The Hosur New Town Development Plan (Urbanisable Area), prepared and approved by the Hosur New Town Development Authority and approved by the Housing and Urban Development Department under Government Order No. 337 dated 24 April 1984, allocates land among use zones and regulates development in a central area of Hosur.

What the plan governs
The Hosur New Town Development Plan (Urbanisable Area) covers approximately 94.1 square kilometres. It sets policies and programmes for long term development, allocates land to appropriate uses and requires planning permission to be regulated according to the Development Control Rules.

The Hosur New Town Development Authority was constituted under Government Order No. 1255, Housing and Urban Development Department, dated 18 July 1979.
