G.O. (Ms.) No. 157, Vellakoil Local Planning Area, 2015
The Housing and Urban Development Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 157, dated 16 December 2015, declaring the area comprising Vellakoil Second Grade Municipality as the Vellakoil local planning area under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The declaration confirms an intention previously published by the Government after the Director of Town and Country Planning reported that no public objections or suggestions had been received.
What the government order does
G.O. (Ms.) No. 157 of the Housing and Urban Development Department formally declares the entire area comprising Vellakoil Second Grade Municipality to be the Vellakoil local planning area. The declaration was made under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 and was to be published in the next issue of the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
The declaration follows an earlier Government decision to announce its intention to specify Vellakoil Second Grade Municipality as a local planning area. That intention was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette dated 10 July 2013 and the Tiruppur District Gazette dated 18 May 2014.
Area covered
The notification identifies the covered area by its municipal boundary rather than by individual survey numbers or property descriptions.
Key points are:
- The whole area comprising Vellakoil Second Grade Municipality is included.
- The declared planning area is named the Vellakoil local planning area.
- The notification does not list individual villages, streets, wards or survey numbers.
- The document does not change or describe the ownership of any land.
Decision process
The Director of Town and Country Planning informed the Government that no objections or suggestions had been received from the public regarding the proposed declaration. The Director then requested confirmation of the notification.
After examining that proposal, the Government accepted it and issued the final declaration. The notification states that the required intention had previously been published before the area was formally declared.
Who may be affected
Property buyers, owners and professionals dealing with land within Vellakoil Second Grade Municipality should be aware that the municipal area has been formally placed within the Vellakoil local planning area. The document itself only establishes the planning area.
G.O. (Ms.) No. 157 does not provide land use classifications, development conditions, building requirements, charges or property specific restrictions. Anyone checking how the planning declaration applies to a particular property would therefore need property specific planning records or other applicable documents, which are not included in the supplied notification.
