Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 42, Part VI, Section 1 (42 VI 1)
Tamil Nadu Government Gazette No. 42, Part VI, Section 1, dated 26 October 2016, publishes planning variations issued by the Member-Secretary of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority on 18 October 2016, under authority delegated by the Government of Tamil Nadu through G.O. Ms. No. 419, Housing and Urban Development Department, dated 1 June 1984. The variations amend the Second Master Plan for Chennai Metropolitan Area 2026 and selected detailed development plans by changing the permitted land use of identified properties in Chennai, Kancheepuram and Thiruvallur districts.
What the notifications change
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority variations alter planning classifications for specific survey numbers, plots and door numbers. They update the relevant planning maps and, for some properties, impose conditions that must be met before development.
The changes affect owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with the listed properties. A reader should match the survey number, town survey number, block number, plot number or door number, rather than relying only on the village name.

Practical relevance
Property records should be checked against the exact identifiers in the notifications. Where Public Works Department compliance, revised building approval or Special Sanction is specified, the zoning change does not remove that stated requirement.

Common questions
Does the Kottur Village change approve the existing building automatically?
No. The notification states that revised approval for the building at Plot No. 104, Door No. 53/26, Gandhi Nagar, Adyar, must be obtained.
Can the reclassified Varadharajapuram land be developed without Public Works Department conditions?
No. Development must follow the conditions in Public Works Department Letter No. T1/4280/Varadarajapuram/2015 dated 1 July 2016.
What happened to the land at Door No. 101, Basin Road, Thiruvottiyur?
The identified land was reclassified from Special and Hazardous Industrial Use Zone to Mixed Residential Use Zone.
How can I tell whether my property is covered?
Compare the property's survey number, town survey number, block number, plot number and door number with the identifiers in the notification. A matching village name by itself is not enough to identify one of the listed sites.
