G.O.Ms.No.308, Modified Master Plan for Thiruvallur Local Planning Area, 2013
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O.Ms.No.308 dated 31.12.2013, recording the Governor of Tamil Nadu's approval of the modified master plan for the Thiruvallur local planning area. The modified plan updates the master plan approved in 1993, and the approved plan with all enclosures must be available for public inspection at the Thiruvallur Municipality during office hours.
What the government approved
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O.Ms.No.308 dated 31.12.2013. Acting under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, the Governor of Tamil Nadu approved the modified master plan for the Thiruvallur local planning area after consultation with the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning.
The approval follows an earlier process in which the Government consented to publication of a notice for preparing the modified master plan. The Commissioner of Town and Country Planning later forwarded the draft modified master plan and requested approval.
Why the plan was modified
The Housing and Urban Development Department had approved the earlier master plan for the Thiruvallur local planning area through G.O.Ms.No.735 dated 24.8.93. G.O.Ms.No.353 dated 13.11.2007 records that eleven years had elapsed and that a modified plan had been prepared to take account of current and future developments.
The modified master plan therefore updates the previously approved planning framework for the Thiruvallur local planning area.
