The Urban Renewal Authority plans to redevelop three linked portions of land fronting Hai Tan Street and dissected by Kweilin Street to improve the area's environment, promote efficient land use and provide open space accessible to the public.

Announcing the draft Hai Tan Street/Kweilin Street and Pei Ho Street development scheme plan today, the Town Planning Board said the area covers about 7,440 square metres and is designated as "Comprehensive Development Area". 

The proposed redevelopment will accommodate residential, commercial and Government, institution or community uses. A public open space of not less than 1,500 square metres at grade with direct street frontage will also be provided. 

Approval sought

The authority will submit a master layout plan to the board for approval.

The draft development scheme plan will replace the draft Cheung Sha Wan outline zoning plan in relation to the area delineated and described in the draft plan.

The board has also amended the draft Cheung Sha Wan outline zoning plan. The amendments involve the rezoning of Hing Wah Street playground to the west of Un Chau Estate from "Residential (Group A)" to "Open Space" to reflect the current use.

Copies of the draft plan are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version can be downloaded from the board's website.
