TNUISFL 1 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
Chapter-1 Context, Concept and Contents of the City Regional
Plan
1.1 Background Tamil Nadu is one of the industrialized states in
the Country, wherein industries have
concentrated around select urban centres of the State.
Sriperumbudur is one such centre
situated on the Chennai- Bengaluru Highway (NH-4), around which
a number of industrial
complex has been established in recent years. SIPCOT has
developed Industrial Parks /
Growth Centers near Sriperumbudur at Irungattukottai, and
Oragadam covering an extent of
about 8000 acres housing about 350 industrial units including
Multi National Companies in
this area. Besides this, SIPCOT has also established Special
Economic Zones for
Footwear, Electronic and Automobile Products in this area.
Considering the pace of
development in and around the town, Sriperumbudur has been
designated under Urban
Infrastructure Development scheme for Satellite Towns (UIDSST)
by the Ministry of Urban
Development (MoUD) as a satellite town for Chennai City, the
State capital for achieving
planned development. To keep pace with the growth, it is
necessary that a City Regional
Plan needs to be prepared to guide future growth in this area.
The need for such preparation
of a City Regional Plan for the Region is essential particularly
for the newly developing area
in and around the Sriperumbudur town i.e Sriperumbudur City
Region.
In this context, a City Development Plan (CDP) for Sriperumbudur
Town was prepared under
the aegis of Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services
Limited (TNUIFSL) and the
same was approved by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD).
Further to this,
preparation of the City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur has been
initiated by TNUIFSL.

industries and infrastructure development. Primary survey will
also be undertaken to
supplement the data collection from the secondary source. The
following are the agencies
that will be contacted to provide data for the preparation of
City Regional Plan for
Sriperumbudur.
i. Census of India : For providing demographic data on towns and
villages in
the City Region
ii. Department of Land and Survey Records: For providing
cadastral map of the
towns and villages in the City Region
iii. Survey of India : For providing Top Sheets of the City
Region
iv. NRSC, Hyderabad : For providing digital data from satellite
imagery for the
City Region
v. DTCP,TNUIFSL and SIPCOT: For providing CDP and Development
Plans
relating to Sriperumbudur
vi. PWD and TWAD Board: For providing data on surface water,
ground water,
catchment area of water bodies,
vii. Highways and Rural Works Department: For providing Traffic
and
Transportation data relating to the City Region
viii. TNEB, BSNL: For providing data on power supplied and
network services
available to the stakeholders.
ix. Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board: For providing data on
existing
environmental conditions in the City region.
x. SIPCOT and SIDCO: Data on industrial estates and industrial
establishments
and employment.
The data on population growth & population distribution,
land utilization, physical and social
infrastructure facilities, transport and road infrastructure,
resource potential will facilitate to
make analysis on the present status in the Region and to assess
future demand which will
form basis for the preparation of land use plan, infrastructure
plan, and environmental
management plan. Service level benchmarks as per the Govt. of
India guidelines and UDPFI
guidelines will be followed for provision of land and
infrastructure to meet the
requirements of the City Region.
2.3.1 Analysis of Current Situation The data collected on
various spatial aspects ,viz , resource potential, land
utilization, land
value, infrastructure, and traffic and transportation in the
Region will be analyzed to identify
issues and to formulate development proposals to meet the
present gap in services and
future needs. Similarly data collected on non spatial aspects
,viz, demography, economy,
-

socio economic profile will also be analysed to assess the
current status of the region and
future requirements.
2.3.2 Demography Analysis and Population Projection Demographic
analysis of the population in the Region based on the Census data
to
understand demographic characteristics including population
growth, literacy, age- sex
distribution, work force participation in the region will be
done. Based on the population
growth and migration trend in industrial towns of the State,
/Country, population projection
for the planning period will be made. Following this, work force
and distribution of population
in settlements, growth points and growth centres in the region
will be indicated.
2.3.3 Road Connectivity The City Region is well connected by
National Highway (NH), State Highway(SH) and Major
District Roads(MDR). There is good road Transport Connectivity
between Sriperumbudur
and Chennai(NH-4) , Sunguvarchathram (NH-4), Oragadam &
Singaperumal Kovil (via SH-
57), Tiruvallur (via Mannur SH-57) within study area. The NH-4
is the spine for growth of the
city region within the study area. The road connectivity to
surrounding urban centres is given
below:

