B h d. Surrounding area of the proposed project is mostly covered by agriculture. There is no development of township surrounding area of the project site except at the southern boundary where there is on-going housing construction are being carried out. Therefore, with this project, it will expose the resident to the urban facilities without need to travel to Kangar or Arau which indirectly will reduce traffic congestion. 2.2.3 Demand of Development It is predicted that by the year of 2020, there will be a total of 298,600 residents compare to year 2010 with total of 240,000 residents as shown in Figure 2-4. As recorded in RTMPK for BP2, it is predicted that approximately 1,286 units of new house (refer Table 2-2 for total new houses needed year 2011-2012) are needed to fullfill the needs of the ever increasing number of households and replacement of old units by the year of 2020. Therefore, the development blends well with the growing populations as estimated in RTMPK. Development of new houses indirectly will triggers demand for commercial development.
