During 2015–2016, CEDD conducted
feasibility studies for the supporting
infrastructure for the site and concluded that
the sites were technically feasible. In 2017,
Site B CEDD started the site investigation and
design for supporting infrastructure for the
site. The studies are still ongoing at present.
Site A
Two doubts were raised after assessing the timeline. First, it was questionable why site A was not developed
earlier. As site A was already rezoned to residential use before 2011, it is inferable that the rezoning application
of site B was the primary consideration. As the public housing shortage was becoming severe, it is logical to
deduce that site A should have been developed as the sites were not geographically linked together. The case
articulated the complexity between balancing the need of comprehensive planning and housing production.