These are the main channels of travel for the vehicles from the
towns and villages of the
region. Although roads from Sriperumbudur are well connected to
the surrounding areas by
radial roads, there is a need to study the feasibility of
connecting of these radial roads for
free flow of goods and services from industrial establishments.
At present, there is no
Railways connectivity in the region. There is need to connect
Chengalpattu-Chennai B.G line
and Avadi-Chennai B.G line for better connectivity to the area
by rail

2.3.4 Economic Development of the Region Sriperumbudur was an
agricultural and weaving town in the western suburb of Chennai
till
a few decades back. It was brought to lime light after the
tragic assassination of late Prime
Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. The efforts taken by the GOTN in
making Sriperumbudur as a
key industrial hub combined with the availability of skilled
manpower in this area, improved
infrastructure, pro-active support as well as co-operation
extended by GoTN for new
industrial investments have been attracting major industrial
units across the world. Thus, the
main reasons that could be attributed to the significant growth
of industries along the
Corridor are:
i. Facilitating environment and infrastructure support by the
Government of Tamil Nadu
(GoTN).
ii. Establishment of SIPCOTs & SEZs. i.e SIPCOT complex at
Sriperumpudur,
Irungattukottai & Oragadam etc.
iii. Proximity to Chennai Metropolitan Area Availability of
Workforce in and around the
Region
iv. Good Air port & Sea port connectivity to the City
Region
v. Investments from Multi National Companies (MNCs)
The major ports at Chennai and Ennore and numerous cargo flights
every week support the
manufacturing units in Sriperumbudur to access key markets in
India and Asia. The other
factors contributed to the growth of industries in this area
are: reduced time in transport of
products, low cost on labour and logistics, lower inventory
costs, quality workmanship and a
responsive supply chain to the market. The GoTN has prioritised
the development of
Sriperumbudur Region in order to keep pace with the growing
demand of industrial
development in this area.
2.3.5 Industrial policy of Government of Tamil Nadu The Govt. of
Tamil Nadu in its New Industrial Policy , 2007 has envisaged the
Industrial Corridor of Excellence connecting the
Chengalpattu-Sriperumbudur- Ranipet, with Special Economic Zones,
Industrial & IT Parks, R&D institutions, Universities,
Social infrastructure
mainly housing, health-care and educational facilities. SIPCOT
is in the process of preparing
the Industrial Corridor Development Plan for
Chennai-Sriperumpudur-Ranipet Corridor and
an Infrastructure Development Plan for Sriperumbudur. A Footwear
SEZ with design centre
and training facilities are proposed to be set up in
Sriperumbudur Industrial Estates by
SIPCOT in 150 acres of land. The provision of railhead at
Sriperumbudur will add further
momentum to the growth of the industrial sector. Apart from
these, many other industrial
units are in the anvil. A SWOT analysis of the region is
presented below.

