Eo ee Eo ee ae Registered Geotechnical Engineers Site Parameters - Documentary Proof Introduction ‘The maximum permissible ste coverage (SC) and plot ratio (PR) of @ proposed building are dependent onthe area of the relevant ste which should be under the tile ofthe applicant or hs realistic prospect of control. Other site parameters such as boundaries and their setting out are also essential to support the area and the classification of ste as claimed. 2 Pursuant to regulation 8(1)QXG) of the Building (Administration) Regulations (B(A)R), the presribed plans for the Authorized Persons (AP) fo submit, for approval include a diagrammatic plan, with full dimensions ani calculations, showing the height, SC, PR and disposition of the building in acsordance with regulations 19, 20 and 21 of the Building (Planning) Regulations (3(P)R). Tem ‘3(@)(1.1) Part C in Appendix Al to PNAP ADV33 on Essential Information in Plan ‘Sulomissions states that in applying for the approval of General Buing Plans (GBP), [AP are required to substantiate the site parameters with either detailed lease plan of Land Survey Plan (LSP), 3. Its AP's responsibilty to ensure that accurate site parameters are adopted in his building proposal. Such parameters should be further updated as necessary before certifying thatthe buildings completed are in compliance with the Buildings Ondinance (BO), Proofs of Site Parameters 4 ‘Common proofs of site parameters may include: (@) A lease plan showing details of lot (constituting the sit) areas, boundaries and seting-out coordinates prepared by the District Survey Office (DSO); (©) ALLSP showing the details of lot (constituting the site area, boundaries and setting-out coordinates. prepared by an ‘Authorized Land Surveyor; (© Lease documents specifying the approximate ares and boundaries of the lots which form the site but without setting-out coordinates; @2. (@) Deed Polls of subdivided lots with lot areas and boundaries forming the site which may or may not have the seting-out coordinates; and (©) Approved GBP of the existing buildings with area of site shown in the calculation of SC and PR Substan before Consent Application for Superstructure s. Ether tem 4(a) ot 48) shove, which bears accurate information on site parameters, is scceptable by BD for processing GBP. Other sources of information as stated in 4(6) to 4(2) can only be taken as provisional reference tc facilitate plan approval, Before application for consent to commence superstructure works, 4a) oF 4) has to be submited to BD. Conditions to this effect will be imposed under regulation 10 of B(A)R in the approval of GBP. Diserepancies among Sources of Information 6 plans in 4(a) oF 4(b) shove shovr a discrepancy in site parameters with any ‘other documents in paragraph 4 above, either of the former two sources of documents will generally be referred to forthe purpose of processing GBP. AP should refer to section 14(2) of BO inthis regard, 1 Should there be a situation when 4(@) and 4{b) co-exist and there Is a discrepancy berween them, AP should provide the rationale for adopting either in the GBP for BD's acceptance before applying forthe superstructure consent 8 ‘After the approval of GBP, if pans in 4(a) or 4(b) subsequently submitted or other situation shows actual site parameters different fiom those en the approved GBP affecting the approved building layout, SC or PR, amended GBP have to be submitted correspondingly before the application for superstructure zonseat can be processed. [Number of Decimal Places of Figures on LSP 9. ‘The decimal place on the resentation of site areas computed in accordance ‘with the Code of Practice issued under the Land Survey Ordinance (Cap. 473) (Code) ‘will be adopted by BD forthe purpose of GBP. Under the Code, lot (constituting the site) co-ordinates and dimensions should be recorded and shown on plans to 0,001 of @ ‘metre and the areas shall be rounded off (5 up 4 down) tothe nearest 0.1m? for area ‘under 2000e and othe nearest Im for area of 2000m and above.‘Two Sets of LSP Required 10. IFLSP is used as proof of site parameters two sets of the LSP are required to be submitted to BD. One set of LSP will then be referred under the central processing system to the District Lands Office (DLO) for keeping in the DSO'. AP ‘may take the opportunity to atach relevant documents as required? ty DLO with this set of LSP.
