(2) The Commissioner or the Chief Executive of the Local body, as the case may be, shall prepare a report together with the plan and full particulars of any such modification. (3) Before making any modifications to the development plans, the Authority, shall publish a notice inviting objections or suggestions from the public giving a time period of fifteen days from the date of publication of the notice and shall hear all objections and suggestions. (4) After due consideration of the objections and suggestions received, the final modification made under the provisions of this section shall be published in the Andhra Pradesh Gazette, and the final modifications shall come into operation from the date of publication of such notification. (5) The Authority shall levy such fees and charges including development charges and conversion charges as applicable and as may be prescribed in any such modification effected to the sanctioned development plan from the land owners at whose instance the modifications are effected or who will have the advantage due to such modifications.