population growth.
Unplanned growth - Sporadical development of
industries and residentials will further implicate
the infrastructure provision
Change in socio cultural activity due to in migration
and out migration
2.3.6 Preparation of Base map A Base map for Sriperumbudur City
Region will be prepared using the cadastral/Revenue
maps of the villages and towns located in the Region, available
from the Department of
Survey and Land Records and High Resolution Satellite Imagery
(HRSI) from NRSC,
Hyderabad. Satellite imagery such as Quick bird, Cartosat are
available for procurement
from the NRSC, Hyderabad. Cadastral Maps of Villages and towns
with Revenue Survey
Number or Town Survey Numbers will be overlaid on the satellite
map for demarcation of the
village /town boundary and the Base map for the study area will
be prepared. The Base
Map of the Region will depict the following physical
features.
i. Boundary of the City Region
ii. Revenue boundary of the district, taluk, town and
villages
iii. Alignment of Roads and Highways
iv. Water bodies and channels
v. Distribution of Settlements
vi. Distribution of land use over the region
vii. Distribution of facilitates such as health, educational,
banks etc.
2.3.6.1 Procurement of Imagery and Preparation of Base map The
visualization of the data in its entirety greatly enhances the
planners scope of integrating all factors under various
possibilities. GIS provides a unique advantage to a planner
to
prepare, combine and integrate all layers of spatial data.
Almost
80% of the data used by government has a spatial component
and what better tool that a GIS that will help in analyzing
the
spatial data for Better Decisions.
Fig 2.2 Preparation of Base Map
-
City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur Inception Report
TNUISFL 11 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
2.3.6.2 Methodology i. Preparation of Base Map The preparation
of thematic maps to be used in a GIS Geo-database will be from
multiple
sources. The basic data will be from taluk maps prepared by the
Survey and Land Records
department of the Govt. of Tamilnadu. These maps were themselves
created with the
Survey of India 50,000 scale topographic maps. Cadastral level
details like survey
boundaries will be captured from village survey maps of 5,000
scale. These cadastral maps
will also be procured from Survey and Land records department
and converted to Digital
form in the GIS Geo-database. The other data layers like road
network, settlements, water
bodies etc, will be Visual interpreted from high resolution
satellite images of Cartosat at
10,000 scale and these updates will be posted on the GIS
Geodatabas
Fig 2.3 Updating of HRSI
Cadastral map at 5000 scale Survey nos captured from Cadastral
map and
features updated from High Resolution Image
Data on Power lines, water supply etc will be sourced from the
respective service
government departments and converted in to Digital form to
integrate into the GIS
Geodatabase. Field data capture with GPS devices will be used
for updating these layers
and capturing other information of interest like landmarks,
historical sites, etc
ii. Database Design and Specifications A database is designed
with a template schema to be populated with spatial and
non-spatial
data being created for the project. The Coordinate Reference
Systems shall be a Projected
System like UTM with units in meters. However provision is also
provided to display
Geographic Longitude-Latitude values on the maps. Typographical
and other semantic
errors will be prevented from entering the Geo database by
building sub-types and domains.
Data validation for spatial and non-spatial data for Quality
checks. Spatial data will be
-
City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur Inception Report
TNUISFL 12 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
checked for geometry errors using GIS tools and non-spatial data
will be checked with SQL
queries and manual intervention.
iii. Geo referencing to Coordinate System & Digitization The
paper maps procured from agencies do not have the Coordinate
reference system
either in Longitude / Latitude (Geographic) or in Northing /
Easting (Projected) system. GPS
field surveys will be undertaken to capture the
Longitude-Latitude of survey stone on village
boundaries and these values will be used to Geo reference the
scanned paper maps using
GIS software. Thus the paper maps are brought to proper
coordinate reference frame.
Once this is achieved, all the thematic layers from the village
maps are created through
digitization and organized in the Geo database. Layers created
from various scales will be
captured with this information stored in the metadata tags of
these datasets. The following
table lists the layers that will be captured in 5000 scale from
the village survey maps.

images and field inputs for new roads, drainages, water bodies,
etc. The data on power lines
and water supply related features will be incorporated with
input from government agencies
like Electricity board, TWAD Board etc.
Other pertinent data for planning such as soils, geology,
hydro-geomorphology, ground
water, rainfall and seismicity, will also be prepared. The
Landuse layer will be prepared with
inputs from existing maps and comprehensive field surveys

iv. Analysis for Site Suitability and Selection The GIS allows
for all the layers to be combined in an analysis. But the user has
to primarily
decide the weight age for the layers and the ranks for each
category in the individual layers.
The ranks and scores will be decided upon by consulting the
domain experts and the user
group. Each layer thus ranked and weighted will be combined
using a Weighted Overlay Analysis tool in the GIS which will
provide the planner the guide to select sites for landuse
planning.
Layers prepared in a GIS often have differing
units eg. Slope in percent, soil depth in meters,
proximity to facilities in kilometres, etc. but
which need to be combined. Secondly, not all
categories in a layer have equal influence on
the outcome eg. Igneous versus sedimentary
rock for a landfill site. In the Map Algebra
based Weighted Overlay Analysis we apply a
common scale of 1 to 9 on the categories in the
respective layers 1 is least suitable and 9 is
best suitable. We then multiply the rank in each
cell by the weightage of the layer and sum it up
for all cells falling in that position for all layers.
The result gives us a quantified assessment
of the suitability of the area for various
development functions. (Fig on right)

