In violation of the construction of the title “scared” camp rooftop farm

There are many idle buildings in Hong Kong. In recent years, there has been a lot of idle buildings. In recent years, there has been the use of industrial rooftops to operate the municipal farms for public rental of fruits and vegetables. There are operators who have reached 5 digits and have a good prospect. Trend, but frankly is now in violation of the lease operation, take the gray area. In the Quarry Bay business buildings rooftop farm, was identified in violation of the lease, the person in charge worried that will affect the prospects. Members of the Legislative Council are of the view that the Government should relax its operating requirements and recommend that part of the rooftop can be piloted.

Hong Kong launched a series of measures to activate industrial buildings, the end of March last year. After the fire in the Kowloon Bay Mini Warehouse last year, the authorities have cracked down on the illegal construction of the building. The Hidden Agenda of the Kwun Tong, where the band performed is performed, should be approved by the staff of the same building. Non-industrial use ─ ─ rooftop farm, also face the above problems. Liu Shichang, head of the “City Farm” who had already run the “farmland” seven years ago, admitted that the three farms in Chai Wan, Kwun Tong and Tsuen Wan, respectively, were not eligible for land titles and legislation, “It is easy to move, because most of the industrial buildings can only be used for industrial use, any non-industrial activities on the breach of it!”

“Suddenly law enforcement, I have sounded

I think the Lands Department, the Buildings Department and the Fire Services Department have visited him on the rooftop farmhouse for seven years, but did not prosecute. He admitted: “In fact, there is a gray area. As long as the Government suddenly law enforcement, I have not heard anything. Day business are nervous. ”

In spite of this, Lin Shichang is still optimistic about the future development of its customers can rent an area from dozens of square centimeters to nearly 1 square meters of planting boxes, monthly rent of more than 100 yuan, is now up and down, he was in Quarry Bay A building business has not been the owner before the move, the monthly income has been 5 digits. He believes that the world trend is engaged in urban agriculture. I think the Administration should dismantle the bridge on the rooftop of the building and do not mind that the Administration should legislate. “The Government can set out the requirements and specifications so that the safety of the industry can be reduced.”

Whether the building to do rooftop farm should relax or crackdown? “Although the Government has rented the city on the Kam Sheung Road, it is too far away, and the second is to be re-signed every three months, and there is nothing to be available for three months. Can not make up. ”

Different from the city university vegetation

Lao Ji also found that there is also a rooftop farm in the Quarry Bay, which is located in Quarry Bay. When it is found in the Lands Department, the department has made a warning to the owner and asked to correct the breach. The owner of the farm said that the landlord had known the landlord before the lease, the owner of the lawyer that there is no problem before the start of business, but also that rooftop farm in the city to provide green environment, but also done fire safety, drainage systems and other measures, and city university vegetation Rooftop collapse of the situation is different, that the authorities to suppress the development of the industry.

Structural Engineer Su Yao-kun said that although the rooftop farm has a certain impact on the building, but there is room for development, “generally in 1976 after the building roof bearing capacity of 1.5kPa (334 pounds per square meter), if not properly put It is acceptable that the well-to-heavy plant is acceptable. “He Junxian, a member of the legislature of the fishery sector, also hoped that the Government would balance the parties after a certain degree of relaxation and suggested that some of the buildings should be piloted.
