In 2007, the Town Planning Board (TPB) proposed an amendment to the draft Development Scheme Plan to the Staunton Street/ Wing Lee Street. The revised Planning Brief was then endorsed by the TPB in November 2007. Since the site has rich historical and cultural elements, heritage assessment, urban design study as well as structural and geotechnical impact assessment were carried out in order to understand the existing situation of the site and investigate a practicable way to strike a balance between conservation, provision of open spaces and development.
     As recommended by the heritage assessment and urban design study, conservation of the existing street patterns is the most important element in manifesting the history of urban development. It is also proposed to conserve the Bridges Street Market, some old tenement buildings along Staunton Street, the terrace characteristics of the Wing Lee Street, stone steps of Shing Wong Street and exploring ways to commemorate Dr Sun Yat Sen抯 association with the place.
     Due to the poor building conditions of the tenement buildings, the preferred scheme proposes to retain the tenement blocks on Nos. 88-90 Staunton Street and Nos. 10-12 Wing Lee Street but redevelop the rest of the tenement buildings on Wing Lee Street into 3-4 storey low-rise buildings to commensurate with the existing ambience. The blend of old and new will help revitalizing the area and celebrating the vitality of urban space.

     The proposed development comprising three sites for residential/ commercial uses with Government, Institution or Community facilities for the use of the public and public open space. It ensures conservation of historical buildings and elements and allows for community uses and adaptive re-uses. It has the benefit of restoring the streetscape and the traditional character of 憀anes� and 憈erraces�. It allows for better urban design in the area with low rise development at Site B which provides a valuable breathing space for the adjoining high rise environment, enhancing visual and air ventilation quality. It also provides public open space on the rooftop of Bridges Street Market with at杇rade access from Shing Wong Street. It will further enhance pedestrian linkage, open space and greenery network to improve the living environment of the area and social integration.
