The Project aims to re-structure and re-plan the area through redevelopment to enhance the walkability and connectivity of the area, and to integrate the planned pedestrian and traffic networks with the adjoining URA redevelopment projects to manifest the planning gains and synergy effects for the wider neighbourhood.

The key planning proposals of the Project includes:

Inclusion of three road sections for redevelopment and/or provision of pedestrian walkways and communal spaces to create a car-free zone and pleasant walking environment;
Provision of a footbridge connection at the Project to facilitate a footbridge development to provide a safe and direct pedestrian linkage between the MTR station exits and the wider neighbourhood adjoining the Project;
Re-routing of traffic network to enhance the traffic circulation;
Creation of an all-weathered communal space in the Project to become a focal point for community gathering and place-making;
Provision of not less than 5,500sq.m. non-domestic GFA for GIC uses to meet the community needs;
Redevelopment of the existing dilapidating buildings into modern residential development cum commercial/retail/GIC components.

The Project may also include other facilities and uses as required by the TPB.
