The Project Site is located in a densely populated area in Central dominated by residential and commercial buildings. It is bounded by Hollywood Road to the north, Arbuthnot Road to the east, Chancery Lane to the south and Old Bailey Street to the west. The local air quality is influenced mainly by vehicle emissions from the nearby roads. Within the Study Area (ie 500m from the Project Site boundary), no existing industrial development was identified, but three stacks operated by restaurants are found to be in operation.

The nearest EPD’s Air Quality Monitoring Station (AQMS) is located at the Central/Western District. The last 5 years annual average concentrations (2005-2009) of air pollutants measured at this AQMS have been adopted as the background air quality

Sensitive Receptors
