What the notification does
G.O. Ms. No. 229, Housing and Urban Development (UD-I), dated 7th November 2008, grants a project-specific exemption under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The exemption applies to identified construction in Manapakkam Village and Ramapuram Village, Chennai.
The exemption is from sub-regulation (8) of Regulation 28 of the Development Regulations for the Second Master Plan for Chennai Metropolitan Area 2026, read with Regulations 3 and 4 of Annexure XX.
Properties and construction covered
The Housing and Urban Development Department notification covers:
- A building with a basement, ground floor and three upper floors in S.Nos. 3/1A, 1B, 1C and 2/2 of Manapakkam Village.
- Additional construction on that building consisting of a service floor, fourth floor and mezzanine floor.
- Two blocks consisting of a ground floor and three upper floors for an extended care facility building connected with a school and college of nursing and hospital.
- A ground floor service block at S.Nos. 80/1A2 and 2 of Ramapuram Village.
- The Ramapuram property identified as Door No. 4/112, Mount Poonamallee Road, Chennai.
Who may be affected
The exemption directly concerns the owners, developers, occupiers and professionals dealing with the specified survey numbers and buildings. A buyer or professional reviewing property in Manapakkam Village or Ramapuram Village should check whether the land falls within the survey numbers listed in the notification.
The notification does not create a general exemption for every property in Manapakkam, Ramapuram or the Chennai Metropolitan Area. Its wording limits the benefit to the identified buildings, proposed additions and extended care facility.
Practical significance
G.O. Ms. No. 229 records that the Governor of Tamil Nadu exercised the statutory power to exempt the specified development from one identified planning provision. The notification should therefore be read as evidence of a limited regulatory exemption for these projects, rather than as a general change to the Development Regulations for the Second Master Plan for Chennai Metropolitan Area 2026.
