Description
-
The Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Act, 2010, received the Governor's assent on November 29, 2008, and is set to take effect from January 1, 2011. This Act amends the original Town and Country Planning Act of 1971 by introducing Section 47-A, which requires individuals seeking to develop land in non-planning areas to apply for permission from local authorities. Prior approval from the Director and, in cases involving wet lands, from the District Collector is also necessary. The Act outlines the consequences for unauthorized land development and specifies the definition of "wet land" as per existing legislation.
