Another example is a site behind the Chai Wan Swimming Pool. The site
is currently zoned as “GB” and “Government, Institution or Community”
(“G/IC”). It is located at the fringe of a developed area that houses some
residential developments and G/IC facilities. Residential development on
the site is considered to be compatible with the neighbourhood.
The site is relatively gentle in slope and hence no significant site formation
works are needed. The site is currently accessible via a footpath, which
may require some widening work for vehicular access.
Nevertheless, local residents may object to the development on the
grounds of transport and neighbourhood capacity and visual impact,
among other concerns. A preliminary technical assessment should be
conducted to ascertain the feasibility of the development.
