area of 3,767 sqft and built-up area of either 2,861 sqft and 2,787 sqft. It was
completed in 2015. Phase 3 is called Sanctuary Residence. It has 216 units of 2-
storey semi-detached houses and 2-storey bungalows. Phase 4 is called
Sanctuary Ridge. It offers 208 units of 2-storey link semi-detached and 2-storey
semi-detached houses, with built up area of 1,983 sqft and 1,898 sqft. Phase 5
involves two blocks of low-cost flats called Sanctuary Court. Phase 6 involves a
row of commercial lots called Sanctuary Row.

To get planning approval from the local planning authority (PBPT) and to
present a thorough justification for the proposed building of gated and guarded
concept dwelling at the site, this Development Proposal Report was prepared.
Additionally, it seeks to examine the idea of development and its applicability or
viability in terms of town planning, as well as to ensure that planning principles and
development factors are given full consideration to create a welcoming, alluring,
and prosperous environment for all parties.
2.3 CONCEPT AND JUSTIFICATION

The development proposal aims to create sustainable urban growth with the
highest quality of social living, comfort, and environment prospects to its population.
The concept of “Sustainable City” is designed to address social, environment and
economic impact through urban planning and city management and achieve by
building eco-friendly alternatives into city infrastructure. To achieve the theme of
city that should remain in their sate in sustainable that designed to address social,
environment and economic impact through urban planning and city management,
it must reserve negative impact of urbanization by consuming fewer resources,
fighting climate change, reducing greenhouse gases, creating a sense of place. By
introducing five of the main goals namely which are sustainable urban transport,
nature-based solutions, support urban disaster resilience, improve urban
neighbourhood and 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle), there have a lot of action have
been taken to achieve the goals, such as eco-friendly practices, green spaces and
supporting technology, reduce air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions, enhance
air quality, and protect natural resources.

3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
3.1 KEY PLAN
Figure 1: Key Plan
Penang (Malay: Pulau Pinang) is a Malaysian state on Peninsular Malaysia's

northwest coast, bordered by the Malacca Strait. It is divided into two parts: Penang
Island, which contains the capital city of George Town, and Seberang Perai on the
Malay Peninsula. They are linked by Malaysia's two largest road bridges, the
Penang Bridge and the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge, which is also
Southeast Asia's second longest oversea bridge. Penang is Malaysia's
secondsmallest state by land area, surrounded by Kedah to the north and east,
and Perak to the south.

4.3 JUSTIFICATION
According to PDC, the 8.21 acres of land that make up the proposed development
site on Lot 1782, Mukim 14, Bukit Mertajam, Seberang Perai Tengah, Pulau Pinang,
meet the standards for development and feasibility. Because of the residential
neighbourhood, such as Taman Impian Indah and Taman Santuari, are located
around this site, the population and environment of the neighbouring inhabitants
will make the proposed site more appealing for development projects thanks to the
favourable environment.
The higher number of residents surrounding the site give more opportunity and
potential to the development. This is a chance to increase the popularity of the
proposed development by providing a condominium development to the local
community. In addition, Draf Perancangan Tempatan Seberang Perai has taken
account the forecast until 2030. The forecast show that the population in Central
Seberang Perai will increase from 509,000 people in 2020 to 574,200 people in
2030. The demographics factors and these housing developments nearby will
enhance the visiting level and its volume to the well-developed proposed site.
4.4 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

In order to learn more about the local economic and social opinions on the
proposed development project, a list of official documents that will be consulted for
this project is shown. These documents will be used to conduct analysis on the
current market, demand, and supply for condominium development in central
Seberang Perai as well as the current policies and regulations of the proposed
development site. The following documents are included:
i. Structure Plan of Penang
ii. Penang 2030
iii. Seberang Perai Plan Strategic 2018-2022
iv. Environment Sensitive Areas (KSAS)

