PANAJI: After incorporating a few minor changes, the
Greater Panaji Planning and Development Authority
(GPPDA) has adopted the land use map and register for the
Kadamba planning area
, member secretary R K Pandita said on Friday.
GPPDA had kick-started the process to prepare the land use map and register for the Kadamba planning area, which includes parts of Chimbel and Old Goa, in November 2018. GPPDA had also kept the plans open for objections and suggestions, which were then considered by the
planning body
as well as the town and country planning department.
“The authority considered the report of the committee with some modifications and the authority unanimously resolved to adopt the said land use map and register of Kadamba planning area,” said Pandita.
GPPDA has issued a notification to inform the public that copies of the present land use map and land use register of Kadamba planning area have been kept for inspection at the panchayat offices of Chimbel, Se-Old-Goa and Curca-Bambolim-Talaulim.
The time to submit objections has lapsed, said officials. They said that several objections and representations were received by GPPDA. “The said map and register was placed for inviting objections from the public. Under Section 27(3) of Town & Country Planning Act, a committee was appointed to hear the public objections and prepare the report, which was then submitted to the Planning and Development Authority,” said Pandita.
The GPPDA has three planning areas under its jurisdiction — Taleigao, Bambolim and
Kadamba Plateau
. The TCP department had considered extending the jurisdiction of the Kadamba planning area till the Corlim boundary in Ella village, but after vociferous protests, the proposal was dropped.
The land use map and register for the Kadamba planning area has been under process for the last 36 months.
