Sir,
DRAFT SPEECH BY HON EDWARD ST HO, JP LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
10 FEBRUARY 1987
Building (Planning) (Amendment) Regulations 1987
I rise to move the resolution standing in my name on the Order Paper circulated to members in respect of the Building (Planning) (Amendment) Regulations 1987.
The effect of the resolution is to further amend the already amended Regulation 3 (1) so as to make the requirements for protective barriers under that regulation equally applicable to balconies and verandahs.

That was but one of several points agreed by the LegCo
The xa xoc Ad Hoc Group set up to study the Amending Regulations. Group has held one meeting with Government officials followed by
further exchange of views by correspondence.

The Amending Régulations receive general support of the Ad Hoc Group. They improve the safety standards of buildings (for
The instance, the clearance height above streets is increased). Regulations are updated to suit modern building technology (for
instance, the limit on the maximum depth of buildings is relaxed). They also allow greater flexibility in the planning of buildings (for instance, street shadow limitations are revoked).

In the course of examining the Regulations, the Ad Hoc Group has also identified several ambiguous areas both in the Principal Regulations as well as in the Amending Regulations
Four tabled in this Council (4) weeks ago. These are areas that may give rise to practical difficulties in the implementation of the Regulations, and therefore clarification by the Administration is
warranted.
