(Bandar Seri Begawan, 11th) An industrial warehouse located in Kampong Sungai Tampoi has been ordered to cease operations for activities carried out without planning approval from the authorities.
These activities were conducted on residential land within a residential area, which is not designated for industrial use.
Although the site was used for storage, such operations can cause disturbances, including noise, frequent movement of goods and vehicles, and extended operating hours, thereby disrupting community order.
The use of heavy vehicles also increases traffic flow, creates safety hazards, and damages roads that were not designed for such loads. Industrial warehousing can also lead to environmental problems, such as dust, waste, and visual disruption.
Such activities may only be conducted in designated industrial areas, where the planning and facilities support such operations without affecting residential neighborhoods.
Following routine monitoring and inspection, the landowner complied with the Planning Bureau’s instructions, ceased operations, cleared the site, and restored it to residential use. Subsequently, the operations have been relocated to an industrial area in accordance with planning regulations, reducing the disturbance to the community.
The relevant authorities remind the public to comply with planning laws, especially Article 23, which stipulates that no development, land subdivision, land amalgamation, or construction may be carried out within a protected area without the approval of the Planning Bureau.
Violation of this provision is an offense, and upon conviction, may be subject to a maximum fine of $200,000.
