If the area of the plot exceeds 10,000 sq m(2.47 acres), then the developer is expected to compulsorily earmark 10 per cent of the area as OSR excluding the area of public roads and the same shall be transferred to the authority or local body free of cost through a gift deed. For such plots, CMDA insists on access to OSR by a public road.

Hi ,

In my point of view, the primary purpose of OSR is to use the reserved area for community or recreational purposes such as residents association, park or play area by the residents of the development. CMDA has the responsibility to ensure the maintenance of OSR. If CMDA is not satisfied with the maintenance of OSR, it has the right to ask the owner of the land to transfer the land to CMDA by gift deed.

Yes, that's right.
CMDA then hands over the site to local authority such as Corporation of Chennai or Municipal authorities for maintenance. It is important to consider CMDA specifications while planning the location and shape of OSR. It is the responsibility of the owner/developer to ensure that no construction is done in the area reserved for open space.

Hi All,

In my point of view, one more thing is important that, it is necessary to pay the OSR charges before obtaining layout approval. Certain layouts designated for infrastructure projects or classified under special categories such as the Archeology Survey of India ASI) restrictions may not get approval.

Hi Mr Venu,
As per my knowledge, If the area of the layout is greater than 10,000 sq.m, the owner/developer must reserve 10% of the total plot as OSR. This does not include the area reserved for public roads. In case of plots that have a total area between 3000 sq.m to 10,000 sq.m ,the owner/developer can either reserve 10% of the plot for OSR or get an exemption from OSR.

Hi Priya,
As per my knowledge, Tamilnadu Town and Country Planning Act has made open spaces a prerequisite in large plots for obtaining planning permission.This reservation of open spaces for community purposes in large plots exceeding 3000 sq.m is known as Open Space Reservation (OSR). OSR should be allocated according to the norms specified by CMDA.
