Locals have been frustrated by this. The members of the association of licensed building surveyors said in case of inaction by the civic body, they will resort to non-cooperation and will stop sending approval plans to LPA, themselves.

Hi. All the power is with the local body and even the local body will and can only look into the plans and approve them. They also should not ask for certificates and irrelevant documents as this is not their place to do so.

Yes. They do not have the powers to check the size of rooms, look for violations, ask for certificates and other documents but as of now they have been doing this for a long time now. This is really shocking for a government board.

You know what the functions of LPA are only to grant planning permissions which are of three types. THey are only supposed to check the purpose of construction, the nature of the site and the difficulty in developing the area.

According to the amendment, the government should form different ward level committees, a metropolitan planning committee and a district planning committee which is expected to comprise of elected representatives from the public who will take care of the operations and work on giving the approvals.

But you know the Coimbatore Corporation officials and commissioners are no where to be seen or heard from on this as they are still busy celebrating one or the other festival like they always do.

Despite doing everything he did not get the approval. After several months had passed by and when hw did not get any approval, he started reading about the laws and that is when he realized that he was just being misled which is why he filed the PIL>

That is not all he was asked to roam around for several times. I was asked to get a no objection certificate from a tahsildhar and asked to attach other ownership documents among many others to get the approval done.

When Kanagasundaram, a builder by profession, approached the corporation for a building approval, he was told to approach the Local Planning Authority and was further told that it was above 4000 sq ft and he had to get it approved by them

The provisions of Tamil Nadu Town & Country Planning Act that stipulates obtaining 'Planning Permission' from LPA and DTCP is redundant and unconstitutional but supposedly people were being misled. HE has also said that the DTCP is also redundant and un constitutional.

In the PIL the person filing it said that according to the 73rd and 74th amendment of Town and Country Planning Act, 1992, the corporation and local bodies are vested with powers to grant approval. But public are made to run from pillar to post seeking approval from LPA and DTCP also.

Yes. This is actually very true. THis was all made easy by a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by a coimbatore-based civic-activist named S Kanagasundaram in the Tamil Nadu high court which changed the whole scene here in the city.
