LC Paper No. CB(1)778/16-17(02) LC Paper No. CB(1)778/16-17(02) Subcommittee on Antiquities and Monuments (Declaration of Proposed Monument)(Hung Lau) Notice Members’ request for information made at the meeting of 31 March 2017 (1) Relevant documents relating to the assessment of Hung Lau and classification of the building as a Grade 1 historic building by the Antiquities Advisory Board (“AAB”) in 1981, and AAB’s subsequent reviews on the grading The heritage value of Hung Lau was considered by the Antiquities Advisory Board (“AAB”) in 1981, 1985, 1995, 2009 and 2011. Since September 2005, AAB has opened up its regular meetings and make available the discussion papers and minutes of the open meetings on its website. As the discussion papers and the minutes of AAB meetings prior to the opening up of meeting (i.e. September 2005) are restricted internal documents, a summary of the relevant meetings is provided below. 2. The grading system for historic buildings has been adopted by AAB since 1980: Grade 1 buildings are those of outstanding merit; Grade 2 buildings are those of special merit; and Grade 3 buildings are those of some merit. Hung Lau was then included in the list of buildings of Chinese style, and was tentatively given a Grade 2 status. 3. At the 22nd AAB meeting of 13 January 1981, it was pointed out that architecturally, Hung Lau was in Western style, and that it should be accorded a Grade 1 status. At the 23rd AAB meeting of 31 March 1981, the AAB considered whether to recommend the Antiquities Authority to declare Hung Lau as monument under section 3(1) of the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance. Members were not in favour of declaring Hung Lau as monument, given direct association between Hung Lau and Dr. Sun Yat-sen could not be established. 1 4. At the 43rd AAB meeting of 30 April 1985, AAB reviewed the position of Grade 1 historic buildings and maintained Hung Lau as a Grade 1 historic building. AAB did not recommend declaring Hung Lau as monument. 5. At the 85th AAB meeting of 28 February 1995, AAB reviewed the grading previously accorded to Hung Lau. The analysis on the heritage value of Hung Lau at the time was broadly the same as what has been set out at Annex B of the latest Legislative Council Brief (Ref.: DEVB/CHO/1B/CR/14/39). This includes the difficulties to ascertain the date of construction of Hung Lau, and the lack of evidence to support the building having direct relation with the revolutionary activities led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, etc. Members noted that the building carried some characteristics of the architecture in the 1920s and 1930s, and that the location and configuration of the present Hung Lau were different from those shown on the survey plan of 1900-1905. Members expressed doubts in the common belief that the present building of Hung Lau per se (vis-à-vis the Castle Peak Farm site as a whole), probably built in the 1920s at the earliest, had direct relationship with the revolutionary activities. Eventually, Members did not adjust the previous grading of Hung Lau accorded by AAB. 6. Since 2005, the following six criteria have been used to assess the heritage value of historic buildings: historical interest, architectural merit, group value, social value and local interest, authenticity, and rarity. The previous grading of Hung Lau was reviewed by AAB as part of the recent grading assessment of 1 444 historic buildings based on the updated assessment criteria. All available materials retrieved from extensive research, as well as views and additional information received during public consultation, had been thoroughly studied. At the 141st AAB meeting of 18 December 2009, AAB confirmed to retain the Grade 1 status of Hung Lau, taking into account the assessment results of the independent Historic Buildings Assessment Panel, the appraisal report on the heritage value of Hung Lau based on the six assessment criteria, and collective memory as one of the important factors for consideration of the grading. In line with established practice, the appraisal report has been uploaded to AAB’s website. 2 7. At the 154th AAB meeting of 15 June 2011, AAB deliberated on the proposal to declare Hung Lau as monument in response to a Member’s request. As it was uncertain whether Hung Lau was built before 1911, thus its relevance to the 1911 Revolution, AAB agreed at the time that Hung Lau would not be considered for declaration as monument for the time being unless there was new information to support the direct relationship between Hung Lau and the revolutionary activities. 8. Please refer to Annex B of the Legislative Council Brief (Ref.: DEVB/CHO/1B/CR/14/39) for the appraisal report on the heritage value of Hung Lau against the latest criteria (i.e. the six assessment criteria mentioned in paragraph 6 above). The discussion paper and minutes of the 141st AAB meeting of 18 December 2009 in relation to Hung Lau is at Annex I and the minutes of the 154th AAB meeting of 15 June 2011 relating to Hung Lau is at Annex II. (2) Independent assessment on Hung Lau 9. Under the prevailing grading system, AAB, having regard to the assessments of the heritage value of individual historic buildings by the independent Historic Buildings Assessment Panel and the views and additional information received from members of the public and the owners of the buildings concerned during public consultation, has accorded Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 status (or nil grade) to individual historic buildings. 