\nThere has been an increase in applications from developers for more units to be built on en bloc sites, which could cause traffic problems in future.
\nResidential and commercial en bloc redevelopment proposals must now include a pre-application feasibility study (PAFS) to assess traffic impact and recommend car-lite measures, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said in a circular published on Monday (13 November).
\nThis follows an increase in applications from developers for more housing units to be built on such sites, which could cause traffic problems in future.
\nEffective immediately, developers or property agencies acting on behalf of collective sales committees must submit a PAFS to LTA for evaluation and approval before submitting an outline application or development application to URA.
\nThe study, which is applicable to sites zoned residential, residential with commercial at 1st storey and commercial & residential, is not required for proposals approved before 13 November.
\nInterested parties will need to engage an experienced traffic consultant to assess the estimated number of units that can be built, impact of traffic on nearby junctions, and propose car-lite initiatives, traffic demand management measures and\/or feasible transport improvement plans, such as setting aside land for road widening.
\n\u201cFrom a planning and transport perspective, the significant increase in dwelling units may cause a strain on the existing road network of an area, and may lead to congestion and disamenities for residents,\u201d said LTA and URA.
\n\u201cThere will be the need to consider how the redevelopment can bring changes to our physical environment in a manner that is more sustainable and aligned with our vision for a more liveable and car-lite city.\u201d
\nThe study will also reduce the need to revise development plans and expedite the approval process.
\nLTA and URA will continue to monitor and assess if there is a need to extend the PAFS to other types of developments in future.
