What the notification does
Notification No. VI(1)/89/2013 declares specified survey lands in Veerapuram Village and Thenmalpakkam Village, Veerapuram Panchayat, Kattankolathur Panchayat Union, Chengalpet Taluk, Kancheepuram District, as a multistoried building area for information technology buildings. The declared area is stated as 58.87 acres and includes land in an approved layout identified as LP/DTCP No. 108/2010, Plot No. TPI.
The declaration applies under the Tamil Nadu Multistoried and Public Building Rules, 1973 and related instructions. It does not by itself grant building plan approval.
Who may be affected
Notification No. VI(1)/89/2013 is relevant to owners, buyers, developers, architects and structural engineers dealing with the listed survey lands. A person checking property in either village should compare the property survey number with the detailed list in the Gazette rather than assume that the whole village is covered.
The notification is especially relevant where the proposed use is a multistoried information technology building. Building plans must meet the stated conditions and obtain required clearances.

The declaration requires compliance with conditions including:
- Floor Space Index, plot coverage and other multistoried building requirements must follow the applicable rules and instructions.
- Clearances or no objection certificates must be obtained from the relevant town planning, highways, traffic police, fire service, airport, microwave and pollution control authorities.
- Environmental impact assessment clearance must be obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Forest Department, Government of India, where required by the latest Central Government notification.

The declaration allows the area to be considered for multistoried information technology buildings, but the required approvals and no objection certificates remain necessary.
