PANAJI: The North Goa Planning and Development Authority (NGPDA) has adopted the land use map and land use register for the Panaji planning area, which also includes a part of the Penha de Franca village.
The land use map and register were accepted by the town and country planning board on November 10 after making some modifications in the land use register.
“The authority has not received any objections to the land use map and register within the stipulated period of 30 days,” said NGPDA member secretary Vertika Dagur.
With the adoption of the land use map and land use register, the NGPDA can now go ahead and complete the process to prepare the outline development plan for the Panaji planning area, said Dagur.
Panaji’s ODP, 2031, will get a geographical information system (GIS)-based zoning plan, the TCP had announced in March. It had already empanelled consultants to prepare the same. Copies of the present land use map and land use register are available for inspection for the general public at the panchayat offices in Penha de Franca and Britona and at the NGPDA office.