5.0 SITE ANALYSIS
The proposed site analysis is to gain a better understanding of the site’sadvantages and
disadvantages in ensuring the suitability for the purpose of the proposed development.
The condition of the site and its surroundings have been identified to provide an overview
of the aspects related to the proposed site such as landuse and zoning, climate analysis,
sensory, view, natural features, topography and soil, infrastructure, circulation and
accessibility, hydrology and water bodies, and the surrounding context. The SWOT
analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat) will be analysed to facilitate
planners to do the proposed development.
5.1 ANALYSIS ON THE SITE

According to the figure 4, the current landuse for the proposed site is classify as
Vacant Land which is in consisting of 100% of the area, while the figure 5 shows
the zoning of the proposed site is classification as residential which is 100% of the
area.
5.1.2 CLIMATE ANALYSIS

5.1.2.1 SUNPATH
Figure 6: Sun path and Wind Direction
Time Temperature Wind

Direction Speed
10.00 am 26°C East to West 6 km/h
12.00 am 31°C East to West 13 km/h
3.00 pm 27°C East to West 15 km/h
Table 3: Temperature
Every development project must consider the sun's orientation

and the wind's place of origin. The study showed that the sun
was travelling from east to west. Determining where to place
windows or open areas that may get enough of natural light is
therefore crucial for the structure. The direction of the qibla may

be determined by looking at the angle between 291° and 293°,
which reflects to the sun's orientation.

Figure 11: Average Wind Speed in Bukit Mertajam


This section describes the hourly average wind flow
(speed and direction) at 10 metres above ground for a vast area.
The wind at any one site is heavily influenced by local
topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed
and direction change more than hourly averages. Over the
course of the year, the average hourly wind speed in Bukit
Mertajam displays modest seasonal change.
From September 25 to February 6, the windier season
lasts 4.4 months, with average wind speeds of more than 4.6

between the months rather than just the monthly totals. Monthly
rainfall in Bukit Mertajam varies greatly by season. Bukit
Mertajam has rained all year. October is the wettest month in
Bukit Mertajam, with an average rainfall of 9.8 inches. February
has the least rain in Bukit Mertajam, with an average rainfall of
2.5 inches.
5.1.3 TOPOGRAPHY
This analysis there are two points was taken to see about the highest
and the lowest of slope on the site. The lowest slope at the top of the

site which the slope is 1.86° (class 1) and the highest slope is 3.94°
(class 1). The highest slope just 3.94° and include in category of class
1 (low risk) 0°-15°can considered for any kind of development. So, this
site is suitable for any kind of development without cut and fill the slope.
High-rise or landed developments might be suggested for this
location because the type of land is suited for any sort of construction.
According to the Penang Hillside Development Guidelines, construction
can only go up to a height of 75 metres. Any sort of development can
be proposed because the elevation is under 75 metres. The site is a
level region; hence no sloping areas could be found.

Table 4: Classification of Slope
5.1.4 SENSORY
Sensory refers to the visual, audible, and tactile aspects of the site such
as views, noise, touch, smell and others. These again should be
considered in time frames and a positive or negative factor can be
attributed to the condition.
5.1.4.1 SENSE OF NOISE

The proposed site is located near the service road (Jalan Santuari 1 &
Jalan Santuari 2) and local road (Jalan Impian Indah 3). There are a lot
of vehicles such as lorries, cars, motorcycles and so on. Vehicle
exhaust and horn noises are quite loud, especially when there is traffic
congestion, and will result in noise pollution at the construction site. The
solution is planting more vegetation to reduce noise on the site.
Figure 15: Sense of Noise
5.1.4.2 SENSE OF SMELL

The proposed site is located near the river. It produces an unpleasant
smell. The solution is providing good drainage for the comfort of
residents.

