This decision comes a month after residents there submitted a petition to their Member of Parliament, Ms Sim Ann, in a bid to oppose plans. The Housing Board said that the site is the only one available in the estate suitable to build the studio apartments.
However, it said that it has addressed the residents' concerns of losing the estate's main recreational facility by incorporating a children's playground, elderly fitness corner and community garden with the studio apartments.
The Housing Board also explained that the other alternative sites suggested by the residents were not feasible as they are either too small or earmarked for other future development.
