Independent Access to Recreational Space

Each plot designated for recreational open space must have its own access point.

Exception for Group Housing

In group housing, if recreational space is surrounded by buildings and for occupant use, independent access isn't mandatory.

Playground Area for Land ≤ 1 ha

For land up to 1 hectare, 40% should be allocated as playground.

Study Notes

Group Housing Exception

  • In group housing, independent access may not be required if the recreational space is:
    • Surrounded by or located along buildings
    • Intended for use by the occupants of those buildings

Playground Area Based on Land Size

  • Up to 1 hectare: 40% of the land should be playground
  • Above 1 ha and up to 2 ha: 40% for the first ha + 35% of the remaining area
  • Above 2 ha and up to 3 ha: Area as per 2 ha + 30% of the remaining area
  • Above 3 ha and up to 4 ha: Area as per 3 ha + 25% of the remaining area
