G.O.Ms.No.150, Inclusion of Additional Areas in Arakkonam Local Planning Area, 2014
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O.Ms.No.150 on 13 October 2014, declaring the Government of Tamil Nadu's intention to include additional revenue villages in the Arakkonam local planning area. The document publishes a draft amendment and allows inhabitants, local authorities and institutions in the affected areas to submit objections or suggestions before the stated period expires. It does not record final approval of the proposed inclusion.
What the document does
G.O.Ms.No.150 of the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, dated 13 October 2014, proposes to expand the Arakkonam local planning area. Arakkonam had previously been declared a local planning area under a Government order dated 16 March 1974.
The proposal followed requests from the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning. The Government decided to declare its intention to include the additional areas and publish a draft amendment in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
Areas covered by the draft amendment
The draft amendment would replace the table in the earlier notification with a table listing Arakkonam and the following revenue villages:
- Kilpakkam
- Kavanoor
- Kilkuppam
- Vadamambakkam
- Kainoor
- Arakkonam
- Puliyamangalam
- Mosur
- Cheyur
- Perumuchi
- Ammanur
- Melpakkam
- Ambarishipuram
- Polur (Thanigai)
The document declares only an intention to include these areas. It does not contain a final notification confirming that the draft amendment took effect.
Who may be affected
The proposed change is relevant to inhabitants, property owners, buyers, local authorities and institutions within the listed revenue villages. Inclusion in a local planning area may be important when checking the planning status of land, but the document itself does not set out development controls, fees or approval requirements.
Anyone relying on the proposal for a property decision should distinguish between this draft stage and any later final action.
Objections and publication process
The notification states that the draft amendment would be considered on or after two months from its publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. Any inhabitant, local authority or institution in the local areas could submit a written objection or suggestion before that period expired.
Written submissions were to be addressed to the Principal Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Fort Saint George, Chennai 600 009.
The Collector of Vellore District was directed to republish the notification in the District Gazette and report the republication date to the Government. The Director of Translation was directed to arrange a Tamil translation for forwarding to the Collector.
