What is building plan approval?

Before starting any construction work, the builder is required to obtain the building plan sanctioned by the local authorities. According to Section 47 (A) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971, planning permission is required in both plan and non-plan areas. The Tamil Nadu Single Window Portal for Planning Permission is a one-stop platform for submitting applications for building plans.
