Buildings Department approves 9 building plans in November

These are located across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories.

The Buildings Department approved nine building plans last November, including two on Hong Kong Island, three in Kowloon, and four in the New Territories.

The plans include two for apartment and apartment-commercial developments, four for commercial projects, and three for community services.

Construction consent was granted for six projects, which will provide 18,938 square meters of domestic floor area (363 units) and 52,301 square meters of non-domestic floor area.

One project began superstructure works, and 17 occupation permits were issued: two on Hong Kong Island, seven in Kowloon, and eight in the New Territories. These permits cover 238,110 square meters of domestic space (4,141 units) and 53,441 square meters of non-domestic space.

The department also received 2,446 reports of unauthorised building works and issued 517 removal orders in November.
