Table 7  Assumptions on Roadspace, Open Space and School Facility Provision

(a) Roadspace: Roadspace is assumed to be one sixth (16.7%) of DSA except for podium development in which no internal roads are required.

(b) Open Space: 1m2 of LOS per person when there are more than 500 persons.

(c) School  facilities

[Table Summary]

Provision assumptions:

Facility Site Area Threshold for provision
First Primary School (30 classrooms) 6,200m2 6,700 persons
Second Primary School (30 classrooms) 6,200m2 20,100 persons
Third Primary School (30 classrooms) 6,200m2 33,500 persons
First Secondary School 6,950m2 7,500 persons
Second Secondary School 6,950m2 22,500 persons
Third Secondary School 6,950m2 37,500 persons

Notes:

  1. Full population thresholds: 13,400 for 30-classrooms primary schools and 15,000 for secondary schools; based on 7.3% and 9.0% of the total population aged 6 to 11 and 12 to 18 respectively. The percentage shares of student age group are derived from population age structure and projected age structure of transients in mid-1999 from Census and Statistics Department.
  1. Where a population generates sufficient pupils to take up over half the places in a school, a school is allowed for within the DSA of that development. The population thresholds for the first 30-classroom primary and secondary school are therefore 6,700 and 7,500 respectively, and for the second, 20,100 and 22,500, and so on.

[Table Summary]

Population thresholds for school site area increments:

Population threshold Total school facilities Total site area of school facilities (m2)
6,700 1PS 6,200
7,500 1PS +1SS 13,150
20,100 2PS + 1SS  19,350
22,500 2PS + 2SS  26,300
33,500 3PS + 2SS  32,500