v. Interpreting the Results The result obtained using the
Weighted overlay as depicted below may be confusing to
some. But it is easy for a use to use a GIS tool to re-zone the
areas in order of ranks
provided in the resulting layer.
Fig 2.4 Interpretation of Results
Higher ranks are preferred for the best suitable site so for
each landuse a separate run of
the model will provide the suitability zone for planning.
vi. Output layers from GIS The following layers shall be
provided as a result of the planning analysis.
Table 2.6 Output layers from GIS
1. Proposed Landuse 2. Proposed Traffic Corridors
3. Sites for Social Infrastructure
Schools, Hospitals, Parks etc
4. Proposed Drainage, Sewage, water
supply.
5. Proposed Environmental plan map 6. Proposed Green Zone
map
vii. Preparation of Existing Land Use Map Using the Base map for
the City Region prepared in GIS platform by using high
resolution
satellite imagery (HRSI) and cadastral maps of the area,
Existing land use map (2011) and
infrastructure network maps for the City Region will be prepared
in 1:10000 scale, with a
ground truth verification by technical persons. The Existing
Land use Map will depict
existing physical features like settlements, built up areas,
industrial estates, industrial
complex, open space, agricultural land, road network, storm
water drains and water bodies
etc.
2.4 Public Consultations Public Consultation and public
participation is an important component in the planning
process and it will be held with various key stake holders of
development in the Region to
elicit their vision for the development of the City Region. The
public consultation in the
planning process is necessary not only to understand the
developmental issues prevail in
the Region but also to understand the peoples aspiration, needs
and assessment of
development in the Region. The stakeholders of the Region would
include Industrial
Corporate, Elected representatives, Representatives from
Confederation of Indian Industries

(CII), District Administration, Government Departments, SIPCOT,
NHAI, CMWSSB,
TWAD, H&RW ,DTCP, TNEB,NHAI, Railways, Airport authorities,
NGOs ,Social Groups
etc. Development goals of the Regional Plan will be based on the
public aspirations on
various aspects viz land utilization , Industrial and economic
development , traffic and
transportation linkages , housing and infrastructure needs,
water resource development,,
conservation of heritage and religious structures , Environment
Protection, recreational
facilities, and Disaster Management, DCR and Zoning
regulations.
The public consultation held during the preparation of City
Development Plan (CDP) for
Sriperumbudur Town held during 29.03.2010 is given in
Annexure-2.1. The highlights of the
Public Consultative meetings are summarized below:
i. Calculate the population projection taking into account not
only the fast growth of
the Town Panchayat ( Sriperumbudur) but also possible growth of
the region in
future.
ii. To study the population growth of similar satellite cities
in India and accordingly to
arrive the population of the Sriperumbudur Town for a period of
30 years.
iii. Floating population has to be calculated based on the
number of employees in
prevailing industries and upcoming industries, and also to
identify the population
likely to settle in the town in near future.
iv. Analyze the objective of preserving 10-20% of urban
agricultural lands within the
Town Panchayat and it was concluded that it may not be possible
due to market
forces unless it is ordained by LPA / DTCP.
v. The TWAD Board has informed that the JK Tyres had requested 5
mld of water
for industrial purposes and this can be considered while
formulating the Water
Supply Scheme to Sriperumbudur Town Panchayat .
vi. Treated waste water from the proposed UGSS will be reused
for industrial
purposes.
vii. Need for the formulation of Local Development Authority for
the preparation of
Master Plan/ Regional Plan for this region.
viii. To refer the Development Plan for MAP Region the region
bound by
Marakkanam, Arakkonam and Pulicat. The same has to be taken into
account
while preparing the CDP for better connectivity.
ix. The ongoing Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Study
(CTTS) and
check the impact of the same in Sriperumbudur. Similarly, they
may also suggest
connecting corridors which eases commutation from other places
to the
industries.

x. As regards slum development, apart from TNSCB, PPP options
with the support
of surrounding industries to be examined and incorporated
suitably.
xi. Need for a Bye pass road and a new Bus stand away from the
town centre in due
course.
xii. Outer ring roads connecting the arterials from the town
need to be proposed at
the Regional level.
xiii. To have an overview of the Region and not restrict
themselves to the Town
Panchayat boundaries, as there is immense scope for the
development of this
town.
2.5 Preparation of Proposed Land Use Plan and Land use zones.
Preparation of proposed land use plan for the City Region to
accommodate the future
population and economic activities, physical and social
infrastructure facilities in the planning
period is an important step in the planning process. Proposed
Land Use Plan will be
prepared based on (i ) Demand of the future population for
residential and concomitant land
uses, (ii) Existing trend of development and (iii) Public
consultation. Preparation of Proposed
Land Use Plan involves the following;
i. Preparation of Proposed Broad Land Use Map for the City
region, that is the
location and the extent to which the land may be used for
residential, industrial,
commercial, and recreational uses in the City Region for the
next 25 30 years
as indicated in the Tamil Nadu Town & Country Planning Act,
1971.
ii. Demarcation of transport and communication networks such as
roads, highways,
railways, waterways, canal and air ports
iii. Demarcation of objects/buildings of archaeological,
historical interest, natural
beauty or actually used for religious purposes or regarded by
the public with
veneration.
iv. Demarcation, conservation and development of areas of
natural scenic beauty,
forest ,natural resources, heritage precincts, landscaping and
address prominent
concerns of different sectors of the economy, etc.
v. Demarcation of areas under military/ defense purposes,
vi. Demarcation of areas for land under water like rivers,
lakes, streams and tanks.
Demarcation of land under various uses i.e. zoning of land area
will facilitate orderly
development in the Region and to develop Sriperumbudur as a self
contained City Region in
the planning period. Demarcation land use will be made according
to the G.O. MS No.1732
of RD &LA Department Dated 24-7-1974 and Development Control
Rules of the Chennai
Metropolitan Development Authority. Preparation of Land use
schedule will list out the
-

