What this gazette notification does
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part VI, Section 1, dated 8 December 2021 carries a set of planning notifications issued by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. The notifications are signed by Anshul Mishra, Member-Secretary, Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, dated 2 December 2021.
The main effect is to vary the Approved Second Master Plan for the Chennai Metropolitan Area 2026 for certain lands, and to vary the Mylapore-Santhome Area Detailed Development Plan for one Chennai site. In simple terms, the land use zoning for listed survey numbers is changed.
Who may be affected
This matters to:
- land owners and buyers of the listed survey numbers
- developers seeking planning permission on those lands
- neighbouring owners, because some changes require access to adjacent vacant lands to be kept open
- industrial applicants, because some sites need extra remarks or clearances before development
