Power to prescribe building line and street alignment

Power to prescribe building line and street alignment:

1. (1) If the Board of Councillors considers it expedient to make regulation for any public street a building-line or a street alignment, or both a building-line and a street alignment, it shall give public notice of its intention to do so.
2. (2) Every such notice shall specify a period within which objections will be received, and a copy of such notice shall be sent by post to every owner of premises abutting on such street who is registered in respect of such premises on the books of the Municipality or the State Government. Provided that the failure or omission to serve such notice on any of the owners shall not invalidate the proceedings under this section.
3. (3) The Board of Councillors shall consider all objections received within such period as it may fix in this behalf, and may then make regulation determining a building-line or a street alignment or both a building-line and a street alignment for such public street.
4. (4) A record with plans attached shall be maintained by the Chairman showing all public streets within the municipal area including, in particular, those in respect of which a building-line or street alignment has been determined by regulation, and such register shall maintain such particulars as the Board of Councillors may determine and shall be open to inspection by any person upon payment of such fee as may, from time to time, be fixed by the Board of Councillors.
