The policy has generated debates and calls for amendments to be made. History The Small House Policy has been in effect ever since 1972 to provide a once-in-a-lifetime small house grant for an indigenous villager who is "a male person at least 18 years old and is descended through the male line from a resident of 1898 of a recognized village (Ding, ) which is approved by the Director of Lands". An indigenous villager therefore enjoys small house concessionary rights (ding rights, ) in building a house of not more than three storeys nor mo ...
