1. The issue is whether Asean can maintain a residential unit (the premises) at a basement garage floor of 5G and 5H Bowen Road (the Building). The premises have existed in some form or other since at least 1958. But, due to the layout of the garage floor, the premises contravene (and can never be made to meet) various requirements of the Building Planning Regulations (BPR) and the Code of Practice for Means of Escape in Case of Fire (the Code).
