Master Plan for Karaikudi Local Planning Area
The Housing and Urban Development Department sanctioned the Master Plan for Karaikudi Local Planning Area under section 26 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, through C. C. (as) BS. No. 247, dated 10 October 2002. The plan identifies numerous survey numbers in the Karaikudi Local Planning Area and records where existing D.D. Plans, T. P. Schemes and railway station area plans apply.
Purpose
The Master Plan for Karaikudi Local Planning Area was approved by the Local Planning Authority in Resolution No. 265, dated 17 June 1999. The Housing and Urban Development Department later sanctioned it under section 26 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, through C. C. (as) BS. No. 247, dated 10 October 2002. The document is associated with the Sivaganga Region of the Directorate of Town and Country Planning.
Land covered
The Master Plan for Karaikudi Local Planning Area contains extensive tables of survey numbers. Some entries cover complete survey-number ranges, while others list individual survey numbers or parts marked with the letter “P”. The extracted source does not define the table column headings clearly, so the land classification represented by each numbered column cannot be confirmed from the available text.
The tables include references to areas and plans such as:
- Kalanivasal D.D. Plan and Kalanivasal Extension D.D. Plan.
- Kalanivasal T. P. Scheme.
- Meenakshipuram Extension D.D. Plan.
- Railway Station Area D.D. Plan.
- Railway Station Area T. P. Scheme.
Key provisions
The Master Plan for Karaikudi Local Planning Area:
- Records survey numbers covered by the master plan tables.
- Separately identifies certain survey numbers already associated with D.D. Plans or T. P. Schemes.
- Includes references to different parts of the Kalanivasal, Meenakshipuram and railway station area plans.
- Distinguishes some whole survey numbers from survey-number parts, although the source does not explain the notation.
- Records approval by the Local Planning Authority and sanction by the Housing and Urban Development Department.
Why it matters to property owners and buyers
A buyer, owner or professional dealing with land in the Karaikudi Local Planning Area should compare the property survey number with the plan tables. A listed survey number may also fall within a named D.D. Plan, T. P. Scheme or railway station area plan. Because the supplied tables are partly unclear and do not provide readable category headings, the source alone cannot confirm the permitted use or classification of a particular property.

Common questions
Does this master plan apply to all of Karaikudi?
The document applies to the Karaikudi Local Planning Area. The supplied text does not define its geographical boundary beyond the survey numbers and named local plans listed in the tables.
How can I check whether my property is included?
Compare the property survey number with the survey numbers in the master plan tables. Some entries concern only parts of survey numbers, marked with “P”, but the source does not define that notation.
Does the document state the permitted land use for each survey number?
The document places survey numbers in numbered table columns, but the supplied text does not preserve clear column headings. A specific land-use classification therefore cannot be confirmed from this source alone.
Are earlier local plans included in the master plan?
The tables refer to several D.D. Plans and T. P. Schemes, including plans for Kalanivasal, Meenakshipuram and the railway station area. The source does not state that those plans were cancelled or superseded.
