Kanniyakumari Master Plan
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, approved the Kanniyakumari Master Plan through G.O. Ms. No. 152, dated 22 February 1994, following consent through G.O. Ms. No. 595, dated 12 March 1983. Prepared through the Kanniyakumari Local Planning Authority and the Directorate of Town and Country Planning, the plan classifies listed survey numbers in Kanniyakumari and Agasteeswaram by land use and identifies coastal regulation zones.
What the plan does
The Kanniyakumari Master Plan sets out land use classifications for specified survey numbers within the Kanniyakumari Local Planning Area. The plan records that its boundary is marked by a red line on the plan and corresponds to the notified planning area.
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, consented to the master plan through G.O. Ms. No. 595, dated 12 March 1983. The Government later approved it through G.O. Ms. No. 152, dated 22 February 1994. The Kanniyakumari Local Planning Authority approved the recast master plan by Resolution No. 1, dated 21 April 1992.
Land covered
The Kanniyakumari Master Plan table assigns survey numbers in Kanniyakumari and Agasteeswaram to categories including:
- Commercial
- Agricultural
- Mixed residential
- Detailed development plan area, shown as DDPlan Area
- Controlled industry
- Public and semi-public
- Poramboke
- Coastal Regulation Zone within 200 metres from the sea coast
- Coastal Regulation Zone from 200 metres to 500 metres from the sea coast
Some survey numbers are divided into parts and appear under more than one classification. A property owner or buyer should therefore check both the survey number and whether the property falls within a specified part.
Who may be affected
The Kanniyakumari Master Plan is relevant to buyers, owners, developers and professionals dealing with land in the listed survey numbers of Kanniyakumari or Agasteeswaram. The assigned category indicates the land use shown by the approved planning document.
Coastal properties need particular attention because the tables separately identify survey numbers within 200 metres of the sea coast and those between 200 metres and 500 metres. For example, Kanniyakumari survey numbers 458 to 461 are listed within 200 metres, while survey numbers 462 to 472 are listed in the 200 metre to 500 metre category. Agasteeswaram survey number 552 is listed within 200 metres.
Authentication and procedure
The Kanniyakumari Local Planning Authority certificate states that the reports and plans were authenticated, the zoning map matched the zoning regulations, and the prescribed preparation, publication and sanction procedures were followed. The source also records publication through the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, the District Gazette, a daily newspaper and notice boards during the plan preparation process.

Common questions
How do I know the land use assigned to my property?
Match the village and survey number against the Kanniyakumari Master Plan table. Where the table says “Part”, the survey number alone is not enough to identify the applicable classification.
Does the plan cover both Kanniyakumari and Agasteeswaram?
Yes. The land use table lists survey numbers and classifications separately for Kanniyakumari and Agasteeswaram.
Does the plan identify land near the coast?
Yes. It identifies survey numbers within 200 metres of the sea coast and survey numbers between 200 metres and 500 metres from the sea coast.
Was the Kanniyakumari Master Plan approved by the Tamil Nadu Government?
Yes. The Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development Department, approved it through G.O. Ms. No. 152, dated 22 February 1994, after consent through G.O. Ms. No. 595, dated 12 March 1983.
