Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street and Sai Ying Pun and Sheung Wan plans amended

The Town Planning Board made amendments to development plans on Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street and Sai Ying Pun and Sheung Wan.

The amendments on the Urban Renewal Authority Staunton Street/Wing Lee Street Development Scheme Plan  and the approved Sai Ying Pun and Sheung Wan Outline Zoning Plan OZP mainly involved the excision of the Wing Lee Street area and the Bridges Street Market site from the DSP and incorporation of the excised area into the OZP.

The site at 1-12 Wing Lee Street and 17 and 19 Shing Wong Street is zoned as "Comprehensive Development Area" with a building height restriction of four storeys. The Bridges Street Market site is zoned as "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Historical Site Preserved for Cultural and Recreational Uses" with a building height restriction of three storeys.

 Other amendments mainly include showing Wing Lee Street and Shing Wong Street together with the adjoining major streets as "Road"; rezoning an area at 27-29 Hollywood Road from "Road" to "Commercial", and revision of the gross floor area restrictions for three "Residential (Group A)" sub-zones.
