G.O. Ms. No. 643, Local Planning Area Declaration, 1974
The Government of Tamil Nadu, through the department printed as the F.D. and L.A. (Town and Country Planning) Department, issued Government Order, G.O. Ms. No. 643, dated 16 March 1974, declaring the local areas listed in its appended notification to be a local planning area under Section 10(4) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The supplied text does not include the appended table, so it does not provide the name or boundaries of the declared local planning area.
What the document does
Government Order, G.O. Ms. No. 643, dated 16 March 1974, was issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu through the department printed as the F.D. and L.A. (Town and Country Planning) Department. It declares the local areas specified in column 3 of a table attached to the order to be a local planning area, using the name shown in column 2 of that table.
The declaration was made under Section 10(4) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The appended notification was directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
Procedure recorded
Government Order, G.O. Ms. No. 643 records the steps taken before the declaration:
- An earlier proposal stated the Government's intention to declare specified local areas as a local planning area.
- The proposal also referred to constituting a local planning authority for that area.
- The proposal was published on page 565 of Part II of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 12 November 1973.
- Publication was for general information under Section 10(3) of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
- No objection or suggestion was received.
- The Government then made the local planning area declaration.
Who may be affected
Government Order, G.O. Ms. No. 643 may affect landowners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with property inside the local areas listed in the appended table. The supplied pages do not reproduce that table, so they cannot be used alone to confirm whether a particular survey number, village or property falls within the declared area.
Anyone checking a property's planning status would need the appended notification, including columns 2 and 3, to identify the area's official name and the local areas included.
Important limitation
Government Order, G.O. Ms. No. 643 refers to an appended notification and table, but neither is present in the supplied source text. The source therefore confirms that a local planning area was declared, but it does not provide the declaration's complete geographic coverage.