Figure 16: Sense of Smell
5.1.5 VIEW
Figure 17 depicts a view of IJM Land from the centre of the site, looking
south to north. Taman Santuari may be seen from the centre of the site,
looking west to east. In addition, from the middle of the site, looking
south to north, you can see Taman Impian Indah, and from the middle
of the site, looking east to west, you can see Taman Impian Ria.
Figure 17: View on the site
5.1.6 SOIL
The purpose on doing analysis on soil to know the current type of soil
that found on the site whether it is suitable for a development, or the
site need any enhancement for that soil. From what we have observed,
the site contains the mixture type of soils from clay, silt, and loam.
Specifically, on the site have loam and silty clay.

LEGEND
LOAM
SILTY CLAY
Figure 18: Soil Analysis
Based on the analysis, the site area around 8.21 acres, we

identified loam was 7.8 acres (95%) followed by silty clay around 0.41
acres (5%). Loam is the best soil type for construction due to its ideal
combination of silt, sand, and clay. It combines the best of all their
qualities into the ideal balance for supporting a foundation. Besides, the
existing of loan soil can reduce the cost of land addition.
5.1.7 HYDROLOGY
Figure 19 depicts the placement of man-made drains that act to collect
surface water and route it away from the site area's residential area into
a neighbouring drainage system. Stormwater differs from sewers in that
the water is not contaminated, therefore it does not need to be treated
before being transported into drainage. According to figure 19, each
drain has a different function depending on its type. Each drain has a
separate width and depth measurement. There are also guidelines in
the construction of the drains to maintain the drains running properly.

Table 5: Type of Drainage

5.1.8 NATURAL FEATURES
Flora and animals are also important considerations in the site area.
This is necessary to ensure that no flora or animals be lost because of
the development that will be carried out, especially for endangered
species. All flora and fauna found in a specific area. It is a native plant
in general, and some plants have been planted by people. 40% of the
site area is covered by trees, with the remaining 60% covered by grass
and land. Fauna is all animal life found in a particular area. In the site
area, there are animals consisting of wild and non-wild types.
There are various types of flora and fauna available at study
site. Among them are as follows:
Figure 20: Flora
Figure 21: Fauna

5.2 ANALYSIS ON SURROUNDING AREA
5.2.1 CIRCULATION
Figure 22: Circulation
The road hierarchy is divided into three levels: main road,

service road, and local road. A main road is one of the key roads that
make up the core network of a state's road transportation system. Jalan
Permatang Tinggi is the main roadways in the study area. Jalan
Santuari 2 and Jalan Santuari 1 is a service road that connects the main
roads, constituting the core network of the road transportation system
within a district or regional development area. Lastly, local road is a
basic road network within a land plot or other restricted regions in a rural
location which is Jalan Impian Indah 18 and Jalan Impian Indah 3.
Based on the analysis of the circulation, the site is easy to reach
because it is surrounded by roads. As a result, it will smooth the road
and facilitate construction work. As a result, the construction work may
go faster and be completed sooner.
5.2.2 ACCESSIBILITY
The vehicles using Jalan Permatang Tinggi, Jalan Santuari 1,
Jalan Santuari 2, Jalan Impian Indah 3, Jalan Impian Indah 18, and the
other minor roads are light vehicles such as motorcycles, cars, and
bicycles, and heavy vehicles such as buses and lorries. Thus, the road
at the site is suitable for all type of vehicles, therefore it also can bring

benefits to construction work due to the construction work involved all
type of vehicles, they can easily access to the site.
Figure 23: Type of Car at the site
5.2.3 MOBILITY
Figure 24: Mobility

Source: Penang Transport Master Plan
The mobility of transportation is an ability to move to another place.

There have three types of existing public transportation at Bukit
Mertajam, which are Keretaapi Tanah Melayu from Raja Uda to Bukit
Mertajam, Bus Rapid Transit from Seberang Jaya to Permatang Tinggi,
and Termimal Bersepadu Selatan. Also, there is no direct public
transportation to the site, so the user needs to use others type of vehicle
to arrive to the site. To conclude, the site has a good access and very
suitable to development since the located of the site is strategic. This
would open an opportunity for the outsiders to get in the site easily, this
also make an opportunity for future development, the residents can use
the public transportation easily.

5.2.4 UTILITIES
Based on our site analysis that conducted in Bukit Mertajam, Penang,
there are 3 types of utilities that have been provided in surrounding area,
namely streetlight, fire hydrants and TNB compact sub-station. The
collected data obtained are the results of a site visit form a radius 500
meters from proposed site.
Figure 25: Utilities
5.2.5 INFRASTRUCTURE
According to our site analysis that conducted in Bukit Mertajam, Penang,
there is 2 type of infrastructure that have been provided in the
surrounding area which is telecommunication tower (monopole) type
and sewage treatment plant. Therefore, our team only collects data and
calculates the amount of infrastructure surrounding the proposed site
within a radius of 2 kilometres.

There are a variety of existing buildings near the proposed site,
including educational, religious, and other facilities. The figure below
depicts the projected community facilities for the region. The planned
location is bordered by a variety of public and private services. This
adds value and promotes balanced population increase in terms of
economic, social, and relational effect. There are various types of
facilities available at the study site. Among the facilities that have been
identified through site visits that have been held are as follow:

5.2.7 COMMERCIAL IN SURROUNDING AREA

A city's commercial areas are locations, districts, or neighbourhoods
that are predominantly made up of commercial structures, such as a
downtown, central business district, financial district, "Main Street,"
commercial strip, or shopping centre. Within cities, commercial activity
includes the purchasing and selling of goods and services in retail
enterprises, wholesale buying and selling, financial establishments, and
a wide range of activities that are roughly defined as "business." The
convenience brought by the business district is one of the main
considerations in determining a construction project. If a residential
area is close to the business district, residents can easily buy what they
need or find a job that suits them. There have several existing
commercial areas near the site, such as:

5.2.8 HOUSING IN SURROUNDING AREA

Understanding the context of a site is critical for the designer to be able
to weave the new design into the current fabric of the site. It enables us
to comprehend current opportunities or challenges in a site and make
informed judgments about how to respond to our discoveries. The
significance of this analysis is to detect the demand of the surrounding
inhabitants, as well as the residents' use of the route.

6.0 DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL & CONSTRAINS
6.1 POTENTIAL ON PROPOSED SITE
First and foremost, the proposed location close to the neighbourhood, such as
Taman Impian Indah and Taman Santuari. The surrounding neighbourhood has
high demand. According to the analysis that has been done, the majority of the
site's residents fall within the T20 family category. As a result, they can afford to
make the exorbitant condominium payment. The majority of residents will be in the
30-year-old age group, thus there will be a significant demand for condominiums
because people in these age groups must purchase a home for future use.
The proposed development is also advantageous for long-term sustainable
development. In 2030, the ageing issue will become more significant. According to
Draf Perancangan Tempatan Seberang Perai, the population of Seberang Perai's
central area will rise from 509,000 in 2020 to 574,200 in 2030. This demonstrates
that the opportunity and market for the condominium building will be higher.
Besides, the site is surrounded by Jalan Santuari 1, Jalan Santuari 2, Jalan Impian
Indah 3, and Jalan Impian Indah 18, it is an opportunity for the construction works
as because of the accessible of the site, the construction work can move easily
and potentially.
Apart from that, the landform, height, and gradient are all flat from a physical
standpoint, creating few substantial barriers to the development proposal's
implementation. The clear site fee for development can be reduced by the level
elevation because developers won't have to cut down hills or fill in low areas to
prevent flooding. The proposed site's soil type is suited for the basement
construction work as well.
Finally, the surrounding development has included commercial, industrial, and
public facilities, which may be the main attraction of the site. The commercial area,
such as Commercial Centre Santuari, Lotus’s Bukit Mertajam, Chariton Hotel Alma,
and AEON Mall Bukit Mertajam, will make it easier for the surrounding residents.
There are also public facilities for the surrounding residents at SK Taman Impian,
Bomba Sukarela, and Dewan Serbaguna. This will enhance the demand for the
proposed development of condominiums at the proposed site.
6.2 CONSTRAINS ON PROPOSED SITE

The proposed location is situated inside a neighbourhood. The locals in the area
might feel inconvenienced by this. The site is close to a road that is very busy
throughout the week, and the passing vehicles will produce noise and air pollution,
therefore the border has been allotted with 5 feet of perimeter plating as a buffer

zone since the elderly or injured resident needs a quiet place to remain. The
perimeter planting consequently offers a place where locals can live without being
bothered.
Additionally, the construction activities may annoy other road users by blocking
the route with construction equipment. The location is surrounded by roadways,
which have high mobility and may result in traffic congestion during peak hours.
Last but not least, the largest danger in this region is the flooding problem. The
area is a flood probing area, and the impacts of the rain are getting worse every
day. There are two flood reservoir pools, however after a heavy rain, they will also
be full.

7.0 DEVELOPMENT SUGGESTION AT PROPOSED SITE

7.2 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL ANALYSIS
The proposed development in this area is ideal to be built as a new residential
district in order to achieve a planned development. It may strengthen the local
economy in this area, fostering growth that will benefit all facets of society. The
development of the proposed site will bring in foreign investors, expand the network
of public services and infrastructure, and draw new residents to the area. This
circumstance will indirectly improve the state's economy, the socioeconomic status
of the inhabitants, and the spread of development.

of 10 storey affordable housing building (total of units is 200 units).
There also have 4 storeys facilities podium which 3 floor are allocated
for podium parking areas, and one floor allocated as facilities podium.
7.3.2 OUTDOOR PLAYGROUND & MINI WATER PARK

Playgrounds are secure places where children may acquire important
physical, social, emotional, and imaginative skills that can help them
gain self-confidence, enhance coordination, and increase their critical
thinking ability.
7.3.3 SWIMMING POOL

The reason that providing a swimming pool is being a relaxing and
peaceful form of exercise; alleviating stress; improving coordination,

balance, and posture; improving flexibility; providing good low-impact
therapy for some injuries and conditions; providing a pleasant way to
cool down on a hot day.
7.3.4 SUNBATH DESK

Sunbathing is the act of sitting or reclining in the sun to allow our body
to synthesise vitamin D when we are exposed to sunlight. Residents
can rest in the area provided by the sunbath desk. It is next to the
swimming pool. The vitamin D in sunbaths helps our bodies keep
calcium and prevents brittle, thin, or deformed bones.
7.3.5 GARDEN & HANGOUT TERRACE

Residents have access to recreational spaces attributable to open
space, which also contributes to the neighbourhood’s aesthetic value
and environmental quality. As individuals get to know others in their
neighbourhood, it fosters a feeling of community that is advantageous
to both adults and kids. Urban green areas benefit the environment,
encourage physical activity among city dwellers, improve their mental
health, and provide a sense of neighbourhood.
7.3.6 COMMUNITY HALL

A community hall is a structure and set of amenities that the general
public may use and enjoy for gatherings, cultural events, and
recreational activities. Community activities, public organisations, and
recreation clubs convene in community halls. On occasion, they could
be accessible to both the public and a certain niche of the larger
community. The community hall is often utilised for gatherings, civic
engagements, meetings, volunteer work, weddings, and other events.
7.3.7 RESTING AND FITNESS POD

In a Terrace Garden, a gazebo is an octagonal structure with a strong
foundation and raised flooring. It has either fenced or open sides and a
strong roof. A gazebo can be used to create lovely Outdoor Garden
resting areas. It can give shelter, seclusion, shade, and can also be
used as a decorative element. It can blend into the scenery or be used
to divide and control traffic between different garden areas. Its walls and

roof are made of an open framework that holds colourful and fragrant
vines.
7.3.8 SPORT FACILITIES

party. Of course, it not only provides barbecue, but also comes with
kitchen, restaurant, cafe, and dining table chair to facilitate users to
have a better experience.
7.3.10 VISITOR GLASS ELEVATOR

Provide a more convenient passage for visitors. Connected to the lobby,
it is convenient for visitors to visit.
7.3.11 READING & GUEST LOUNGE

Lounges enable properties of all categories, including luxury ones,
maintain high room occupancy and increase client loyalty on a global
scale. They are the most practical choice for business travellers
because all of their demands can be easily addressed in one place.
Reading nooks give kids more access to books and foster a welcoming
environment where families can read aloud more frequently while going
about their everyday activities.
7.3.12 GAME ROOM

One of the most valuable advantages of a game room is the quality time
it can provide for the entire family. Having a designated recreation and
entertainment room in your house makes it easier to spend time
together as a family, bonding over exciting, shared experiences.

7.3.13 MANAGEMENT ROOM
It routinely provides order, command, and direction to various people.
Its functions include planning, organising, controlling, staffing,
supervising, inspiring, and providing effective leadership. As a result,
office management promotes productivity.
7.3.14 SAUNA & SPA

People who use a dry sauna may feel energetic. Because the blood
vessels relax and dilate in a sauna, blood flow rises, and the experience
can help relieve joint stress and aching muscles. Saunas may also
benefit people suffering from chronic pain and arthritis.
7.3.15 GYMNASIUM
A residential gym boosts the property's value, makes the building more
enticing to live in, and increases member devotion. When you have a
domestic gym, you don't have nearly as many excuses to skip your
workout and stick to a programme. Having your own home gym allows
you to work out in a variety of ways and ultimately places all of the
responsibility for getting and keeping healthy in your hands.
7.3.16 YOGA TERRACE

It promotes self-awareness. When you concentrate on yourself, you
begin to develop greater self-awareness. You become more conscious
of your movements and may begin to identify where and how you hold
tension in your body. You also become more conscious of how you
breathe and, possibly, how your mind works.
7.3.17 WASHROOM AND CHANGING ROOM

The bathroom facilities of a leisure centre, gym, or sports club are such
an important aspect for all sporting facilities to provide its customers
and staff with a clean, modern, and pleasant space to feel safe utilising
the facilities, changing, and showering. It not only conveys that the
facilities are well-maintained, but it also says that you care about your
customers, are worried about health and safety, and it shows
prospective new members that your sporting club or gym is the one to
join. Changing rooms and bathrooms may quickly become a breeding

ground for bacteria and viruses, making your customers and employees
sick. This is due to the fact that they spread swiftly in damp situations.
Throw in damp, heated feet from swimming, and you've got the ideal
condition for a wart or verruca to form.
7.3.18 CONTROL ROOM

Control rooms are crucial for enterprises to monitor various information
streams swiftly and effectively and make accurate mission-critical
choices.
7.3.19 WATER TANK

Water tanks are used to store water for use in a variety of applications,
including drinking water, irrigation agriculture, fire control, agricultural
farming for both plants and livestock, chemical manufacture, food
preparation, and many others.
7.3.20 TNB
This utility is to supply electricity for operation of proposed
developments.
7.3.21 GUARD HOUSE

The primary objective of a guard house is to deter crime by proactively
monitoring for suspicious behaviour, minimising risks as they emerge,
and notifying the appropriate authorities when an incident occurs.
Simply put, security guards protect people, property, and other
important assets.
7.3.22 PARKING
Podium Parking refers to parking spaces that are totally contained by
walls and are covered by the ground floor of a structure. Podium parking
may occur at or below the adjacent sidewalk's grade.
7.4 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT

