Flats and Condominiums

Ancillary Shops

A limited number of units for shops to provide personal services may be allowed in flats and condominium developments subject to evaluation taking into account the following considerations:

  • the scale of the development as reflected in the total gross floor area;
  • the location of the site in relation to the main road;
  • the character of the surrounding developments; and
  • the planning intention of the surrounding area.

Up to 0.3% of the proposed residential gross floor area (excluding bonus balcony GFA, if any) may be proposed for shops. For example, flats and condominium developments with a proposed residential GFA of 20,000sqm may have up to 60sqm of shop GFA subject to the following conditions:

  • The total permissible GPR and GFA shall include the above-mentioned shop GFA.
  • Only personal service trades may be allowed (eg mini-marts/laundromats). Independent offices are not allowed.