10. The independent Historic Buildings Assessment Panel has been formed since March 2005 to undertake in-depth evaluation of the heritage value of historic buildings under the grading assessment. The Panel comprises historians as well as members of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects, the Hong Kong Institute of Planners and the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. The grading system is administrative in nature which provides an objective basis for determining the heritage value, and hence the preservation need, of historic buildings in Hong Kong. 3 11. When AAB confirmed to maintain the Grade 1 status of Hung Lau in December 2009, it had duly considered the assessment results of the independent Historic Buildings Assessment Panel and the views and additional information received during public consultation. As such, a separate independent assessment on the grading of Hung Lau is considered not necessary. Development Bureau April 2017 4 For discussion BOARD PAPER on 18 December 2009 AAB/32/2009-10 MEMORANDUM FOR MEMBERS OF THE ANTIQUITIES ADVISORY BOARD ASSESSMENT OF 1,444 HISTORIC BUILDINGS FINALISATION OF THE GRADINGS OF PROPOSED GRADED BUILDINGS PURPOSE This paper requests Members to consider endorsing the grading of the proposed graded buildings for which no adverse comments have been received. BACKGROUND 2. At the 140th Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB) Meeting held on 4 December 2009, AAB endorsed a three-step way forward as proposed in Board Paper AAB/29/2009-10 to finalise the gradings of the 1,444 historic buildings. Members agreed to the first step of action suggested in the said AAB paper, i.e. to endorse the proposed gradings of buildings for which no adverse comments have been received in the priority order of Grade 1, 2, 3 and nil grading. There are 777 proposed graded items to be dealt with under Step 1. A list of all proposed graded items for which no adverse comments have been received is attached at Annex for Members’ consideration. 3. Government is committed to considering each and every Grade 1 building as put up by AAB for possible monument declaration. In this connection, the according of Grade 1 status has to be meticulously assessed and rigorously justified. It is therefore suggested that the Grade 1 status of items which Members have never paid a visit to before should be confirmed with the benefit of a site visit. However, it should be noticed that prior consent from the owners of buildings not under government ownership has to be obtained before Members can enter into the buildings for inspection. If owners refuse to give their consent for access, site visits can only be arranged for inspection of the exterior of the buildings concerned. 2 4. Given the large number of buildings involved, Members may require several sessions of deliberations in considering the proposed grading. Members will be invited to consider those proposed gradings which have not yet been endorsed batch by batch in the coming meetings. ADVICE SOUGHT 5. With the information provided in paragraphs 1 to 4 above, Members are advised to consider endorsement of the grading of proposed graded items. Members are also welcome to give views as to whether site visits to some Proposed Grade 1 items would be required, before the endorsement of the grading.

  • Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation
    213 Chapter 12 Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation While developing the infrastructure for Hong Kong’s economic growth, the Government is enriching the city’s living environment at the same time through conservation and revitalisation. Organisational Framework The Development Bureau was established on July 1, 2007 following the reorganisation of the Government Secretariat’s Policy Bureaux. It consists of two policy branches: Planning and Lands, and Works. The Development Opportunities Office was set up under the Bureau in 2009. The Planning and Lands Branch is responsible for policy governing planning, development, land use and supply, urban renewal, building safety, and land registration. Its policy objectives are to facilitate Hong Kong’s continual development through effective planning and use of land, a steady and sufficient supply of land, efficient registration of land, promoting and ensuring building safety and timely maintenance, and expediting urban renewal. The Works Branch is responsible for formulating public works policies and co-ordinating and monitoring the implementation of public works projects. It also takes charge of policy matters concerning greening, water supply, slope safety, and flood prevention as well as heritage conservation. The Development Bureau oversees the Planning Department, Lands Department, Buildings Department, Land Registry, Architectural Services Department, Civil Engineering and Development Department, Drainage Services Department, Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and Water Supplies Department. The reorganisation of these nine government departments under one roof ensures more efficient co-ordination and resolution of inter-departmental issues relating to infrastructure development at an early stage. The Development Bureau is also responsible for enhancing the Government’s heritage conservation work and striking a balance between development and 214 Infrastructure Development and Heritage Conservation conservation.

  • Appendix 13.2
    Expansion of Hong Kong International Airport into a Three-Runway System Environmental Impact Assessment Report Appendix 13.2 Population Biology of the Hong Kong/Pearl River Estuary Population of the Chinese White Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ): Literature Review 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. There are sixteen confirmed cetacean species in Hong Kong waters (Jefferson & Hung, 2007) and in March 2009, a Humpback whale was also reported in Hong Kong, which increased the number of recorded species to 17. There have also been two unconfirmed additional species, both baleen whales, in Hong Kong waters. 1.2. Although other cetaceans, including the Bottlenose Dolphin and False Killer Whale, have been previously noted in Hong Kong waters, these sightings are likely to be transient or extralimital records and only two species of cetaceans, the Chinese White Dolphin (CWD) or Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin ( Sousa chinensis ) and the Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoise ( Neophocaena phocaenoides ) are resident. 1.3. There appears to be only a limited overlap in the distribution of the CWD and Finless Porpoise in local Hong Kong waters, as the CWD tends to be predominantly distributed in the western waters, whereas the Finless Porpoise is usually recorded in areas further to the south and east of Hong Kong. The southwestern coast of Lantau around Fan Lau and the Soko Islands represent the only areas in Hong Kong where both species are commonly seen (Parsons et al ., 1995; Jefferson, 2000; Jefferson et al ., 2002). 1.4. As such, only the CWD has been consistently reported within the proposed study area of the extension of the existing Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and the third runway (3RS Project), comprising the area from Tuen Mun to the southwest of the existing airport platform.
