New Locations Where Additional Eating Houses in Shophouses Will Not Be Allowed
New Locations Where Additional Eating Houses in Shophouses Will Not Be Allowed
Published: 30 May 2016
Circular No : URA/PB/2016/10-DCG
Our Ref : DC/ADMIN/CIRCULAR/PB_16
CIRCULAR TO PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES
Who Should Know:
Owners and tenants of shophouses, eating house operators, real estate agents, architects and engineers
Effective Date:
30 May 2016
URA and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) have assessed the existing traffic and parking situations of the areas listed below as part of their periodic reviews. To prevent the existing parking and traffic problems from worsening, we will not be able to approve more eating houses in these areas. This is also to address the traffic and indiscriminate parking concerns from the residents there due to the existing eating houses in the area.
The three new locations where additional eating houses in shophouses will not be allowed are:
Thomson Village - Upper Thomson Road, Soo Chow Walk, Jalan Todak, Sin Ming Road, Shunfu Road
Bedok Area - Bedok Road & Jalan Pari Burong
Little India Historic District - Serangoon Road, Jalan Besar & Kitchener Road
The full list of locations where new eating houses will not be allowed are in
Appendix A
. This supersedes the previous list in URA’s circular dated 7 Oct 2014.
We will renew the Temporary Permission (TP) of existing eating houses that are within the locations in
Appendix A
if there are no major complaints on dis-amenity arising from the use, and there is no breach of our planning guidelines and conditions.
For proposed eating houses in shophouses located outside the areas in
Appendix A
, we will evaluate them contextually with LTA. We will unlikely approve such proposals if there are local traffic, parking or dis-amenity concerns, especially those located in landed housing estates and historic districts where car parks are not readily available to serve the additional vehicular traffic.
I would appreciate it if you could convey the contents of this circular to the relevant members of your organisation. If you or your members have any queries concerning this circular, please call our Development Control Group (DCG) Enquiry Line at Tel: 6223 4811 or
e-mail
us. For your information, past circulars and guidelines are available from our website at
http://www.ura.gov.sg

Thank You.
