In a decisive move to uphold public access and urban planning integrity, the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA) has issued a directive prohibiting developers from constructing compound walls or gates that block public roads within private housing layouts. This action targets developments where land has been transferred to local bodies through gift deeds. Developers found violating this mandate must remove such obstructions and provide photographic evidence of compliance. The regulation applies even to projects approved by the Directorate of Town and Country Planning and the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA).
In a significant policy enforcement, the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA) has mandated that developers refrain from erecting compound walls or gates that obstruct public roads within private housing layouts. This directive aims to preserve public road connectivity, especially in areas where land parcels have been transferred to local authorities via gift deeds. Advertisement
Developers who have constructed unauthorized barriers are required to dismantle them and submit photographic proof of the removal to the authorities. TNRERA has emphasized that entrance gates restricting access to public roads are strictly prohibited.
An official from TNRERA highlighted that many developers enclose entire layouts under the guise of security, which hampers road access to subsequent projects. This practice undermines initiatives like the CMDA's grid of roads plan and restricts future urban development. The issue persists even in layouts sanctioned by the Directorate of Town and Country Planning and the CMDA.
TNRERA Chairperson Shiv Das Meena has instructed officials to ensure full compliance with this new rule before approving any project registration applications.
By enforcing the removal of obstructions in private layouts, the authority aims to support coherent urban planning and ensure that public roads remain accessible to all. This move is expected to set a precedent for future real estate developments, emphasizing the importance of adhering to regulations that safeguard public interests.
