Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part II, Section 2, No. 49 (49 II 2 v5)
The Government of Tamil Nadu published two Housing and Urban Development Department measures dated 22 November 2021. G.O. Ms. No. 133 announced an intention to form the Sholinghur Local Planning Area from Sholinghur and Kondapalayam revenue villages, while G.O. Ms. No. 134 sanctioned a new District Town and Country Planning Office at Mayiladuthurai for the public to obtain planning permission.
Proposed Sholinghur Local Planning Area
G.O. Ms. No. 133, issued by the Housing and Urban Development Department on 22 November 2021, announced the Governor of Tamil Nadu's intention to specify a new local planning area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
The proposed area is named the Sholinghur Local Planning Area and consists of:
- Sholinghur revenue village.
- Kondapalayam revenue village.
The notification records an intention to create the local planning area. It does not state that the final declaration had already been made. Property owners, buyers and professionals dealing with land in either listed village should therefore distinguish this proposal from a final planning area notification.
Objections and suggestions
G.O. Ms. No. 133 allowed any inhabitant, local authority or institution in Sholinghur or Kondapalayam to submit a written objection or suggestion within two months from publication of the notification in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
Submissions were to be addressed to the Principal Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Fort Saint George, Chennai 600 009. The Government stated that objections and suggestions received within the permitted period would be considered.
The Gazette was published on 8 December 2021. The supplied text does not report the outcome of the consultation or provide a later final declaration.
Mayiladuthurai planning office
G.O. Ms. No. 134, issued by the Housing and Urban Development Department on 22 November 2021, sanctioned the formation of a District Town and Country Planning Office at Mayiladuthurai. The stated purpose was to enable the public to obtain planning permission in their district following the creation of Mayiladuthurai District with headquarters at Mayiladuthurai.
Key provisions include:
- Administrative sanction for recurring expenditure of Rs. 5,40,000.
- Administrative sanction for non recurring expenditure of Rs. 15,60,000.
- Redeployment of nine staff members from existing offices.
- Provision for office rent, utilities, equipment, furniture, record shifting and transportation.
The Mayiladuthurai office measure concerns planning administration rather than changing the classification or ownership of any particular property.
