The Director of Town and Country Planning, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued Notification No. VI(1)/683/2025 on November 28, 2025, and it was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on December 24, 2025. The notification amends the Approved Sevilimedu Detailed Development Plan No. III by changing 2,500 square metres in Survey No. 81/1, Sevilimedu "A" Village, Kancheepuram District, from agricultural use to residential use.
What the notification changes
Notification No. VI(1)/683/2025 confirms an individual variation to the Approved Sevilimedu Detailed Development Plan No. III of the Kancheepuram Local Planning Area. The Director of Town and Country Planning used powers under the Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, to approve the change.
The affected land is:
- Survey No. 81/1.
- Sevilimedu "A" Village extension.
- Kancheepuram Taluk and Kancheepuram District.
- An extent of 2,500 square metres, stated as 0.62 acres according to the patta.
The planning classification of this land is changed from agricultural use to residential use.
Changes to the approved plan records
The confirmed variation makes two specific changes to the planning records:
- Wherever the map reference "MAP No: 5 DDP(V)/DTCP No: 21/2008" occurs, the reference "DDP(V)/DTCP No: 11/2024" must be added and read with it.
- In Schedule No. I, Form No. 4, Serial No. 1, Column 2, Survey No. 81/1 must be shown as converted from agricultural use to residential use.
The original detailed development plan was consented to through the Director of Town and Country Planning proceedings dated September 5, 2011. Approval was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on September 21, 2011.
Approval process and commencement
The draft variation was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette on December 18, 2024, as Publication No. VI(1)/811/2024. The Director of Town and Country Planning recorded that no objections or suggestions were received within the stipulated period and therefore confirmed the variation.
Notification No. VI(1)/683/2025 states that the variation becomes enforceable from the date on which the confirmed variation notification is published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
Who may be affected
The confirmed variation directly concerns owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with the specified portion of Survey No. 81/1. For that identified extent, the approved plan now provides for residential use instead of agricultural use. The notification does not describe a wider land use change for other survey numbers or other parts of Sevilimedu Village.
