Oppose URA’s A/H3/435 Planning Application聯署反對市區重建局之 A/H3/435 規劃申請 URA’s new high-rise scheme will destroy historic neighbourhood The Staunton Street, Shing Wong Street and Wing Lee Street neighbourhood is a historic area in the Central/Sheung Wan District with low-rise tenements, terraces, lanes and stepped streets. Since 2008, the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) has been buying properties here for a large urban redevelopment scheme known as H19. In 2011, the Government removed Wing Lee Street from the redevelopment scheme. In 2013, the URA announced it would preserve the tenement building at Nos. 88-90 Staunton Street and build a 13-storey medium-rise along Shing Wong Street to preserve the neighbourhood’s character. Now, the URA has put forward a new scheme which will pull down Nos. 88-90 Staunton Street and all tenements within the redevelopment area, and build two (20+ storeys) high-rise residential/commercial towers in this historic neighbourhood.
This is against the conservation initiatives by the Chief Executive-designate Mrs Carrie Lam. She pledged to conserve Central/Sheung Wan’s historic areas.This new URA scheme will result in irreversible damage to the environment, increase traffic pressure and overwhelm our unique, historic neighbourhood and offers no community benefits.

2013年城規會通過本區的總綱發展藍圖，除將永利街唐樓群剔出重建範圍外，市建局表示會保育士丹頓街88-90號的四層高唐樓，而沿城皇街地盤B的新建築將設計成拾級而上的13層住宅，以保留這區的臺階特色。市建局是次申請公然違反承諾，除要求拆卸重建區內所有唐樓(包括士丹頓街88-90號)，更大幅提高地盤地積比，興建逾20層高的豪宅連商舖，務求賺到盡。與永利街毗鄰的城皇街/華賢坊的唐樓群及臺階特色將完全被消滅。至於位處鴨巴甸街及士丹頓街交界的地盤C，儘管不少業主已將唐樓翻新得美侖美奐，市建局仍堅持全拆，興建約20層高的豪宅連商舖。 兩座高樓將會在士丹頓街、城皇街、永利街一帶造成很大壓迫感，遮擋景觀，增加交通負荷，對社區環境及舊城氛圍造成不可逆轉的破壞。 或查閱: http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb/tc/plan_application/A_H3_435.html |
