Proposed Thissayanvilai Local Planning Area Notification
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 1606 dated 14 October 1996, giving notice of the Governor's intention to specify the entire Thissayanvilai Town Panchayat area as a local planning area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The notification invites objections and suggestions within two months from its publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, for consideration before a final decision.
What the notification does
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 1606 dated 14 October 1996 to propose a local planning area for Thissayanvilai. The proposal covers the entire area administered by Thissayanvilai Town Panchayat.
The notification was made using powers under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. It records the Governor's intention to specify the area, rather than presenting the proposal as a completed final declaration.
Area covered
The table in G.O. Ms. No. 1606 identifies:
- The local authority as Thissayanvilai Town Panchayat.
- The proposed local planning area as the entire Thissayanvilai Town Panchayat area.
A property buyer, owner or professional dealing with land anywhere within that Town Panchayat should therefore check whether later planning records or notifications confirm the area's final status.
Objections and suggestions
G.O. Ms. No. 1606 provides a public consultation process before the proposal is finally considered:
- The period for submitting objections or suggestions is two months.
- The two month period runs from the date the notification is published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
- Submissions may come from an institution, an individual or a local authority with an interest in the proposal.
- Objections and suggestions received within the allowed period must be considered by the Government of Tamil Nadu before a final decision.
- Written submissions are to be addressed to the Commissioner and Secretary to Government, Housing and Urban Development Department, Fort St George.
The source text does not provide the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette publication date, so the exact consultation deadline cannot be calculated from this copy alone.
