    LAND parcels in Bedok and Woodlands have been earmarked as future sites for residential development, with the plots predicted to yield up to 2,000 new homes.

    Based on proposed amendments to the Master Plan 2019 gazetted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Friday (Sep 29), a site along Chai Chee Lane in the Bedok area will have a plot ratio of 3.0. 

    “This is to facilitate future residential development to allow more residents to live near a transport node,” said URA.