TNUISFL 17 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
survey numbers of Revenue villages and towns in the Region under
various land use
category. Schedules on ownership of land indicating the land
parcel under Government,
Local bodies and private will also be prepared. The land under
Government and Local
Bodies will be utilized for priority development. In addition to
this, land value in the Region
will also be prepared to highlight market value of the land in
various locations of the Region.
2.5.1 Urban Land Use suitability Suitability analysis is a
process of systematically identifying or rating potential locations
of
land area with respect to a particular land use. The land use
suitability for the City Region
will be derived based on parameters namely existing land use /
land cover, ground water
prospects, soil order, soil texture, slope, earthquake hazard,
water body buffer and
catchments, proximity to major roads, and proximity to city. The
parameters for analysis of
land use suitability for urban development are discussed
below.
2.5.1.1 Existing land use / land cover The vacant land including
lands with layouts has been given high priority for
construction
activities, followed by wastelands. The criterion for developing
land for construction is based
on suitability of the land for agricultural activities. Cropped
areas will be given the lowest
priority for development followed by fallow land.
2.5.1.2 Ground water prospects Areas with relatively good ground
water potential are suitable for agriculture only. These
areas, therefore, will not be considered for non agricultural
land use. The land under poor
/ moderate ground water prospects may be used for construction
and development activities.
2.5.1.3 Soil The soil bearing capacity is another factor
influencing the suitability of land for construction,
as the soil productivity affects the suitability of land for
agriculture. The suitability of soil
types for construction is given below:
Table 2.7 Soil Bearing Capacity
S. No Type of soil Suitability of soil
1 Well drained, coarse-textured soils Moderately suitable for
construction &
present s limitation for development
2 Poorly drained , fine textured soils Not suitable for urban
development
3 Fine loamy and clayey soils Not good for development
4 Loamy and Coarse loamy soils
Suitable for construction
5 Fine loamy and clayey soils Less suitable for construction
-
City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur Inception Report
TNUISFL 18 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
It is preferable for construction and development in soils of
depth more than 2 meters. Soil
depth less than 1 meter is not suitable for any type of
development.
2.5.1.4 Slope Slope of the terrain in the City Region is
important factor in indentifying land suitable for
urban development. The slope up to 5% is normally considered to
be suitable for urban land
use. Care should be taken to ensure that drainage problems do
not arise in land with slope
in range of 0-2%. Slopes up to 20% may introduce problems in
street development and
particularly when septic tanks are used for domestic sewage
disposal. The land steeper
than 20% will not be suitable for any type of urban development.
By and large the land with
slope up to 5% is considered suitable for industrial parks and
commercial sites. Hence
maps showing slope of the terrain in the City Region will be
prepared. Water bodies and
contour levels is shown in the map 2 in the GIS format.
2.5.1.5 Earthquake hazards The cracks, fissures, joints,
shear-zones and such other interconnected openings in
aquifuges serve as aquifers. They offer potential sites for
ground water extraction.
Moreover, such sites are considered inappropriate for
construction activities due to their
susceptibility to earthquakes. Areas within 500 m of faults /
fractures and Dip / Strike may
be considered as the moderate risk earthquake hazard zones
2.5.1.6 Water bodies, watersheds, and drainage Like land, water
is an important source has to be protected, conserved and
utilised
judiciously for domestic and non domestic purposes. The City
Region has several small and
large water bodies. In order to protect these water bodies from
pollution due to
anthropogenic activities, the development activities in vicinity
of these water bodies need to
be controlled and regulated. Buffers at 50 m, 100 m and 200 m
distance from water bodies
will be created after detailed study and analysis. The area
within 50 m of water bodies will
not be used for development works as per Building bye law. The
area beyond 50 m, but
within 100 m from water bodies is considered less suitable for
construction. Low intensity
development will follow in these areas. The area beyond 100 m,
but within 200 m of water
bodies is considered moderately suitable for construction, while
areas beyond 200 m from
water bodies are more suitable for development.
2.5.2 Urban land use suitability Analysis The urban land use
suitability analysis involves physical characteristics, and
socio-economic
condition associated with the land. Basically, it refers to the
potentiality of the land for
development. The land suitability analysis designates the land
according to its physical
-

