Q: I keep a check on the real estate and infrastructure development of Coimbatore, and was hoping that someone could update me about the master plan for the city. Thanks in advance!
Also, at a recent meeting organised here by the Confederation of Indian Industry with State Ministers, industry representatives sought a simplified procedure to get land use conversion. If a new industrial project should be developed in the district, entrepreneurs need to go in for conversion of land use classification.
Some details that you might find useful, Senior officials from Coimbatore municipal corporation and the Local Planning Authority ,held a discussion to integrate the recently announced mobility and transportation projects in the city limits to be included in the Master Plan for Coimbatore district.
Let me tell you some history about the coimbatore master plan, since that would help you in getting a better idea about the entire thing. The Coimbatore Master Plan was approved in 1992. It was taken up for review recently and the State Government gave its review consent in January 2011. After that, the plan was opened for the public to submit their objections and modifications for two months, and they received more then 3000 suggestions.
The preparation of a revised Master Plan for Coimbatore, which indicates areas of residential, commercial and industrial development, areas under agriculture, and proposed infrastructure, is expected to take more than six months. Personally i hope they are able to finish it, this time around, since it keeps getting delayed since the past 2 years.
Once the research work is done,officials of the LPA would then develop the proposed map and it is likely to take three to six months. The public would then be asked to give their objections and suggestions to the proposed plan and based on the response, it would be finalised,
Director of Town and Country Planning A. Karthik, Managing Director of Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board V. Chandrasekaran, and the secretary reviewed several project proposals during the month of December at a meeting with Coimbatore District Collector M. Karunagaran, and Corporation Commissioner T.K. Ponnusamy, and think that will help in the quick completion of the project.
Did you know that students of Bharathidasan University are conducting a survey of the land use classification in the district using technology and online tools. It is expected to be completed by the end of this month. Don't you think that's a great idea, since it not only provides the relevant information, but also helps the students in learning new things.
Hi, I suppose i have some disappointing news for you. The Coimbatore Master Plan being developed by the Coimbatore Local Planning Authority, has been delayed yet again for another six months, and will now be completed by around June-July 2015.
See, the 1994 master plan was supposed to revised in 2011, but after tremendous suggestions, the government decided to scrap the revising idea, and revise the plan from the scratch. Since there is large amount of research that goes into creating a master plan, that can be attributed to being the reason behind the delays.
