Courtallam Master Plan
The Courtallam Local Planning Authority, under the Government of Tamil Nadu Directorate of Town and Country Planning, prepared the Courtallam Master Plan for the notified local planning area in Tirunelveli District. The Government of Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department gave consent through G.O. Ms. No. 2249, dated 28 December 1979, and the Courtallam Local Planning Authority submitted the plan for sanction through Resolution No. 208, dated 23 October 2003. The document records the planning boundary, land use categorisation, zoning regulations and proposed projects, but its government final approval field is not completed in the supplied text.
What the plan covers
The Courtallam Master Plan applies to the notified Courtallam Local Planning Area in Tirunelveli District. It was prepared by the Courtallam Local Planning Authority within the Tirunelveli Region of the Government of Tamil Nadu Directorate of Town and Country Planning.
The plan records that:
- The master plan boundary is marked with a red line on the plan.
- The reports and plans were authenticated.
- The categories shown on the zoning map were checked against the zoning regulations and found to match.
- The procedures prescribed in the master plan rules were followed.
Planning content
The Courtallam Master Plan contains chapters dealing with:
- The legal framework for the master plan.
- Courtallam's location, historical background, climate, rainfall, flora, fauna, waterfalls and surrounding area.
- Population and existing land use.
- Analysis and assessment.
- Master plan proposals.
- Project proposals.
- Zoning regulations.
These materials are relevant to property owners, buyers and professionals dealing with land inside the notified planning area because the plan identifies land use categories and the zoning framework for that area. The supplied text does not reproduce the detailed zoning standards or identify the permitted use of any individual property.
