Consumer body charge on layouts’ approval

The Coimbatore Consumer Cause has alleged that presidents of Village Panchayats and Executive Officers of Town Panchayats still gave orders for the regularisation of new unapproved layouts when rules did not provide for it.The organisation secretary K. Kathirmathiyon said this “illegal” approval was being given even though the regularisation scheme was not a continuous process.It would not cover layouts formed or purchased after July last year.

Mr. Kathrimathiyon said in a statement that the Government had announced the extension of time for regularisation of unapproved sites to December 31, this year.The Government had also said in an order that only the last date for the submission of application was extended from Decemeber 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007.The scheme applied only to the sites/layouts purchased till July, 2006.It did not apply to the real estate developers in respect of their unsold sites in their unapproved layouts.There had to be a minimum 16 ft wide approach road to the site.The statement said that the sites in the unapproved layouts developed after the cut off date could not be regularised under the present scheme.

Further, even in the old unapproved layouts, a new site purchased now from the promoter/developer could not be regularised.“But it has come to our knowledge that some of the real estate developers are selling the new unapproved sites with a false information that these can be regularised before December 31,” Mr. Kathirmathiyon said in the statement.People should take note that such sites could not be regularised. They should exercise caution while purchasing sites. Further, the regularisation scheme applied to the Corporation, Municipal and Town Panchayat areas and not the layouts in the Village Panchayats.The Government said that as per The Tamil Nadu Panchayats Building Rules 1997 (G.O. MS 255 RD C2 dated August 18, 2002) the Presidents of Village Panchayats were not the appropriate authority to approve layouts on their own without the prior concurrence of the Director of Town and Country Planning.

If the layouts were approved by the Presidents on their own, these would be deemed illegal and appropriate action taken against the Presidents concerned, the order said.With the Government having clarified that there was no regularisation scheme for Village Panchayats, the consumer body had requested it to introduce one for these local bodies as a one-time measure.
