    THE Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) will not approve any new residential projects in a 14-hectare stretch of Geylang from Lorong 4 to Lorong 22 under a proposed rezoning exercise.

    The planning authority is proposing to re-zone the section from the existing residential/institution use to the newly minted commercial, institution use group. The maximum plot ratio (ratio of maximum gross floor area to land area) will remain at 2.8.
