The developer of Nam Sang Wai held a meeting on Tuesday (November 26th) with Green Groups to present their “new plan”.  

In the process of deciding on the layout of the new plan, they considered two other options as well:

1.        “Fung Lok Wai Option – 5%” where they would only use 5% of the land, but would comprise of 31 towers at the height of 20 stories.  This option was unfavorable due to the landscape and visual impacts to the surrounding environment.
2.        “Tree level option” – this is where all the buildings would be similar in height to the nearby tree but it would result in 88 towers with the height of 7 stories.  This was not considered because it would result in a massive housing development.

So a third design was chosen and the difference between the final design when compared to the original (the one objected by the Town Planning Board) mainly consist of:

-        Proposed man-made pond to be changed to reedbed so that a larger and continuous patch of reedbed can be retained.
-        The high-density residential building will be shortened in height (8-10 stories), and change from being 6 towers to 10 towers.
-        The incorporation of an area of reedbed and mangrove into the Wetland Enhancement Area, which would be actively managed.
