Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 49, Part VI, Section 1 (49 VI 1 v8)
The Government of Tamil Nadu published Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 49, Part VI, Section 1 on 9 December 2015, containing notifications issued by the Director of Town and Country Planning under Roc. No. 12138/2015/Special Cell dated 12 October 2015 and Roc. No. 10195/2015/Special Cell dated 18 November 2015. The notifications declare specified land at Kunnapattu and Mondipatti as multistoried building areas for industrial buildings and impose conditions for building plan clearance. An erratum issued by the Director of Town and Country Planning under Roc. No. 23364/14-Spl cell dated 19 November 2015 amends an earlier notification by changing the permitted building description at Avalpoondurai from residential to industrial.
What the notifications cover
The Director of Town and Country Planning has declared two specified land areas as multistoried building areas for industrial construction under the Tamil Nadu Multistoried and Public Building Rules, 1973 and related instructions:
- Approval Layout LP/DTCP No. 17/2013, Plot No. 24, Kunnapattu Village, Chengalpattu Taluk, Kancheepuram District, measuring 20,194.43 square metres.
- The listed survey numbers in Mondipatti Village and Panchayat, Manapparai Taluk, Tiruchirappalli District, measuring 303.35 acres.
The declarations do not by themselves remove the building plan clearance requirements. Applicants must demonstrate compliance when submitting plans.
Who is affected
The Kunnapattu and Mondipatti declarations directly affect owners, developers, architects and structural engineers proposing multistoried industrial buildings on the identified land. Buyers considering these properties should note that the declarations are specifically for industrial buildings and that development remains subject to approvals and technical conditions.
The Avalpoondurai correction affects land described in Notification No. VI(1)/261/15, published on 21 October 2015. The corrected description is industrial buildings, not residential buildings.

Building plan applicants for the declared areas must address conditions including:
- Compliance with applicable floor space index, plot coverage and multistoried building requirements.
- Required clearances or no objection certificates from the listed planning, highways, traffic police, fire service, airport, microwave and pollution control authorities, together with environmental impact assessment clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forest Department, Government of India.
