Study Team (Vol3 StudyTeam)
The Master Plan Unit of CMDA issued the Study Team pages to identify the officials, staff and specialist committees involved in master plan work, data collection, mapping, translation and review of objections and suggestions. The pages do not set out land use classifications, development regulations or property specific decisions.
What the document covers
The Study Team pages issued by the Master Plan Unit of CMDA record the people and groups involved in preparing and reviewing master plan material. They are attribution and process information rather than a statement of planning controls.
The listed work involved:
- Master plan preparation by chief, senior and assistant planners, planning assistants and support staff.
- Support for data collection and Tamil translation from officials and staff in different CMDA divisions.
- Geographic information system work using Arc Info, ENVI, Auto Cad and Auto Cad Map 3D.
- Aerial data from Ikonos for 2001, 2003 and 2004 at 1 metre resolution, and Cartosat for 2005 at 2.5 metre resolution.
- Support from Traffic and Transportation staff.
Committees and review subjects
CMDA lists committees that examined objections and suggestions and made recommendations. The review subjects were:
- Land use.
- Transport.
- Development regulations.
- Water supply and drainage.
- Solid waste management.
- Housing.
- Environment.
- Editorial advice.
Committee members came from CMDA and organisations or fields including the Directorate of Town and Country Planning, Commissionerate of Municipal Administration, Highways Department, Anna University, Metropolitan Transport Corporation, Public Works Department, Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Corporation of Chennai, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, Directorate of Town Panchayats, Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board and Tamil Nadu Housing Board. Architects, engineers, academics and civic or environmental representatives were also included.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
The Study Team pages may help a buyer, owner or professional understand who contributed to the master plan process and which committees considered land use, transport, housing, infrastructure and environmental issues. However, these pages do not identify any survey number, property, planning zone or permitted development.
The pages also do not reproduce the objections, suggestions or committee recommendations. A reader seeking the planning status or development conditions for a particular property would not find that information in this document extract.

Common questions

Does it contain development regulations for construction?
No development regulation is reproduced. It lists a Committee on Development Regulations and its members.
Were public objections and suggestions considered?
The document says committees examined objections and suggestions and made recommendations. It does not provide the objections, suggestions or recommendations themselves.
