Planning priority settings

Publicly owned (city, URA, land bank)20 pts
Within 400 m of frequent transit15 pts
In a planning-designated target area or corridor20 pts

Missing-middle (2-4 units, townhouses) by right15 pts
Affordable units proposed15 pts

Project input: not known for parcels in bulk, so it never matches here.

Points available: 110. Expedite candidate at 70+ with no red flags; Priority watch at 50+.
