LOFT / MEZZANINE / PLATFORM
As per URA guidelines
"Planning permission is not required for lofts that are designed as furniture decks and serve as small resting areas in residential, service apartment, office and hotel units.
​
Such lofts are limited to one per residential flat unit and the size of the loft shall be 5 sqm or less within an individual unit. No building plan and structural plan approvals are required from BCA for loft size of 5sqm or less. As lofts are intended only as a furniture deck and not a full floor, the headroom of the loft area should not be more than the headroom below the loft."
