G.O. Ms. No. 10, Inclusion of Additional Areas in the Thanjavur Local Planning Area, 2016
The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 10 on 13 January 2016 to amend the official notification defining the Thanjavur Local Planning Area. It replaces the table in the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published on 18 September 1974, following earlier publication of the intention to make the amendment.
What the notification does
The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 10 on 13 January 2016 under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The notification amends the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published on 18 September 1974 by substituting its table of areas forming the Thanjavur Local Planning Area.
The intention to include additional areas had previously been notified through G.O. Ms. No. 153, dated 13 October 2014. That proposal was sent by the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning, considered by the Government, and directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette and republished in the Thanjavur District Gazette.
Who may be affected
G.O. Ms. No. 10 is relevant to property buyers, owners, developers and professionals dealing with land in the revenue villages listed as part of the Thanjavur Local Planning Area. The supplied table identifies the local planning area as Thanjavur and lists revenue villages in Thanjavur Taluk.
The notification concerns the boundaries and composition of the local planning area. It does not state that ownership, patta or land classification is changed.
