Local Planning Area - Trichy - Addition of villages covered under Navalpattu New Town Development Area and certain Villages in Non Plan Area to Trichy Local Planning Area - Notification under Section 10 (1) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971
The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 240, dated 24 September 2013, declaring the Government of Tamil Nadu's intention to add the Navalpattu New Town Development Area and certain non-plan villages to the Trichirappalli Local Planning Area. The proposed notification supersedes three earlier Housing and Urban Development Department notifications and invites objections or suggestions before the draft amendment is considered.
What the document does
G.O. (Ms.) No. 240, dated 24 September 2013, was issued by the Housing and Urban Development Department to propose a larger Trichirappalli Local Planning Area. It declares an intention to combine the existing Trichirappalli Local Planning Area with villages covered by the Navalpattu New Town Development Area and to include certain fast-growing villages from non-plan areas.
The notification proposes replacing the existing table of areas under the earlier Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification. It also supersedes three earlier Housing and Urban Development Department notifications published in 1980 and 1989.
Why the boundary was proposed
The Housing and Urban Development Department records rapid residential, commercial, industrial and institutional growth around Tiruchirappalli. The stated development corridors and locations include Srirangam, Tollgate towards Samayapuram, Thanjavur Road, Pudukkottai Road, Vayalur Road and Navalpattu.
The reasons given include:
- Growth around Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, the Ordnance Factory, the Regional Engineering College, the Industrial Estate, the airport and the information technology park.
- Increasing residential and commercial development outside the existing planning limits.
- Unauthorised development in several growing areas.
- The need for comprehensive planning and a more effective system to regulate and develop the wider urban area.
Areas and people affected
The proposed boundary covers Tiruchirappalli Corporation, the Navalpattu New Town Development Area and specified revenue villages. The appended material names places including Navalpattu, Thuvakudi Municipality, Thiruverumbur Town Panchayat, Koothappar Town Panchayat, Panayakurichi, Vengur, Suriyur, Nagamangalam, Kallikudi, Nachchikurichi, Somarasampettai, Vayalur-area villages and several Srirangam Taluk villages.
Property owners, buyers, developers, residents, local authorities and institutions within the proposed additional areas may be affected by their inclusion in the local planning area. The exact property impact depends on whether the relevant revenue village falls within the substituted table.

The draft amendment is to be considered after two months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. Any inhabitant, local authority or institution in the affected local areas may submit a written objection or suggestion within that period to the Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Fort St. George, Secretariat, Chennai 600 009.
