Just hope they don't cut down the tree along the canal bank.
Hi Grace, did you get a river facing unit? It might not be as bad as it looks to be honest. I am just surprised why LTA has not elaborated more clearly on their plans - plonking just a map in news without much elaboration is definitely not good PR skills.
According to the plans, there will be a strip of some scattered trees left. Refer to Pic 1 (Central North) below the boundary for some circles that presumably show the trees.
It also shows a cutback from the river bank to the boundary of the depot, maybe about 40m? I am not too sure what is the cut back from the Waterfront side - it looks to be about 30m? Plus the river width? Total maybe 100m or more?
The forest stretch from Opposite Faber Crest is the forest stretch left untouched.
The sound barrier surrounds the depot facing the river side (refer to the stretch darkened lines and the labels in Pic 2). Picture 3 is the technical specification for the sound barrier. I think this might be the most fortified sound barrier that has ever been built - honestly have not much experience in this. Not engineer trained so a bit hard to analyse Pic 3. I think 6000 high in Pic 2 means 6m but could be wrong - any engineer can decipher and share?
Green roof is for the main building located north of the depot. Some planting within the depot as well. The rectangles I think look like the bus lots. The whole set of documents include dozens of documents providing very detailed plans for the whole complex - too many to share.
It looks a worthy buy to guarantee privacy, but I will study the plans a bit more.
