Independent Submissions

To clear agency-specific requirements with no cross-agency dependencies e.g. land subdivision to URA, planting scheme to NPARKS, structural submission of ancillary structures such as barriers/ claddings to BCA, pollution control equipment to NEA, water service installation to PUB, instrumentation monitoring report to LTA, performance-based fire safety plans to SCDF. Clearances for each of the submissions would be issued separately.
