The main takeaway from the PR is that govt is starting to 'take care' of previously ignored sectors like landed and industrial.
MM crazed locales get further power 'topup'.
Was wondering the rationale of the hike on landed. Guess too many rebuilt their landed into (ugly) 4storey monsters.
From URA(nus):
Homeowners of landed property must apply for planning permission to reconstruct their existing property or redevelop the property back to a single house.
Reconstruction refers to projects where the:
proposed increase in the Gross Floor Area (GFA) of the property exceeds 50% of the approved GFA (e.g. by adding a second storey to a single storey house)
external building walls to be removed and replaced with new walls exceed 50% of the approved external walls
columns/beams/floor slabs to be removed and replaced exceed 50% of the approved columns/beams/floor slabs
Redevelopment refers to projects where an entire building is demolished and a new one erected. You can increase its GFA as long as you comply with prevailing Development Control parameters for landed housing (PDF).
What must I comply with when redeveloping my property?
Your proposed reconstruction or redevelopment must comply with prevailing Development Control parameters for landed housing (PDF).
You also have to comply with technical requirements by other government agencies. Your QP (Qualified Person) will be able to advise you on the requirements.
What else should I take note of when redeveloping my property?
You may have to pay development charge if the Development Ceiling (proposed GFA) is higher than the Development Baseline (approved GFA). However, most projects that reconstruct/redevelop from one existing landed property back to one landed property do not incur development charge.
How do I apply for planning permission?
Please refer to the step-by-step guide – How to Apply: Development Application via CORENET eSS.
The application fee for additions and alterations varies. Please refer to the Fees Schedule for Development Applications (PDF).
