DTCP Approval In Chengalpattu
When Is It Mandatory
- When a land-owner or developer intends to subdivide a large parcel of land into plots and offer them for sale.
- When a layout is to be developed (roads, drainage, plot division) and infrastructure is to be provided.
Why It’s Important
- Ensures that the layout / development is legally sanctioned, with infrastructure norms (roads, drainage, utilities) considered.
- Protects buyers from illegal subdivisions, un-approved layouts, speculative plots lacking proper sanction.
- New residential layouts (plot divisions) in non-metropolitan, suburban, rural zones.
- Change of land-use from agricultural to residential/commercial where statutory planning authority mandates.
- The layout could be declared unauthorised, you may be liable to fines or orders for demolition.
- Market value suffers and prospective buyers may be wary of un-approved plot layouts.