City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur Inception Report
TNUISFL 19 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
capability. The land value has bearing on the market value,
topographical characteristics
and proximity to urban areas. The integration of land
suitability and land value will be
considered for the Proposed Land Use Plan in the City
Region.
Identification of suitable areas for various uses of urban
development is one of the critical
issues in the preparation of future land use plan. The land
suitability is not only based on a
set of physical parameters but also on the market economic
factors. The composite effect of
these parameters determines the degree of suitability and also
helps in categorizing the land
for different uses of development. If the demand on land is too
high, it may give rise to a
high order of speculation and may lead to development, or
otherwise the land is not suitable.
Flood plains, river bed/basins, prime agricultural land, forest
and protected areas will not
considered for urban development. Waste land can be suitable for
industrial development.
A multi-variant approach will be used to carry out land use
suitability analysis, identifying the
areas to be used for different uses and the areas to be
conserved under agriculture and
allied use or green belt. Detailed study on the parameters
considered for land use suitability
namely existing land use, groundwater prospects, soil texture,
slope , proximity to water
bodies, proximity to road network, proximity to city / town and
land values will be studied in
detail for determining the future land use in the City
Region.
2.5.3 Growth Centres and Hierarchy of Settlements For dispersal
of future population, economic activities and infrastructural
facilities over the
city region in coming years in a planned way, the Consultant
will take up study on
identification and development of urban and rural growth centres
in a hierarchical way as
a part of the regional planning study. Settlement pattern in the
planning area is given in the
map 3.
2.5.3.1 Central Place Theory and Urban Land Use Suitability
Central place theory is a geographical term that seeks to explain
the number, size, location
of human settlements in an urban system. The theory was evolved
by German Geographer
Walter Christaller who asserted that settlements in an area or
region functioned as Central Place providing services to
surrounding areas.
A Central Place is a settlement in an area or region which
provides one or more services for
the population living around it. Simple basic services (e.g
provisional store) are said to be of
lower order, while specialized services (e.g super
maket/hospital/college) are said to be of
higher order. Settlements which provide low order services are
said to be lower order
-
Map - 3Map 3Page 19 a
-
City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur Inception Report
TNUISFL 20 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
settlements. Settlements which provide higher order services are
said to be higher order
settlements. The sphere of influence is the area under influence
of the Central Place. The
theory then relied on two concepts, viz Threshold and Range.
Threshold is the minimum
market /population needed to bring about the selling of a
particular good or service and
Range is the maximum distance consumers/ population are prepared
to travel to acquire the
goods or service at some point, the cost or inconvenience will
outweigh the need for the
goods/service. The result of these people preferences is that a
system of settlements of
various sizes will emerge in a Region. Each settlement will
supply particular type of goods /
services, forming levels of hierarchy in settlement system.
.
In the functional hierarchies, the following generalization can
be made regarding spacing,
size and functions of settlements.
(i) The larger the settlements are in size, the fewer in number
they will be. That is
there are many small villages, but few large towns/ cities.
(ii) The larger the settlement grows in size, greater the
distance between them i.e
villages are usually are found close together, while town /
cities are spaced much
further apart.
(iii) As a settlement increases in size, the range and number of
its function will
increase
(iv) As a settlement increases in size, the number of higher
order services will also
increase i.e. greater degree of specialization occurs in the
services.
From these, Christaller deduced that human settlements tend to
form in geometric shape
(triangular / hexagonal lattice) being the most efficient
pattern to serve the regional area
without any gap in service area.

City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur Inception Report
TNUISFL 21 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
In the Sriperumbudur city regional
area, there exists 54 settlements,
of which 3 are town and there rest
area are rural settlement. Based
on the concept of Central Place
theory , and studying the
locations, size and services &
facilities offered by these
settlements, a hierarchy of
settlements in the Region can be
arrived at .The hierarchy of
settlements will facilitate
distribution of future population,
economic activities, facilities and
services required for the planning
period. The entire Region will be
covered by the influence (Service
Range) of the settlements. The
Annexure 2.2 shows the
availability of services and
facilities in the settlements of the
Region.

