For licensing consultants
Has anything like this been licensed — or approved — here before?
Before you quote a client HK$18,000–32,000 for a restaurant application, you check the premises: what is licensed at the address, what the Town Planning Board has decided nearby, whether the building has orders. The map answers the first pass in a minute, with the source on every record.

- Counted on 24 September 2026 from the Town Planning Board's application layer (ETL of 16 September). “Involving an Eating Place” means the applied use names it.
- A planning approval is one gate. FEHD licensing, the lease and the building's plans are the others.

Those are in the approved plans and the Fire Services requirements — your part of the job.
