G.O. Ms. No. 142, Nagapattinam Local Planning Area Master Plan, 1990
The Government of Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department, through G.O. Ms. No. 142 dated 9 February 1990, published government approval of the Nagapattinam Local Planning Area Master Plan submitted by the Director of Town and Country Planning. The plan maps existing and proposed land uses and identifies land placed in primary residential zones by ward, block and town survey number.
What the plan governs
The Nagapattinam Local Planning Area Master Plan governs planned land use within the boundary of the Nagapattinam Local Planning Area. The Government of Tamil Nadu approved the plan submitted by the Director of Town and Country Planning, and the approval was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 28 February 1990.
The supplied plan material includes maps of existing and proposed land use, together with a schedule identifying land by code, ward number, block number and town survey number.
Land use shown on the maps
The Nagapattinam Master Plan maps distinguish several land use categories and planning features:
- Residential land.
- Commercial land.
- Industrial land.
- Educational land.
- Public and semi-public land.
- Agricultural land on the proposed land use map.
- Existing roads and roads proposed for improvement.
- Local Planning Area, ward and block boundaries.
- Municipal roads, state highways and district roads.
- Water bodies and the metre gauge railway line.
The maps cover the Nagapattinam Local Planning Area and refer to places including Nagapattinam, Nagore, Nagore Muttam, Tetti, Palaiyur, Aivanallur, Andanapettai and Vadakku Poiyur.
Primary residential schedule
The primary residential schedule divides identified land into codes PR 1 through PR 16. Each entry links a residential zone code to a ward, block and one or more town survey numbers. Some entries cover an entire block, while others cover only listed survey numbers or part of a survey number.
The supplied schedule includes land in Wards 1, 2, 4 and 5. Because several entries apply only to part of a town survey number, a property owner or buyer should match the exact ward, block and town survey details rather than relying only on the general map location.
Who may be affected
The Nagapattinam Local Planning Area Master Plan may affect owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with land inside the planning area. Its proposed land use classification may be relevant when checking whether a site is shown for residential, commercial, industrial, educational, public and semi-public, or agricultural use.

The approved Nagapattinam Local Planning Area Master Plan and all its enclosures are to be kept open for public inspection at the office of the Commissioner, Nagapattinam Municipality, during office hours.