Chapter-3 Regional profile
3.1 About Chennai The Chennai Metropolitan area comprises of
Chennai City and areas to an extent of 376.58
Sq.Km. in Kancheepuram District and 639.39 sq.km. in Thiruvallur
District. According to the
2001Census, 38.6 percent of the population of Kancheepuram
District and 57.5 percent of
the
population in Thiruvallur District live within CMA. The economic
base of the Chennai City has
shifted from trade and commerce to administration and services
by the early part of the 20th
Century. In the post-independence period, manufacturing became
an important sector and
CMA continues to be most important industrial centre in the
State. Recent trend shows that
the economic structure of the city is tertiarised with growing
contribution by Information
Technology/Information Technology Enabling Service/Business
Process Outsourcing
Industries.
3.1.1 Industrial base of Chennai The industrial base of Tamil
Nadu is diversified in the manufacturing sectors of automobile,
textiles, leather and chemicals. Tamil Nadu is one of the
leading States, which attracts more
investment in IT. In terms of Foreign Direct Investment
(1991-2003) Tamil Nadu stood third
in the Nation. The new Industrial Policy of Tamil Nadu 2003
emphasize on optimal use of
resources, upgradation of managerial skills and administration,
technical improvements and
modernization in the field of manufacturing sector and
infrastructure.
The Second Master Plan for Chennai identifies the future growth
directions for Chennai as
follows The major industrial development corridors around
Chennai are the Chennai
Sriperumbudur corridor, Chennai Mamallapuram corridor,Chennai
Gummidipoondi
corridor .
These are home for many clusters of industries that are
fundamental drivers of Tamil Nadus
manufacturing growth.
These clusters are being forced to compete globally owing to
GATT / WTO. The future of
these clusters depends on the ability of the Government to raise
the quality and efficiency of
the infrastructure and provision of enabling environment. These
areas fall outside CMA.
Regional plans for these areas may be prepared and implemented
in coordination with the
departments/agencies concerned.

The drivers of the economy of Chennai are broad based and can be
categorised as
automobile, manufacturing, healthcare, IT & ITES and
education, which has resulted in
growth corridors radiating from Chennai City towards other
cities connected by roads and
railways. However, the growth corridors of Chennai having
distinct economic profile and are
identified as follows:
i. The Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) is the IT corridor,
ii The Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road is the logistics and
Industries corridor, and
iii. The Sriperumbudur Road (NH 4) is the electronic hardware
corridor.

The major ports at Chennai and Ennore and numerous cargo flights
every week support the
manufacturing units in Sriperumbudur to access to key markets in
India and Asia. The other
factors contributed to the growth of industries in this area
are: the reduced time in transport
of products, low cost on labour and logistics, lower inventory
costs, quality workmanship and
a responsive supply chain to the market. The GoTN has
prioritised the development of
Sriperumbudur Region in order to keep pace with the growing
demand of industrial
development in this area. A few of them are presented below:

3.3 Sriperumbudur Town Panchayat Sriperumbudur is historically
significant as the birth place of Sri Ramanujar, one of the
most
prominent Hindu Vaishnava saints. The growth and the functions
of the town were closely
linked to the Adhikesava Perumal Temple and Sri Ramanujar until
the 1990s.
It was also here that, on the fateful day of 21 May 1991, Rajiv
Gandhi, former Prime Minister
of India was assassinated. The Government of Tamil Nadu has
setup SIPCOT industrial
layouts and SEZs along the National Highway-4 corridor which led
to the rapid
industrialisation of the region

