Landed housing plot ratio

[arowana 2]

Dear all,

Not sure if you all notice this also. I see many property listings where the plot ratio rule is not adhered to. Granted i'm not sure exactly of the official plot ratios of all the listings on URA website but assuming we use a base ratio of 1.4. Most listings have overshot this number by quite abit in terms of their GFA built up.

So is their current house illegally reconstructed/rebuilt? Or am i missing something here?

Is the plot ratio a strict rule which BCA will check and follow? Am refering for regular landed housing, not strata titled landed.

 

Thx,

I learnt that plot ratio doesn't matter for landed housing. Only floor height n overall restriction on number of floors matter. And of course the min setbacks for the front, back n side.

arowana is right. plot ratio is not relevant for landed residential.
