The area is in severe shortage of public open space and up-to-standard community facilities.
"The scheme area is designated as 'Comprehensive Development Area' to facilitate the LDC to undertake comprehensive development for the area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said.
"The scheme plan provides a planning framework for the redevelopment of the scheme area by restructuring the existing land uses and street patterns," he said.
The proposed development, as shown on the Land Use Diagram, comprises a commercial/office complex, Government/Institution/Community (GIC) uses and a large public open space.
The proposed GIC facilities include a refuse collection point, a public latrine, a hostel for single persons, a day nursery and a public toilet for the disabled.
Meanwhile, a public open space of 1,650 square metres will be provided at the corner of Portland Street and Man Ming Lane to serve the nearby residents, the spokesman added.
To achieve efficiency in land use, Yunnan Lane and a section of Shek Lung Street will be closed. Underground car parking and loading/unloading facilities will be provided on basement levels.
"LDC will be required to submit a master layout plan for the scheme area to the Town Planning Board for approval," the spokesman said.
The draft scheme plan No. S/K2/LDC1/1 is available for public inspection until May 10 at:
