(1) Whenever the Board is of opinion that it is expedient and for the public advantage to control and provide for the future expansion or development of the City, the Board may frame a scheme to be called a "town expansion scheme". (2) Such scheme shall ordinarily be framed in respect of an area wholly without the limits of the City, but may, in special circumstances and with the previous sanction of the government, be framed in respect of an area which lies wholly within, or partly within and partly without, the City: Provided that the Government shall, before giving their sanction to any such scheme, satisfy themselves that a development scheme under section 41 in respect of the area would not be suitable. (3) Such scheme shall specify the proposed lay-out of the area to be developed and the purposes for which particular portions thereof are to be utilized. (4) The provision of clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 51 shall not apply to a town expansion scheme under this section, but the Board shall be required to supply to the Government such details as they may consider necessary. (5) After any such scheme has been notified under section 53, no person shall, without the permission of the Board, erect, re-erect, and to or alter any building or wall within the area comprised in the scheme. (6) If the Board refuses to grant permission to any person to erect, re-erect, add to, or alter any building or wall on his land in the area aforesaid and does not proceed to acquire such land within one year from the date of such refusal, the Board shall pay reasonable compensation to such person for any damage sustained by him in consequence of such refusal. (7) Nothing contained in his section shall be deemed to authorize the framing of a town expansion scheme in respect of any area without the limits of the City unless the provisions of this section have been applied to such area in pursuance of section 1, sub-section (2).
