The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development (VD 4.2) Department approved the modified master plan for the Arakkonam Local Planning Area through G.O. (Ms.) No. 527, dated 29 December 2000.

The Government also directed publication of a notification announcing the approval. The notification was issued using the power under sub-section (1) of section 30 of the Act.
What the plan covers
The Arakkonam Master Plan Report is intended to guide the orderly development of the urban area. It assesses physical and socio-economic conditions, examines the factors behind earlier development, considers probable future growth and sets out proposed future development.
The report includes chapters dealing with:
- Location, history and physical features.
- Population and land utilisation.
- Traffic and transportation.
- Economic and planning factors.
- Planning problems and land requirements.
- Development strategy and policy.
- Zoning regulation and salient features.
The supporting material includes maps showing location, existing land use and proposed land use. It also includes land use zone regulations and a schedule of revenue survey numbers included under each zone.
Who may be affected
The modified master plan is relevant to owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with land in the Arakkonam Local Planning Area. Proposed land use, zoning regulations and the survey number schedule may help identify how particular land is classified within the plan.
The supplied text does not reproduce the individual zoning entries or survey number classifications. A person checking a specific property must therefore refer to the plan and its enclosures rather than rely only on the approval notification.
Public inspection
The modified master plan for the Arakkonam Local Planning Area, together with all its enclosures, must be kept open for public inspection at the office of the Arakkonam Municipality during office hours. The available material should include the proposed land use map, zoning regulations and schedule of revenue survey numbers.
