The Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department issued Government Order Ms. No. 184 on 21st October 2022 as an extraordinary Gazette notification. It includes additional contiguous areas in listed villages of Kancheepuram, Thiruvallur, Chengalpattu and Ranipet districts within the Chennai Metropolitan Planning Area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
What the notification does
Government Order Ms. No. 184, issued by the Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department on 21st October 2022, expands the Chennai Metropolitan Planning Area by including additional contiguous areas in specified villages. The notification was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary as Notification No. II(2)/HOU/811(d)/2022.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the inclusion using the power under clause (23-a) of Section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The notification links the expanded area to the Chennai Metropolitan Planning Area previously specified through the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published on 21st November 1974.
Areas covered
The schedule identifies affected locations by district, taluk, village number and village name. It covers additional contiguous areas in villages situated in:
- Kancheepuram district
- Thiruvallur district
- Chengalpattu district
- Ranipet district
The supplied schedule includes numerous entries in Thiruvallur district within Ponneri, Gummidipoondi and Uthukottai taluks. Examples include Pulicat, Ponneri, Kattupalli, Gummidipoondi (Old), Gummidipoondi (New), Uthukottai and Perandur. Some village entries are divided into separately numbered parts, such as Kolur-1, Kolur-2 and Kolur-3. The schedule also includes a portion of Palavakkam Reserved Forest.
Who should check the schedule
Government Order Ms. No. 184 may affect buyers, owners, developers and professionals dealing with land in or near a listed village. Its direct legal change is the inclusion of the identified additional contiguous area within the Chennai Metropolitan Planning Area.
Before relying only on a familiar village name, readers should compare the property's district, taluk, village number and village name with the Gazette schedule. This is particularly important where the schedule divides one village into multiple numbered parts or identifies only a portion with a specific village number.
