The owners of Beijing Imperial Palace Hotel in Taipa, which has been mothballed since 2016, plans to renovate or redevelop the hotel, according to the proposed legal development conditions for the plot on which the hotel is situated, which were published by the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT) yesterday.
The bureau has drafted the legal development conditions for the plot as the owners have applied to renovate or redevelop the hotel. The legal development conditions propose a height limit of 70 metres on area A of the plot and 140 metres on area B of the plot.
After the bureau has drafted the legal development conditions for particular plots, for both public and private projects, they will be uploaded onto its website for residents to submit their opinions and suggestions. After collecting residents’ opinions and suggestions, the legal development conditions will then be discussed in a regular meeting of the Urban Planning Council (CPU) – a government-appointed consultative body tasked with advising the government on its urban planning policies.
