The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CDMA) has set up a seven-member team to prepare guidelines for the reclassification of land use in the city. The new guidelines will be presented in the next authority meeting. The decision to do so has come about due to several protests conducted by civilians and housing societies over reclassifying areas that have been marked as waterbodies in the second master plan. Over fifty files are likely to be placed for reclassification during the authority meeting.

Over fifty files are likely to be placed for reclassification during the authority meeting.
The seven-member committee formed by the CDMA will consist of three chief planners, a senior planner, two deputy planners and an assistant planner. The Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act 1971 provides for land use variations. The requests for reclassification of land use zones of the master plan or detailed development plan are considered taking into account the suitability of the site, accessibility, compatibility with the adjoining developments, impact on the environment, etc.
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) is a government agency responsible for planning and regulating the development of the Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA) in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The CMA includes the city of Chennai and its surrounding suburbs and is home to over 8 million people. The CMDA works closely with other government agencies, local governments, and community organizations to ensure that the CMA's development is well-coordinated, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of the people who live and work there.
The Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 is a law that governs the planning and development of urban and rural areas in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Under this act, the state government has the authority to regulate land use and development to promote the orderly and balanced growth of towns and cities, and to protect the natural environment. The act sets out the process for preparing and approving comprehensive development plans (CDPs) for each planning region, which outline the land uses that are permitted in different areas, as well as the infrastructure and services that are required to support them.
In addition to regulating land use, the act also gives the state government the authority to acquire land for public purposes, such as the construction of roads, schools, and other public facilities. It also provides for the creation of development authorities, such as the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), to oversee the planning and development of urban areas in the state.
