G.O. (Ms.) No. 191, Erode Local Planning Area, 2020
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 191 dated 30 December 2020 to confirm the expanded Erode Local Planning Area and amend the 1974 notification by replacing its area table. It applies existing planning rules to the declared area, directs the Erode Local Planning Authority to implement the Chithode New Town Development Plan, and transfers the Chithode authority's assets, funds, dues and liabilities to the Erode Local Planning Authority.
What the government order does
G.O. (Ms.) No. 191 dated 30 December 2020, issued by the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, declares the area listed in its notification as the Erode Local Planning Area. The notification amends the Rural Development and Local Administration Department notification published in 1974 by substituting a new table of covered areas.
The declared Erode Local Planning Area combines the former Erode Local Planning Area with the areas covered by the Chithode and Perundurai New Town Development Areas, along with 26 other villages. The source states that no villages were added beyond those already declared at the intention stage, and that errors in village numbers and spellings were corrected.
Areas covered
The substituted table covers Erode Corporation and listed revenue villages in Erode Taluk, Modakkurichi Taluk and Perundurai Taluk. Examples in the schedule include:
- Erode, Periyasemur, Surampatti, Thindal, Villarasampatti and Muthampalayam within the corporation listing.
- Chithode, Nasiyanur, Perodu, Kathirampatti and Nanjanapuram in Erode Taluk.

- Perundurai, Chennimalai, Kanjikoil, Thingalur, Vijayapuri and Ingur in Perundurai Taluk.
A buyer or owner should check the full revenue village name and number in the appended table when deciding whether a property falls within the declared planning area.

G.O. (Ms.) No. 191 dated 30 December 2020 provides that:
