Buildings Department Practice Note For Authorized Persons and Registered Structural Engineers 300
Buildings Department Practice Note For Authorized Persons and Registered Structural Engineers 300
Where vehicular ingress and egress points are allowed under the lease,
the developer is normally required to construct the run-in and run-out in accordance
with the lease conditions. As part of the effort to simplify the lease conditions for
new leases, it is proposed to replace the special condition on the construction of run-in
and run-out by a self-certification system.
Damage to Pavement
6. Saw-cut method shall be used for the construction of run-in and run-out
in order to avoid damage to adjoining pavements.

8. The AP should check with the relevant authorities for the utility
services underneath the proposed run-in and run-out to ensure that the construction
work will not cause any adverse impact on the underground services. In this regard,
the AP should co-ordinate with the utilities undertakings for the diversion of utilities
as necessary. The design details of the run-in and run-out should be incorporated in
the general building plans for circulation to the HyD for comment. APs are reminded
to make early arrangement for any necessary utilities diversion and the acquisition of
the necessary Excavation Permit from the HyD for the required works. Where the
construction of the run-in and run-out is completed prior to the submission of an
application for an occupation permit, a Certificate of Completion of Vehicular Run-in
and Run-out as shown in Appendix B should be submitted to the Buildings Department
(BD). APs are encouraged to complete and certify the run-in and run-out well in
advance of the application for an occupation permit.
10. In cases where the HyD has agreed to construct the run-in and run-out
on behalf of the owner, the AP should submit to BD the entrustment letter together
with a copy of the demand note receipt in respect of the payment of the required fees.
Upon receipt of the information and provided that a temporary run-in and run-out is
constructed to a manner that it does not pose any danger to the public or any
inconvenience to vehicular or pedestrian traffic using the run-in and run-out, BD may
process an application for an occupation permit before the construction of the
permanent run-in and run-out is completed.
11. Under the Helping Business Scheme, all APs are encouraged to
construct the permanent run-in and run-out with their own resources to suit their tight
programme. HyD has expressed that their resources are fully stretched and may not
be able to undertake any such works for the APs.
12. This practice note will come into operation on 1 January 2007.
