    LAND parcels in Lavender, Woodlands, Woodlands North, Whampoa, Kallang and Jalan Jurong Kechil have been earmarked as future sites for residential development, with high-density housing proposed for five of the areas.

    The sixth site, located along Jalan Jurong Kechil and Old Jurong Road, is also intended for future residential development with cycling paths to be implemented to improve connectivity in the area, the Urban Redevelopment Authority said on Friday (May 26).

    Based on proposed amendments to the Master Plan 2019 gazetted by the URA on May 26, the land parcels in the Lavender area would have the highest permissible plot ratio among the six sites, at 4.9. The plots there are bound by Crawford Street and North Bridge Road.
