He informed that lands in Erumaiyur Village are in active cultivation and the villagers are afraid that their lands may be acquired for residential neighbourhood development, since this area is zoned as Primary Residential use zone in the Draft Plan.

It was clarified that taking into account the future requirements, lands have been zoned in this village for Primary Residential and Mixed Residential use zones. Also these lands are not proposed for acquisition and they need not fear about it. Depending on the demand the land owners themselves will convert into residential site with due approval from CMDA for layout development.

He suggested that lands in the villages may be zoned for residential use.

All lands within the jurisdiction of the village can not be zoned as residential use unless there is a demand to accommodate future population in that area. Lands which have been zoned as Non-Urban use could be rezoned after review say about 10 years depending on the demand. Lands have been zoned contiguously for urban development for efficient use of it considering economy in provision of public infrastructure.

He thanked that now the people are clear about the non-acquisition of land in his villages. He stated that the villages were sleepless for the last one-week fearing that their lands may be acquired.

His statement is recorded.

He requested that all lands in his village may be zoned for Primary Residential use and other urban uses.

Please see the remarks in Item (2) above.

He stated that he could not obtain the document for his plot registered from the Registration Department

It was clarified to him that such instances occur because of the plot registered is lie in an unapproved layout.

He enquired about the proposed widening of Kundrathur road to 30 m.

It was clarified that the proposed street alignment for the Kundrathur Road is 30.50m in the draft Master Plan and action will be taken by the Highways Department to widen the same. When a building is demolished and reconstructed or if a building is constructed on a vacant plot, it has to be set backed by leaving space required for the road widening and also Front Set Back as per Development Control Rules.

He stated that Anna Nagar area in Anakaputhur was developed by TNSCB and Lease-cum-Sale agreement has been executed. Even if TNSCB gives NOC the registration department is not accepting documents for registration informing that it is a Government Poromboke land.

It was clarified to him that if a land is a poromboke land as per revenue records and the revenue department communicated to the Sub-Registrar not to register any document therein, he can not register it. The residents may request the TNSCB to get the Govt. land transferred in favour of it and then issue NOC stating that TNSCB has taken over it; then only the land classification as per revenue record will get changed and the Sub-Registrar can register.

He requested that the cut-off date for regularization of plot in un approved lay out may be extended from 31-12-1989 so that Local Bodies can regularize the plot and unauthorised buildings there in  and provide basic amenities in these areas.

In the draft Mater Plan-II, recommendation is made for regularization of such unapproved layouts. Proposal for extension of cut-off date for regularization of plots in unapproved layouts made after 31/12/1989 was also sent to Govt. by CMDA.

In Mangadu village Pattas were issued in the Natham land during 1996 itself. Roads are also been widened to 10.00m in the above lands. Special buildings may be permitted in these lands.

It was clarified that if the applicant possesses absolute patta (not mentioning that the land is a Natham Poromboke or any Poromboke land), then CMDA can consider issue of Planning Permission for Special Buildings subject to satisfying Planning Parameters.

He stated that except for 2 plots all other plots in Sambantham Nagar un approved lay out made in the year 2000 were regularised.When they approach for regularization of remaining 2 plots Local Body is stating that they could not consider.

As per the High Court’s order only those plots in layouts, which have been made prior to 28/02/1999 could be considered for regularization, if they had applied under the Regularisation Scheme.

1. He requested that the Master Plan may be put up in the web-site.
   
   
2. He suggested that the Bye-Pass road may be considered instead of widening the Kundrathur Road near the Bazaar, by taking the Bye-Pass by the side of the High School through Erikkarai PWD Road where Govt. lands are available.
   
   
3. He welcomed the proposal of forming new Corporations to improve infrastructure levels in the sub urban areas.

Before releasing the printed (Tamil & English) copies of the Draft Master Plan –II, these reports have been uploaded in the official website of CMDA so that it can be viewed and downloaded free of cost by the general public.

Regarding the suggestion about the Bye-Pass road skirting the congested Bazaar area and deleting the street alignment for this stretch, it was informed to him that his request will be examined in detail and appropriate decision will be taken.

He stated that the school authorities have about 50 cents of land in an unapproved lay out which was made after 31-12-1989. He desired to know whether school building can be constructed there in with permission.

It was clarified to him that unless the plot/land is regularisable, Planning Permission can not be issued and the clarification given about regularization of plot in unapproved lay outs made after 31/12/1989 applies to his case also (Please refer Item-8 above).
