The Madras High Court on Monday quashed the proceedings issued by Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) permitting a builder to make a change to the sanctioned plan for a residential township and construct two high rise towers on a location originally earmarked for a clubhouse.
First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala and Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy held that DTCP should not approve any change to the original plan without the consent of two-third of the flat owners in each of the seven existing residential towers in phase II of the township.
The judgment was delivered while allowing a writ appeal filed by Chennai Hiranandani Residents Welfare Association (CHRWA) at the House of Hiranandani in Egattur. The appellant had challenged an adverse order passed against it by a single judge of the High Court on July 4, 2023.
