"The Scheme area is designated as 'Comprehensive Development Area' to facilitate the LDC to undertake comprehensive redevelopment for the area,' spokesman for the Town Planning Board said.
"The Scheme Plan provides a planning framework fro the redevelopment of the Scheme area by restructuring the existing land uses and street patterns. The proposed redevelopment, as shown on the Land Use Diagram, will comprise commercial and public open space uses. The development is envisaged to be in the form of an office and/or hotel tower block(s) above a retail and/or commercial podium. Apart from the provision of lay-bys for private cars, taxis and coaches, parking spaces and loading and unloading facilities would be provided at basement levels to improve the local traffic circulation," he added.
To achieve efficiency in land use, Cornwall Avenue will be closed and turned into a landscaped area. Upon redevelopment, a minimum of 1,200 square metres public open space, including the landscaped area, will be provided at street and podium levels.
LDC will be required to submit a master layout plan for the Scheme area to the Town Planning Board for approval.