A condominium development has been suggested in this Development Proposal
Report which included residential in Lot 1782, Mukim 14, Bukit Mertajam,
Seberang Perai Tengah, Pulau Pinang with the total development area of 8.21
acres. The proposal values and concepts are relevant with the theme of

“Sustainable City” with aims to reserve negative impact of urbanization by
consuming fewer resources, fighting climate change, reducing greenhouse gases,
creating a sense of place.
The design concept is designed to address social, environment and economic
impact through urban planning and city management that achieved by building eco-
friendly alternatives into city infrastructure. To achieve the goals, some aspects
have been emphasized, which are short distance, social interaction, well-organized
urban infrastructure, green building, walkable and bikeable neighbourhood.
In general, the “Sustainable City” is related to integration between nature and
built environment, which can bring the benefits to economic, social, and ecological
aspects with will design and management during and after development. The
proposed development probably will enhance the development of local economic,
job opportunities, social interaction, and sustainable environment.
The main aspects of the development concept are “Liveable, Accessible, and
Eco-friendly”. The aspect of Liveable is to address a safe and stable environment,
people will feel safer and comfortable when they live in the residence. Second,
Accessible is about to provide walkable and bikeable place, this is also aimed to
provide a exercise place for residents to maintain healthy. Lastly, Eco-friendly
shows on parks and green space that can enhance air quality, solar-powered
building that can reduce pollution, rooftop building for residents to release tension.
Figure 33: Development Concept
7.5 LANDSCAPE PROPOSAL

To provide activity places that people can use, the suggested landscape plan for
this development would mix planning for soft and projected landscapes. Due to the

eco-friendly nature of the housing design, it is also devoted to inhabitants who will
dwell in future housing estates. It is also offered with the intention of fostering a
range of activities that are not only advantageous but also capable of producing a
harmonious community. Soft landscaping, or trees that may give shade and collect
dust from road operations, is another aspect of the business plot area's
landscaping. The use of planned and soft landscape features in this planning is
also based on recommendations from the local authorities. Additionally, several
landscapes can be taken into account as they are thought to improve quality of life,
including the suggested creation of spacious and comfortable pathways.

8.0 IMPACT OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
Each development project will have an influence on physical, economic, infrastructural,
social, and environmental aspects. Each of these consequences is described depending
on the influence of the development project, whether favourable or bad. It is dependent on
the sort of development and how it is implemented.
8.1 PHYSICAL IMPACT

The impact of climate change can be lessened by having lots of green space. This
is possible because the plant can absorb UV rays and carbon dioxide. One of the
components of greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide. The temperature of the earth
will rise as a result. The plant may also generate oxygen and offer shade for
outdoor leisure activities. To make the environment colder, the photosynthetic
process can create water. The plant's roots may become entangled in the earth's
structure, preventing soil erosion from occurring.
8.2 ECONOMIC IMPACT

Residents will profit from this development since they will be able to participate in
the management and operation of the commercial area at the surrounding area,
such as working as clerks, managers, officers, cleaners, nurses, medical assistants,
and security guards in the office, shopping mall and shop lot. As a result, it will
stimulate local economic growth and improve inhabitants' quality of life. The
projected development might boost household income and aid in the reduction of
unemployment. The nearby citizens' quality of life can also be improved. The
intended development fosters and stimulates the expansion of adjacent
commercial activities such as selling tools and medical equipment as well as
everyday necessities such as diapers and milk powder for the elderly.
8.3 INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILITY IMPACT

The proposed development would need the dredging of existing roads for the utility
route connection works, which will interrupt the route and the lives of the inhabitants
due to road closures and other issues. However, it can assist in improving the
neighbourhood’s current infrastructure and utility amenities, such as building new
roads and drainage systems, installing telecom lines, installing power, and
installing a fresh water supply. This circumstance also guarantees that the facility
is planned properly and in accordance with the requirements of the pertinent
technical departments.

