CRZ rules are to be followed in both DTCP & CMDA controlled areas, but ARZ is a different story). The question is, will CMA extend beyond Uthandi ? Even if they do extend to say, Muttukadu few years from now, if I have DTCP approval for a 1.5 FSI building in Kanathur, CMDA cannot nullify it - as the existing DTCP rules do allow for 1.5 FSI in Kanathur and beyond, as long as the plot is above the 500 mts from HTL. ARZ rules such as 0.8 FSI, 4800 sq ft min plot area, seem to apply only upto Uthandi / required only by CMDA - unless some one can tell me otherwise (I have talked to some DTCP officials too). BTW, those maps are interesting - in ...maps3, it looks like most of OMR is planned to be Industrial (or is that commercial ??) + Mixed Residential whereas ECR is planned to be only Primary Residential + CRZ impacted areas. Wouldn't that imply that ECR would develop with mostly low density housing - hence could become upscale colonies ? Is there such a land use map for Kanathur ?

Friend,
DTCP rules apply everywhere outside CMA.My question was, is the layout you are referring to is DTCP approved?DTCP do not approve individual sites, they approve only layouts and Local authorities cannot approve division/subdivision of plots in unapproved layouts.If plot is not DTCP approved, how will you get building plan approved by DTCP?

I have a feeling, someone is telling you Panchayat approval is DTCP approval.Only some LPA have that authority vested by DTCP to pass resolution among secreteries.Most panchayat approvals are Like DTCP approval - It is NOT DTCP approval.Eventually when a RE regulator is in place, your plot will be like holding paper shares.
Please understand panchayat approvals should be treated like No-Objection certificate which can be revoked anytime.As long as you are able to assert ownership using patta and get co-operation from panchayat to build house, lay roads, drainage and are able to get electricity etc there is no problem.You can wish Vote-bank politics will save your interest.Most registrations in Tamilnadu happens like this only.
I have not seen any zone map beyond Uthandi, but entire ECR stretch is highly restricted zone and with environmentalists crying foul about violations enforcement is likely to be stricter in future.Read the following news links

Also, you may be right about ECR being evolved as more upscale.My view was based on my belief that commercial establishments are vital for residential sustainability esp for middle class.When you have organized development you will have assured appreciation.In a place like India where huge population is moving towards cities for better work opportunities, low density is not possible.If there is restriction to develop it will only lead to encroachment and not well planned localities.To address it, We have to spread the boundries of the city and spread the industries that generate work creating satellite colonies with proper infrastracture to support which I am sure is sure to happen.Its strictly my opinion.Kindly do your due diligence.
