G.O. (Ms.) No. 3, Chengalpattu Composite Local Planning Area, 2017
The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 3, dated 3 January 2017, confirming additional areas as part of the Chengalpattu Composite Local Planning Area. It amends the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published on 17 April 1974 by replacing its table of areas.
What it does
The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 3, dated 3 January 2017, to confirm the expansion of the Chengalpattu local planning area. The Government declares the places listed in the appended notification to be the Chengalpattu Composite Local Planning Area.
The notification amends the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published on 17 April 1974. It replaces the earlier table with a new table identifying the local planning area and the included municipalities, town panchayat and revenue villages.
How the expansion was confirmed
The Government had previously notified its intention to include additional areas. That notice was published in Part II, Section 2 of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 30 July 2014 and in the Kancheepuram District Gazette dated 19 March 2015 for public information.
The Commissioner of Town and Country Planning reported that no objections or suggestions were received from the public. After examining the proposal, the Government accepted it and confirmed the listed areas as the Chengalpattu Composite Local Planning Area.
