Proposed development

For development on a site of 0.4834ha to amend Block No. 2 of a previously permitted scheme (Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23, which itself amends Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22, Reg. Ref. DSDZ2103/21, Reg. Ref. DSDZ3402/19 and Reg. Ref. DSDZ3780/17). (Permission Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23 was on the same site of 0.4834ha and Permission Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22 was on a larger site of 1.0432 hectares. The difference in site area of 0.5598ha is due to the permitted decoupling of Block No. 2 from Block Nos. 1 and 3.) Permission Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22 (as amended by Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23) amends the earlier Reg. Ref. DSDZ2103/21 (which permitted commercial blocks (Block Nos. 1, 2/3 and 4) to permit the construction of 3 No. commercial office buildings totalling 68,031 sq m (including Retail Services (152 sq m) and gallery / exhibition (188 sq m), identified as Block Nos. 1-3, ranging in height from 5-storeys to 9-storeys. Permission Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22 permits the development of Block No. 2 independently of Block Nos. 1 and 3 from which it is decoupled. DCC subsequentially granted two mutually- exclusive amendment permissions (Reg. Ref. DSDZ4208/23 and Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23) in respect of Block No. 2. The commercial permissions are valid until 21 June 2028 (Reg. Ref. DSDZ5296/22), and 9 December 2028 (for that element of the site covered by Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23), respectively.

(Permitted Block No. 1 and Block No. 3 are not affected by this Application). Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/23 permitted Block No. 2 with a Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 42,750 sq m (comprising: 30,467 sq m above Ground Floor Level 00: 3,777 sq m at Lower Ground Floor Level - 01; and 8,506 sq m at Basement Levels). The Gross Floor Area of the proposed Amendment Scheme will decrease by 121 sq m to 42,629 sq m from that granted by Permission Reg. Ref. DSDZ4408/22, following: a decrease of 67 sq m at Ground Floor Level 00 and above (from 30,467 sq m to 30,400 sq m); an increase of 4 sq m at Lower Ground Floor Level -01 (from 3,777 sq m to 3,781 sq m); and a decrease of 58 sq m at Basement Levels (from 8,506 sq m to 8,448 sq m) (in part due to amendment of…
