We introduced the Electronic Development Application Replacement & Addition of Documents (EDARAD) in 2001 as a quick avenue for QPs to rectify minor amendments to drawings, plans or forms so that Written Permission (WP) can be released early.
Before the introduction of EDARAD, URA planners would require QPs to comply with minor plan presentation requirements through issuing a Written Direction (WD). QPs would have to resubmit their proposals and wait a further three to four weeks for the WP.
In complex proposals involving substantial changes to plan requirements, URA might ask QPs to resubmit their proposals. All these add up to a lot of work and time spent.
With EDARAD, waiting time is much shortened but QPs are also expected to follow up on the amendments faster within three to five working days.
Below are some useful tips to make EDARAD work for you:
