Arcot Declaration of Local Planning Area, Preliminary Notification
The Rural Development and Local Administration Department issued Government Order (Ms.) Number 2046, with no order date stated in the supplied text, proposing to declare Arcot and specified adjoining village areas as the Arcot Local Planning Area and to constitute a local planning authority. The preliminary notification covers Revenue Village Number 83 Arcot, part of Revenue Village Number 84 Tajpura and part of Revenue Village Number 89 Veppur, and provides a two month period after Gazette publication for objections or suggestions.
Purpose
Government Order (Ms.) Number 2046 of the Rural Development and Local Administration Department is a preliminary notification concerning the proposed Arcot Local Planning Area. The order date is not stated in the supplied text. The order records the Government's intention to declare the listed areas as a local planning area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, and proposes the constitution of a local planning authority for that area.
Area covered
The proposed Arcot Local Planning Area consists of:
- Revenue Village Number 83, Arcot.
- Part of Revenue Village Number 84, Tajpura.
- Part of Revenue Village Number 89, Veppur.
The notification does not describe the boundaries of the parts of Tajpura and Veppur. A property buyer or owner would therefore need to establish whether a particular property falls within the included part.
Who may be affected
The Arcot preliminary notification is relevant to inhabitants, property owners, buyers, local authorities and institutions within the listed areas. Its immediate purpose is to begin the process of specifying the area as a local planning area. The supplied text does not set out particular development restrictions, land use classifications, rates or fees.
Publication and objections
Government Order (Ms.) Number 2046 directs publication of the preliminary notification in English in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. It also directs republication in English and Tamil in the North Arcot District Gazette.
Key procedural provisions are:
- The proposal is to be considered again on or after two months from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
- Any inhabitant, local authority or institution in the proposed local planning area may submit an objection or suggestion within that period.
