The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, issued G.O. Ms. No. 211 on 15 February 1991. It records the Governor of Tamil Nadu's approval for publication of the Master Plan for the Kovilpatti Local Planning Area, submitted by the Director of Town and Country Planning, under section 28 of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.

Who may be affected
The Kovilpatti Master Plan is relevant to buyers, owners, developers and professionals dealing with land or buildings inside the Kovilpatti Local Planning Area. The presence of zoning regulations and development controls means that the approved plan may be important when checking the planned use of a property or considering development.
The supplied text does not reproduce the individual zoning requirements or identify the permitted use of any particular property. A property specific conclusion therefore requires inspection of the approved plan and its enclosures.
