These are communal facilities (eg event plazas, playgrounds and water features), surrounded by lush landscaping. This facilitates compliance with FSSD’s fire safety requirements on habitable space. *As an alternative to providing sunken planting beds, building owners can provide well-landscaped, raised planting beds at maximum 300mm high, planted with trees or shrubs (ie no turfing allowed). These are permanent, sunken planting areas which shall be designed with sufficient soil depth to accommodate a variety of plant types.Ī minimum soil depth of 1000mm shall be provided for trees and palms, 500mm for shrubs and climbers, and 300mm for ground covers.* Rooftop urban farms counted as GFA may be counted as LRA subject to the guidelines under the Hardscape Area section below.Īll LRA shall be designed taking into account safety and maintenance considerations.
If covered, open sided, naturally ventilated, and qualify for GFA exemption under a LUSH incentive scheme (eg Communal Planter Boxes, Covered Communal Ground Gardens and/or, Sky Terraces). To qualify as LRA, all horizontal areas shall be: Guidelines for LRAs in Strategic Areas LRA in Strategic Areas
Vertical surface area of green walls and extensive green roofs (if any). Horizontal surface area of the hardscape eg communal facilities, urban farm and Horizontal surface area of the softscape eg permanent planting beds The table below shows the guidelines for computation of LRAs in Strategic Areas.
URA may exercise flexibility on LRA requirements when evaluating individual developments affected by specific constraints. The LRA requirement is not applicable to conserved buildings in historic conservation areas. Punggol Planning Area (Punggol Creative Cluster & Learning Corridor) Geylang Planning Area (Paya Lebar Central) Outside of Central Area: Regional Centres and Growth Areas including the Jurong Lake District, Kallang Riverside, Woodlands Regional Centre, Punggol Creative Cluster, Tampines Regional Centre and Paya Lebar Central as well as commercial and commercial/residential developments within Town Centres (see Plans 1-2 to 1-26).ĭowntown Core (part), Straits View (part), Marina South, and Orchard (part) Planning Areas, as well as 2 mixed-use parcels along Orchard Boulevard in Paterson Hill Subzone Within Central Area: Downtown Core (part), Straits View (part), Marina South, and Orchard (part) Planning Areas, as well as 2 mixed-use parcels along Orchard Boulevard in Paterson Hill Subzone (see Plan 1-1) LRA Requirements for Developments in Strategic Areas Locationĭevelopments in Strategic Areas Outside Central Area, with Height Control ≤80m 1ġ Building height is based on Singapore Height Datum (SHD). The plant species sub-categories and LAI values may be obtained online from NParks’ Flora Fauna Web by searching the common or scientific names of plants. The Total Leaf Area shall be computed based on the Leaf Area Index (LAI) for each plant species, canopy area (for trees and palms) and the quantity planted. The formula for computing GnPR and the minimum GnPR requirement is as follows:
The Green Plot Ratio (GnPR) provides an objective measure of the density of greenery within a site. The remaining LRA requirement may be provided as hardscape. At least 40% of the LRA requirement shall be reserved for softscape (permanent planting) areas. Developments in identified Strategic Areas shall provide LRA that is minimally equivalent to the development’s gross site area, as shown in the table and diagram below.
