Some quarters are testing the waters. They want to review the restriction on ‘development’ projects above 76 meters above sea level.
It looks like they would like to remove this restriction in the 2040 Penang structure plan. The 76-metre restriction is still in place in the 2030 Penang Structure Plan, which remains in force.
Instead of dabbling with the 2040 structure plan now, why not focus on putting in place a Penang Island local plan. Imagine we still don’t have a local plan after all this years. (A local plan governs in detail what is allowed and not allowed in our neighbourhoods.)
