The Rural Development and Local Administration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, issued G.O. Ms. No. 667 dated 16 March 1974, declaring Arcot revenue village and parts of Tajpura and Veppur revenue villages as the Arcot Local Planning Area. The declaration was made under Section 10(4) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, after the earlier proposal received no objections or suggestions.
What the document does
G.O. Ms. No. 667 dated 16 March 1974, issued by the Rural Development and Local Administration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, formally creates a local planning area named the Arcot Local Planning Area. The declaration covers the revenue villages listed in the notification attached to the Government Order.
The Government acted under Section 10(4) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The notification was directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
Area covered
The Arcot Local Planning Area comprises:
- Revenue Village No. 83, Arcot.
- Revenue Village No. 84, Tajpura, only in part.
- Revenue Village No. 89, Veppur, only in part.
The notification does not describe the boundaries of the included parts of Tajpura and Veppur. A person checking land in either village would therefore need to establish whether the particular property falls within the part covered by the declaration.
Process before declaration

The Government recorded that no objection or suggestion was received following that publication. It then proceeded with the final declaration of the Arcot Local Planning Area.
