Need help here. I've tried to purchase the recess area in front of my corner unit but rejected twice by HDB. All my neighbors at the same unit (diff floors) have purchased theirs long ago and my below neighbor just bought last year (which they just finished putting up the gate last week)! The reason HDB given; a new regulation came up in July 2011 that all recess area encroached to common space is not allowed to be purchased. I called up the Tampines HDB branch, and they stil gave me the same reason "Oh bcos there is a new regulation". I told them, even if i purchase my front area, it is still at least 2 meters away from the next door neighbor.. in addition, my below neighbor just installed their gate last week! It doesn't make sense. If i not mistaken, almost all the HDB recess area is located at the common corridor right? Ironic, i just found another forum there is this owner just got their recess area this year Jan 2012! Anyone know how to help me or who else can i approach?

Hi weiz87, I'm having the same problem but slightly different situation. Please advise if you found anyway to appeal?