The nearest airport is located at Chennai; the nearest railway
stations are Avadi and
Thiruvallur. The nearest sea port is Chennai port and the
airport is at Meenambakkam. The
town is a Selection Grade Town Panchayat and extends over 19.39
sq.km with 15 wards.
Geographically, the town is located at 1258 N and 7956 E.
Sriperumbudur Town is shown in the Fig 3.5.
3.3.2 Connectivity to Chennai Sriperumbudur is located in
Kancheepuram District in the North Eastern Part of Tamil Nadu
at a distance of 45 km from Chennai. The town is located at
distance of 34 km from the
Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA) boundary. The physical
connectivity to Chennai is through
the six lane National Highway-4 and to Tambaram, a southern
suburb of Chennai, through
the State Highway 110. The town is not connected through rail
network. Most of the
industrial employees reside in Chennai and travel to work every
day. The industries at
Sriperumbudur are dependent upon the airport and sea port
facilities at Chennai.
3.3.3 Physical Features The town lies in the eastern coastal
plains of South India. The town and its surroundings are
endowed with numerous large water bodies such as the
Sriperumbudur Lake, Elaneer
Kulam and Perumal koil kulam, which sustain the agricultural
activities of the town. The
Ramanujar temple and the tank form the central feature of the
town, around which the town
has grown during the past centuries. The intensity of the
development is comparatively high
-
City Regional Plan for Sriperumbudur Inception Report
TNUISFL 29 Quadra Architects P. Ltd
in the surrounding areas of the temple. The town extends along
all directions and is faster
along the NH-4 and the SH-57 to Thiruvallur, a District Head
Quarter. The town slopes
gently from west to the eastern side of the town. It is situated
at a height of 37 m above MSL.
3.3.4 Climate and Rainfall Kancheepuram district generally
experiences hot and humid climatic conditions. The district
receives the rain under the influence of both southeast and
northeast monsoons. Most of the
precipitation occurs in the form of cyclonic storm caused due to
the depressions in the Bay
of Bengal, chiefly during northeast monsoon period (September to
December). The
southwest monsoon rainfall is highly erratic and summer rains
are negligible. The
normal annual rainfall over the district varies from 1105 mm to
1214mm. High relative
humidities between 58 and 84% prevail throughout the year.
Higher rates of relative humidity are observed between November
and January i.e., 83 to
84%. In the months of June, the humidity is lower i.e., around
58%. The mean minimum and
maximum temperatures are 20C & 37C respectively. The daytime
heat is oppressive and

4.1 Projects Proposal Based on the assessment of Infrastructure
requirement, projects will be identified and prioritised.
For the development of the Region. The proposal includes
components of projects viz.,
Development of industrial estates, Transportation links, Water
Supply, Surface drainage, Waste
water treatment, Sewerage system, Solid waste management, and
Power Supply,
Telecommunication, Housing, Social, and Recreational facilities.
Rough cost estimates for the
identified projects will be worked out. The cost for development
of infrastructure both on site and
off site will be estimated from block cost estimates. These
block estimates will be either from
established industry standards or standard schedule of the
Government Department. The cost of
land acquisition for development will be worked out based on the
guideline values for land from
the Tamil Nadu Registration Department.
4.2 Sectoral plans: 4.2.1 Infrastructure plans Based on the
study and analysis of the traffic and transport network in the City
Region,
infrastructure plans will be prepared covering the
following:
i. Linkages including improvement to road, rail and air port
connectivity to the Region.
Travel data will be collected from the industrial establishments
and trip assessment would
be done for the proposed industrial & related development to
forecast the future freight
and passenger trips generated in the area.
ii. Formation and improvement of access road for the existing
industrial clusters and
providing suitable access to the proposed industrial zones ,
iii. Water Supply demand for the planning period for domestic
and industrial purposes,
based on the current situation analysis. Improvement to the
water supply system in the
Region would be suggested. New sources for water supply will
also be identified to
augment the water supply.

prepared by integrating
development and environment. An EMP analyses the existing and
proposed development in a
Region and identifies their interface on the environment. The
EMP involves components such as
land use planning, slum improvement, the built environment,
water supply, sewerage systems,
traffic and transportation, solid and special waste
management.
Formulation of EMP involves the following steps as indicated
below:
i. To assess the existing environmental situation with respect

impacts of development
and to guide development.
4.2.4 Transportation Plan Based on the traffic studies,
estimation of future demand and interaction with the Highway
&
Rural Works Department, a Transportation Plan for the Region
will be prepared. This Plan will
indicate links for up gradation, new links, bye pass road, etc
for free flow of traffic in the Region.
This will also juxtapose the capacity of existing arterial and
sub arterial roads, and identify
connectivity between major transport nodes such as existing and
proposed airport, sea port,
railway stations etc. Travel data will be collected from the
existing industrial establishments, to
estimate future freight and passenger trips.
4.2.5 Sea Port and Air port Connectivity Chennai and Ennore are
the two ports close to the study area. The industries in the area
use
Chennai-Bangalore Highway (NH4) for accessing the ports. The
proposed Chennai Port-
Maduravayol Expressway is accessible to the Region and will
facilitate movement of goods to the
ports.
The present airport is located at Meenambakkam, about 40 km from
Sriperumbudur Town. Green