8.4 SOCIAL IMPACT
The proposed condominium development will affect social in that it will offer
employment opportunities to the neighbourhood’s population and aid in the
sociodemographic development of the area based on the employment needs
offered. It will also have an impact on social in that it will affect the economy. In
addition to being able to boost tourism activities, particularly those connected to
educational tourism in the Pulau Pinang, this development project would positively
benefit the economics and quality of life of the locals.
8.5 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT

Construction is likely to cause environmental contamination issues, which will have
an impact on the local community and public. To protect the welfare and peace of
the public and people in the area surrounding the proposed site, the developer
must and shall provide proactive measures in resolving the problem of
environmental pollution during development.

9.0 COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
To accomplish planning criteria and the methods of development control, policies and
guidelines should be considered while developing and proposing a development. The
Town and Country Planning Act of 1972, Part IV, establishes a monitoring and
administrative structure for town and country planning to aid in the regulation of the
planning process.
9.1 COMPLIANCE WITH STRUCTURE PLAN POLICIES

Several policies and directions for sustainable development are included in the
Seberang Perai Local Plan 2030 to attain development objectives. To guarantee
that the development suggestions are in conformity with the policies established
by the government, certain Policies and Strategic Directions have been taken into
consideration.
9.2 COMPLIANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT PLANNING POLICY PLAN

The Development Planning Policy Plan defining and documenting the proposed
site in the zone for vacant land use. A residential area has been designated for the
proposed development.
9.3 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER TECHNICAL MATTERS

The Seberang Perai Planning Guidelines and Standards as well as those
connected to the present laws and ordinances of the Local Authority served as the
foundation for the creation of the Layout Plan.
9.4 COMPLIANCE WITH STATE POLICY RELATED TO PLANNING AND

DEVELOPMENT
A list of official documents that will be used for this project to conduct analysis on
the current market, demand, and supply for residential area as well as the current
policies and regulations of the proposed development site is shown to obtain
information on the local economic and social viewpoint in the proposed
development project. These documents cover:
• Seberang Perai Local Plan 2030
• Planning Dvelopment Policy Plan (Seberang Perai City Council)
• Planning Guidelines for “Perancangan Pembangunan Sejagat”
• Standards & Guidelines (PLANMalaysia)

10.0 ANSURANCE TO LOCAL AUTORITIES
The proposed development on Lot 1782, Mukim 14, Bukit Mertajam, Seberang
Perai Tengah, Pulau Pianang is expected to receive positive consideration from Majlis
Bandaraya Seberang Perai (MBSP). This application should be considered based on
the following:
i. The proposed site area has considerable potential for development as a
complete condominium development, and growth in the surrounding region is
projected.
ii. Consider the proposals and policies described in the Penang State Structure
Plan 2030 and the Development Planning Policy Plan in the context of global
development, which is particularly articulated in the development proposals'
determination.
11.0 CONCLUSION
According to the justification and the site analysis, the proposed site has the
potential to build mixed-use development because to its strategic location, which is
bordered by residential areas, institutions, and is easily accessible, as well as its
existing land use. These variables contribute to a high level of appropriateness for
planning and carrying out the proposed development.
The proposed development is also designed in line with the planning standards to
maintain compatibility and harmony with the surrounding environment and to avoid
future social and environmental problems. This plan can deliver advantages to
neighbourhood residents and the local people in the social, economic, and ecological
aspects, which are the major aims to achieve sustainable development, by establishing
the sustainable city with the "Sustainable City" concept. The proposed development
attempts to accomplish Sustainable Development Goals 11 by creating a dense urban
landscape to reduce noise and offer shade for leisure activities. The plants may also
absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen.
Furthermore, the proposed development's green space and plantation help to
conserve the environment and accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals 13,
Climate Action. Planting can assist to minimise climate change and global warming by
absorbing carbon dioxide and lowering the temperature of the surrounding
environment.
Overall, the proposed development has the potential to have a beneficial impact
and return on investment.
