Installing canopy or awning for ground floor unit

[Juzzme]

URA is the one regulating installation of awnings/canopies over ground floor patio, which they term as a Private Enclosed Space

 

https://www.ura.gov.sg/Corporate/Guidelines/Circulars/dc14-03

 

If the awning is not more than 2m depth, no need permission. Also the Private Enclosed Space cannot be er.....’enclosed’. Strange that they term it Enclosed Space then.

True but for MCST, you need to get council to approve. It affect the development facade. Just imagine a development with multi color and different shape awnings.

Yes it was, but it was not a patio unit.

Can by law be enacted to allow owners to build hard roofing or hard awning that are installed onto the external wall of the building? Or it's still illegal anyway??

I attached an example.

This type needs BCA approval right? 

Landed can see a lot of unauthorized AA...

Condo more difficult to hide...

don't say unauthorized lah, as long as neighbours have not  complaints,  to a reasonable extent, BCA does not bother much. 😀

Do also take note to ensure material comply with SCDF legislation and proper submission. Further to Gardenvista, aware that SCDF also inspected some other developments and require the owner to rectify any noncompliance & submission.

BCA - Structure

URA - Enclosure, GFA

Typically the PES is not meant nor permitted to be fully enclosed.

SCDF - Fire Safety

[Surpize]

MCST cannot decline application for installation to address Safety Concern arising from Killer Litter into the Ground Floor PES. 

If there a standard design, SP will have to follow that.

In the absence of one, MCST cannot reject application on ground of the absence of a standard design. SP can submit its desired design for the MCST approval. But do ensure the design comply with the requirements of all authorities especially SCDF which some contractors may tell you not necessary. But I will advise you do it properly once for all rather than having to rectify...

Mostly depends on whether neighbours complain...

talking about the external wall on the top floor? That's also the internal wall of the unit right?

[Surpize]

is within your strata unit but still consider part of the overall facade visble from external
