Approval Landscape in Coimbatore
Understanding approval jurisdiction is critical before buying a plot:
- Coimbatore Corporation limits: RS Puram, Peelamedu, Singanallur, Gandhipuram — Corporation building plan approval
- DTCP approved layouts: Saravanampatti, Avinashi Road, Vilankurichi — DTCP plan approval
- Panchayat areas: Thondamuthur, Kinathukadavu — Panchayat approval (simpler process)
Kanish Homes tip: Always buy plots in DTCP-approved layouts or Corporation limits. Unapproved agricultural land (conversion pending) creates approval complications that can delay your project by 12–18 months.
