HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

The Tamil Nadu Regularisation of Unapproved Layouts and Plots in Hill Areas Rules, 2020.

[G.O. Ms. No. 66, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)], 30th March 2020,

ðƒ°Q 17, Mè£K, F¼õœÀõ˜ Ý‡´&2051.]

No. SRO A-20/2020.—WHEREAS guidelines for regularization of unapproved Layouts and plots in urban and rural areas

including hill areas is being implemented as per the Tamil Nadu Regularisation of Unapproved Layouts and Plots Rules, 2017.

It is noticed that a large number of unapproved Layouts and sub-divisions developed all over the State in both the urban

and rural areas and Hill Areas coming under the purview of Hill Area Conservation Authority (HACA), are without adequate

infrastructure and public amenities and most of the plots in such Layouts and sub-divisions have been purchased by poor

and innocent people and there is no way to convert these Layouts and sub-divisions or plots back to their original use;

AND WHEREAS it is expedient to regularize the plots in such unapproved Layouts or sub-divisions in Hill Areas so as

to protect the interests of those innocent purchasers and to provide basic infrastructure facilities;

AND WHEREAS it is also observed, that regularization of sold out plots alone without considering the Layout or

sub-division as a whole will result in noncontiguous pockets of development, causing enormous difficulty to the Local Bodies to

provide services to the regularized plots in isolation and therefore, it is considered necessary to regularize these unapproved

Layouts and sub-divisions in Hill Areas in their entirety by insisting to widen the roads, improve circulation, reserve areas

for open space and public purpose to the extent feasible in each Layout. Regularization will be considered on case to case

basis depending on the NOC issued by the District level officials of the departments vnamely, Forests, Geology and Mining

and Agricultural Engineering;

NOW THEREFORE, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 113 of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning

Act,1971 (Tamil Nadu Act 35 of 1972), the Governor of Tamil Nadu hereby exempts the unapproved Layouts in the Hill
