BUILDING (PLANNING) REGULATIONS, 1956
14 Tenement houses create a special problem for the designer, largely on account of their marrow frontages (usually only 15 feet), their great depth and high density of occupation. To avoid the general minimum requirements of these regulations from being unduly restrictive, tenement houses are treated separately in regulation 42. The principal concern of these provisions is to ensure adequate light and air, and kitchen accommodation; in all other matters tenement houses mUSÉ comply with the general regulations.
Part VII-Temporary Buildings.
15. A new claws of building in this legislation is created by regula- tion 46 which defines 'temporary building, and by this definition Includes not only buildings constructed of short-lived materiale but also more solid structures built on temporary permit. Section 101 and the Matshed Regulations under the former Ordinance provide the basis for the present regulations dealing with contractors' sheds (regulations 49 to 52). bring home to building owners the impermanence of the buildings they intend to erect upon temporary permit, auch buildings have been included in this claus and require the Building Authority's written permit under regulation 47, which permit may specify the period of its validity. In the case of contractors' sheds the Building Authority is given an additional measure of control in that he may require the contractor to make a deposit up to $500 as security for the fuldiment of his obligations.
Part V]JI-Timber Yards.
16. Since timber yards are particularly the concern of the building trade, it has been thought proper to include the provisions for their control in these regulations. Since, however, these "regulations are not concerned with building works as such, it is nécessary to provide penalties for their contravention. (Regulation 59).
Part IX-Hoardings, Shering, Scaffolding and Platforms,
17.
Hoardings, etc. are required both for the safety of the public where building works are carried out near atreets and for the safety of workmen employed on the site. Under regulation 68, the Building Authority may erect and maintain the necessary hoardings, etc., where the building owner or permited fails to do so, and may recover the cost from the defaulting party, As in the case of contractors' sheds, the person erecting hoardings, etc. may be required, under regulation 65, to make a deposit up to $500 aa security for the compliance of these regulations.
