a) Beneficial impact: the impact is beneficial if the Project will enhance the preservation of the heritage site(s);
b) Acceptable impact: if the assessment indicates that there will be no significant effects on the heritage site(s);
c) Acceptable impact with mitigation measures: if there will be some adverse effects, but these can be eliminated, reduced or offset to a large extent by specific measures, such as conducting a follow-up Conservation Proposal or Conservation Management Plan for the affected heritage site(s) before the commencement of work in order to avoid any inappropriate and unnecessary interventions to the buildings;
d) Unacceptable impact: if the adverse effects are considered to be too excessive and are unable to mitigate practically; and
e) Undetermined impact: if the significant adverse effects are likely, but the extent to which they may occur or may be mitigated cannot be determined from the HIA Study. Further detailed study will be required for the specific effects in question.

Gatehouse of Pok Ngar
Villa |
Potential
direct impacts due to damages through contacting with construction
machineries and site negligence
would be anticipated. Indirect impacts of ground-borne vibration, tilting and
settlement would be anticipated. |
Acceptable impact with mitigation measures |
Pre- and post-condition surveys. A buffer zone of 5 m from Gatehouse of Pok Ngar Villa should be set
up, in which no construction machineries and construction storage should
trespass the buffer zone. Fencing should
also be set up to clearly demarcate the buffer zone. Monitoring of vibration, settlement and
tilting incorporated with AAA system shall be employed. A monitoring proposal should be submitted
to AMO for comments before commencement of the works. |
Li Cottage |
Direct impacts would not be
anticipated. Indirect impacts of ground-borne vibration, tilting
and settlement would be anticipated. |
Acceptable impact with mitigation measures |
Pre- and post-condition surveys. Monitoring of vibration, settlement and
