They describe services, regulatory changes and projects that will be developed or implemented. The publication does not identify implementation dates or procedures for claiming any exemption.
Planning and land information
The Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department proposes several changes intended to make planning information easier to obtain:
- The Directorate of Town and Country Planning will be assessed, reorganised and strengthened. A complete administrative structure and long-term action plan will also be developed for urban development authorities.
- An online geographic information system application will combine approved layout plans from the single window system with location data. It is intended to show approval details, survey numbers, roads, plot areas and guideline values.
- A Land Use Information System will provide public access to master plan land use classifications. The information is intended to support decisions involving residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural land investments.
- A pilot Land Pooling Area Development Scheme will be prepared in one Tamil Nadu city where a master plan is currently under preparation. Privately owned land will be combined, road access will be provided to each plot, and land will be reserved for public infrastructure.
