petro pump also not bad. can easily get a car wash.
helps to brighten up the place at nite.
a mall should be build at the end of petir and dairy farm road, the place where they park the trailers now. motorist from BKE can spot it easily and drop by for meal. this is a very good spot to keep a mall alive.

Petrol pump location is regulated for a very good reason.
Newbie
The guidelines do not seemed to be adhered in most cases, wonder why...
Senior
Something to do with going against the major investors and lack of land to implement?
Junior
those mark with "E" must be the schools.

this is a good development, not sure about the pricing but looking at the presentation, well done....big plot of land with lots of nature around. SHIOK!
like it, seems like good place for retirement as well. But the only worry is that surounding would also be flooded with developments like now in those Punggol & Pasir ris area...

the TOP timimg not right because there is still construction work next to it. dust still flying around and also the newly paintwork will be badly affected. this has to be carry on for about 2 years....too bad most of the trees along here would be gone soon.....
Newbie
...hopefully the piling is done by TH TOP.......and hope the entrance is on main rd.....but not likely...looking at the terrain. Looks like TH is gonna be dwarfed by both Foresque and Setia.....one on higher sloping ground, and the other on "stilettos"

Upper Bt Timah residents, authorities reach compromise over land devt
SINGAPORE: Residents of Dairy Farm, Chestnut and Petir Road have reached an initial compromise with authorities over the development of a parcel of forest land.
The area's MP Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said the consultation process is an example of "the way forward" where "plans are shared in advance, views are heard, constructive suggestions are made, and then incorporated into plans".
Dr Balakrishnan, as well as representatives from the Urban Redevelopment Authority and the Land Transport Authority, met some 200 residents at a dialogue session on Saturday.
The dialogue session was a culmination of four months of intense planning, consultation and meetings. The session lasted for two-and-a-half hours.
The issue for the gathering - the future plans for a 1.86-hectare of forest land between Dairy Farm Estate and Petir Road.
In March, the residents found out that the URA was going to put up the land for sale in June.
Some questioned the need to develop an area that over the years had been reclaimed by nature.
"We have a piece of land that over the last 40 years or so was reclaimed by nature. There are plenty of areas around Singapore that are abandoned industrial estates. I'm asking, why do you have to start the development...that particular plot of land that is fully forested now, instead of taking some of the wasteland that the development and progress has created today," asked a resident.
Others spoke of the need to preserve Singapore's natural areas to leave behind a legacy for future generations.
But instead of merely voicing their grouses, residents presented authorities with a detailed proposal, highlighting what authorities should consider when putting up the land for sale.
Among them - placing restrictions on the height of the development so as to not block the pristine views of the many low-rise housing and reviewing a proposal to extend a road along Jalan Pakis that may cut into a popular canal and jogging trail.
The months of planning and engaging authorities seemed to have paid off.
URA's deputy director of physical planning, Lim Teck Leong, shared one proposal that was incorporated into the plans.
He said: "Storey-height control will be one of the requirements. We intend to cap the storey-height between five to 15 (storeys)."
Authorities added they would also shelve plans to extend the road along Jalan Pakis, for now.
The URA said it would relocate the development of a commercial site from along Dairy Farm Road to Petir Road, after residents said the development would cause heavy congestion.
Dr Balakrishnan said the forest area in question had been part of the government's development plans for decades. He added authorities made sure the plot was not an encroachment of reserve area.
"We make long-term plans, and in Singapore, the PAP's long-term plans are for 50 to 100 years. For decades, we have already convinced ourselves that we would preserve nature reserve. We said we will confine our future development to areas outside the nature reserve," said Dr Balakrishnan.
Still, he assured residents that their views will be heard, and commended them for coming up with solutions.
Dr Balakrishnan said: "People were not just posturing. People were actively looking for solutions, for improvements. You can't get everything that you want, but you can make it better."
Resident Kevin Kho agreed, saying: "This consultative approach, this engagement from the ground is the way forward. We want to be part of our own nation-building."
Dr Balakrishnan said there will be continued engagement with residents.
