A draft version of the master plan was submitted to the State Government in October 2023 by the Coimbatore District Administration.
Its approval was expected before the end of 2023. However it was getting delayed as the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) was reportedly in the process of preparing GIS based Master Plan for 135 towns (111 review Master plan and 24 new Master plan).
In Tamil Nadu, the existing planning area was 7% of the total state area (1,30,060 sq.km) but the government is trying to increase it to 22%. So the approval was expected for the draft master plan was expected to take some time.
Sources reported on Saturday (20.1.24) that the Tamil Nadu government has given approval for the draft Master Plan for the Coimbatore Local Planning Area.
DTCP is said to have issued notice for inviting suggestions & objections for preparing the Master plan which will be resubmitted for the final approval.
