Can building plan be changed after vote?

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->I REFER to last Saturday's report, 'Lift upgrading in Eunos resumes'.
I share the plight of the affected residents in Eunos in having to put up with poor ventilation and lighting after completion of the lift upgrading. At Block 159, Bishan Street 13 where I live, residents suffered the same fate.
I vividly remember telling the site clerk when the foundation was being dug that the positioning of the lift shaft was not in accordance with the specifications in the drawing plan as voted by residents.
However, HDB staff insisted that the excavation of the lift shaft positioning was in the correct position.
Upon completion of the lift, our earlier misgivings that the design was not the same as what the residents had voted on were confirmed. And as expected, the ventilation and lighting on the second level were below the reasonable expectations of the residents.
The HDB's response was that the lift shaft position was changed after representations made by two executive maisonette units closer to the lift and that nothing could be done to change the situation.
As far as residents are concerned, their votes on the lift upgrading should be honoured. Can the HDB unilaterally change the building plan which the residents had voted on?
As this is a matter of public interest, could the relevant authorities comment on the HDB's unilateral action on the lift upgrading which adversely affects the interest of the residents?

Simple answer. First check who are the owners of the 2 executive maisonette units who made subsequent representations. Not happy? Easy solution, get the whole block on gang up on these 2 families and make them feel as unwelcome as possible.

My block lagi best.

The majority voted for a 'new design' to locate the stairways in conjunction with the lift upgrading. Of course I voted against, but majority rules. At least it was an open voting, I could do nothing to complain.

Two years later they decided to 'start work', before they the did they put up a notice saying that some residents complained about the 'new design' that the majority voted for, and they were going to solicit opinion whether residents were prepared to revert to the 'old design'. This time, they did not carry out an open voting. We only had to fill up a survey form, and the outcome was clear. According to HDB, majority voted for the 'old design'.

I'm sure some of you will have seen the protruding stairways that block light and ventilation in most LUP.

Stupid town council don't built 20 years ago . Now built to benefit underground contractors .

All town councils should be monitored .
