Lesson 2: Master Plan & Planning notes

The Long-Term Plan and Master Plan, plot ratio and GFA, site coverage and height, flats and landed housing, zonings, change of use, conservation and the Land Betterment Charge. Read the notes or flip through the cards, then test yourself.

This chapter is about how land use is planned and controlled in Singapore: which plan says what, how much can be built on a site, which uses each zoning allows, and when you need URA's permission. Many questions are calculations (GFA, site coverage, number of units), and many test whether you can match a rule to the right zoning.
