Parking Lot or Special Development Zone? Apparently TCP & ABCi Have Different Rules Now.
Interesting to see a commercial coffee outlet operating from what appears to be a parking lot. One can’t help but wonder. Is this a permitted use of the space, or have the rules for development and commercial activity quietly evolved?
If an ordinary business set up a commercial structure or operation in a parking area, would ABCi and TCP be equally accommodating or would the cones and enforcement team arrive before the coffee machine even warmed up?
And since CBTL is reportedly associated with royal ownership, perhaps someone can clarify whether the same planning, building and land-use requirements apply here as they do to everyone else.
Just asking: are we looking at equal enforcement, or is “Brunei’s #1 favourite” also becoming “Brunei’s #1 exception”?
