Study Notes
Regional Plan Restrictions
- No person can institute or change the use of land for any purpose other than agriculture or carry out any development without previous permission, starting from the publication of the notice that the draft Regional plan has been prepared or approved.
- The authorities that grant permission depend on the location of the land:
- Within Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council, Nagar Panchayat, or Special Planning Authority limits: the respective authority.
- In gaothan areas: the village panchayat concerned.
- In other areas: the Collector of the District, who can delegate powers to an officer not below the rank of Tahsildar.
- The Collector's permission is not required in gaothan areas of a revenue village within the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966.
Consideration of Applications
- When considering applications for permission, the Village panchayat or Collector must have due regard to the provisions of any draft or Regional plan or proposal published under this Act.
Unauthorized Development
- Unauthorized development in Regional plan areas is subject to the same provisions as in Planning Authority areas (sections 52-58).
- The Collector is the authority competent to take action against unauthorized development.
- The State Government can specify terms and conditions for compounding unauthorized structures on payment of charges, and the Collector can declare such structures as compounded.
- Once a structure is compounded, proceedings against it stand abated, and no further construction is allowed except for repairs and maintenance.
Integrated Township Projects
- A person intending to execute an Integrated Township Project can apply to the State Government, which can grant permission and declare the project as such by notification in the Official Gazette.
- The State Government can reject the application after making an inquiry.
