THE PREDOMINANT LANDUSE IS TOWARDS THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR SHOWING THAT THE
HOUSING UNITS ARE DENSLEY POPULATED TO THE POINT OF OVER POPULATION WHEN
COMPARED TO OTHERS

AREAS IN CHENNAI.

THIS HAS LED TO ENCROACHMENTS, WALL TO WALL CONSTRUCTION AND NARROW PLOTS
WITH VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE TRUE ESSENCE OF THE AREA THE RELIGIOUS CENTRE ,IS NOT GIVEN ITS DUE VISUALS
IMPORTANCE

BECAUSE OF THE IMPOSING HEIGHTS OF THE STRUCTURES AROUND IT AND IS HENCE

IGNORED.

MORE IMPORTANCE IS GIVEN TO FURTHER RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN

CONSERVING

AND MAINTAINING THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE ON SITE.

VERY HIGH BUILT FROM TOOPEN SPACE RATIO .THUS THERE IS NO PROPER OPEN SPACE
FOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES OR SOCIAL HERITAGE
