2D). No.242, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(L. Re-1)] Department, dated 14.08.2025.

Limits of what the Gazette page says

The Gazette extract does not give the extent, boundaries or a separate schedule for S.F.Nos.180/2B1B on the page provided. It only records the master plan entry change for Pagalpatti Village.
