the following

“6. For new purely commercial

development, or where the development is solely a

mix of commercial and social/cultural/educational/

Development Permit Fee and Environment Fee

for the site area shall be charged separately at the

being increased in relation to proposed extensions

would also be so charged separately;”;

(ii) paragraph 10 thereof shall be substituted with

the following

“10. (1) The rate regulating the Change of

for change of use is covered by a compliance

certificate;

rate, over and above the rate for alterations.

(4) When more than 75% of an existing unit

is proposed to be demolished and the construction

of new buildings or structures on site is also

be considered as an extension to the part of the

Permit Fee and Environment Fee paid in the

original application shall be deducted from the fees

due in relation to the new application.”.
