Land resumption in Sheung Wan
The Lands Department announced today (Friday) plans to resume 797.5 square metres of land at Queen's Road West and Queen Street in Sheung Wan.
The land will be resumed under the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance for the implementation of a development scheme by the Land Development Corporation (LDC).
Details of the land lots affected are contained in the Government Gazette published today.
A Government spokesman said that the Government was satisfied that the LDC had taken all reasonable steps to acquire these interests on terms that were fair and reasonable, as required by the LDC Ordinance.
"A total of 28 interests in Heung Hing Lane, Ko Shing Street, Pan Kwai Lane, Queen's Road West, Tsung Sau Lane East and Tsung Sau Lane West will revert to the Government when the Resumption Notice expires in three months' time.
"Owners and tenants affected may make statutory claims under the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance and, if the claim cannot be settled by agreement, may apply to the Lands Tribunal for adjudication.
