On February 26, the Wuhua District Bureau of Natural Resources replied that it did not explicitly require new residential buildings to uniformly enclose balconies. The reporter of the City Times Elephant Housing Appraisal Institute learned that at present, only Panlong District in Kunming has introduced a policy that new houses need to be uniformly sealed balconies.
Netizen suggestions are intended to save resources
Maintain the overall image of the city
Netizens who left a message reported that at present, most of the newly built residences in Wuhua District have not sealed their balconies when they are delivered.
Usually, after the delivery of the new house, the residents will choose to seal the balcony by themselves for safety, dust prevention and other reasons, but this move has obvious drawbacks, including the qualification of the construction party, the quality of materials, the construction technology, etc., are uneven, and there are potential safety hazards; The appearance is not uniform, resulting in an unattractive façade of the residence; There are also some projects that need to dismantle the original balcony when sealing the balcony, resulting in a large waste of resources.
The netizen suggested that Wuhua District issue the implementation opinions on the unified closed balconies of new residential buildings, and require developers to uniformly seal the balconies for delivery in order to save resources and maintain the overall image of the city.

On February 26, the Wuhua District Bureau of Natural Resources replied.
The reply said: According to the "Kunming Urban and Rural Planning Management Technical Regulations" (2022 Edition), it is not clearly required that new residential buildings need to be uniformly enclosed balconies. There is a difference in the area calculation of the unified closed balcony and the unclosed balcony, and the Wuhua District Natural Resources Bureau will review the planning and design plan submitted for approval by the construction unit, and review the area calculation of the balcony, as long as it meets the technical management regulations, the specific design plan is not mandatory.
The bureau also said that the policy of unified closed balconies for new residential buildings involves urban image and urban design control requirements, and will make suggestions in the follow-up urban design of the area in combination with functions.
Panlong District had a policy before
New houses need to be uniformly enclosed balconies
It is understood that there is no unified policy for the new delivery of residential buildings to be uniformly closed balconies, and there is no unified policy for all districts in Kunming.
On December 11, 2020, the "Notice of the People's Office of Panlong District, Kunming City on Printing and Distributing the Implementation Opinions on the Unified Enclosed Balconies of New Residential Buildings in Panlong District (Trial>)" issued by the people of Panlong District mentions: From the date of issuance of the implementation opinions, the new residential buildings applying for the "Construction Project Planning Permit" shall be uniformly closed balconies; For newly built residences that have applied for the "Construction Project Planning Permit" but have not yet been delivered, they will be guided to enclose the balcony in a unified manner; Newly built houses that have been handed over are built, and uniformly enclosed balconies are encouraged. Although it is not clear whether the owner or the property will close the balcony, generally speaking, the property will delineate the standard for sealing the balcony according to the management regulations.

In this regard, some industry insiders said that there are pros and cons to uniformly sealing balconies. In some new deliveries with uniformly sealed balconies, the boundaries between balconies and rooms are already blurred and almost indistinguishable, and developers may take advantage of this provision to play a sideline in the design of the units, claiming to "increase the free area" and break through the floor area ratio limit.
In addition, the unified sealing of balconies will increase the development cost, which is difficult for some real estate companies to bear.
Most of Kunming
Owners of high-rise residential buildings choose to seal balconies
It is understood that most of the projects in the Kunming market are uniformly sealed balconies after delivery, and the property has relatively fixed standards, which is more unified in the visual effect of the façade.
However, the reporter has also received feedback from many owners, saying that the property "deliberately made it difficult" on the issue of sealing the balcony and did not allow the construction party contacted by the owner to enter the community.
Do you want to seal the balcony? Previously, the reporter visited 3 high-rise communities in Kunming, randomly interviewed 25 households, and found that 90% of the respondents' homes have sealed balconies, and some are planning to close them.
The reason for sealing the balcony is first to eliminate potential safety hazards, especially for families with children, sealing the balcony can avoid accidents caused by children climbing, and can also prevent the danger caused by falling objects from high altitudes.
The second is windproof and dustproof to improve cleanliness; It can also improve the space utilization rate and privacy of the home, after the balcony is sealed, the space can be expanded, and the balcony can be used as a drying area, study, tea room and other multiple functions, and the privacy is increased after installing the curtains.
In addition, the enclosed balcony also has a certain degree of cold protection and heat insulation.
Should there be a policy of uniformly sealing balconies for newly delivered houses?
