Who may be affected
The Kurichi New Town Development Plan is relevant to owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with land in the three covered revenue villages. A property's permitted use or development potential may depend on its zoning, the land use schedule, the development control rules and any listed road proposal.
The planning period was set at 25 years, from 1985 to 2011. The document states that the plan was to be reviewed once every five years. The supplied text does not identify later reviews, amendments or a replacement plan, so it does not establish the current status of any individual property.
Checks before buying or developing
A person considering land in Kurichi, Malaimachampatti or Siripalayam should identify the relevant entry in the land use schedule and check whether the road schedule affects the site. The supplied pages describe the plan and its contents but do not provide enough parcel level information to determine the zoning or road impact of a particular property.
