G.O. Ms. No. 238, Modified Master Plan for Virudhunagar Local Planning Area, 2010
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 238 dated 1 November 2010, consenting to the Virudhunagar Local Planning Authority publishing notice that a modified master plan had been prepared for the Virudhunagar Local Planning Area. The order starts the publication process but does not grant final approval to the modified master plan.
What the order does
G.O. Ms. No. 238 dated 1 November 2010 records that the Director of Town and Country Planning prepared a modified master plan for the Virudhunagar Local Planning Area after considering current and future development. The Government of Tamil Nadu gave consent to the Virudhunagar Local Planning Authority to publish notice of the preparation of that plan.
The consent was given under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The source states that the earlier master plan for the area had been approved through G.O. Ms. No. 136, Housing and Urban Development Department, dated 7 February 1990.
Status of the modified master plan
G.O. Ms. No. 238 is a procedural approval for publication, not the final sanction of the modified master plan. The draft modified master plan was returned to the Director of Town and Country Planning.
The Director was instructed to ensure that the Virudhunagar Local Planning Authority follows the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 and the applicable master plan publication and sanction rules before resubmitting the plan to the Government for final approval.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 238 may be relevant to:
- Property owners and buyers within the Virudhunagar Local Planning Area.
- Developers and professionals assessing proposed development in that area.
- The Virudhunagar Local Planning Authority and Virudhunagar Municipality.
- The Director of Town and Country Planning, who must oversee compliance before final submission.
The source does not provide the proposed land use details or state that individual properties were reclassified. A property specific effect cannot therefore be determined from this order alone.
Earlier planning area proposal reproduced in the source
G.O. Ms. No. 390 dated 25 June 1992, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, also appears in the source. It published a draft amendment proposing to convert the Virudhunagar single local planning area into a composite local planning area.
The proposed table listed Virudhunagar Town and the revenue villages of Chinnamoopanpatti, Kottaipatti, Virudhunagar, Rosalpatti, Allampatti, Muthuranpatti, Pellampatti, Kooraikundu, Alagapuri and Sulakarai. That notification invited written objections or suggestions before the draft amendment was considered.
