Synopsis

SIA DC Sub Committee, in collaboration with URA Development Control, is organising a Webinar to share the common issues faced in the plans submissions for Development Applications, and how Practitioners like you can help to manage and improve the quality of plan presentations to minimise reiterations and in turn, ease processing work.

Other highlights of the Webinar include a sharing by URA Planners on:

The role and approach to urban design in the Central Area;

– The importance and care of Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High-rises (LUSH) guidelines e.g. Sky Terraces, Landscape Replacement Areas (LRA);
