Located at the north of Yuen Long Town Centre, the Public Rental Housing development at the reduced site for Ex-Yuen Long Estate shall provide 438 flats in early 2016. The small elongated site is about 0.43 hectare, bounded by heavily trafficked roads on three sides. Apart from the emission impact from the adjacent factory buildings, the site layout is subject to the notable nuisance due to the elevated MTR viaduct of Long Ping Station. Like many other residential developments in urban context of Hong Kong that have lots of environmental constraints, the site is lack of open space and subject to complex geotechnical constraints. It lies within both the Scheduled Area No. 2 (North West New Territories) and Scheduled Area No. 3 (Railway protection areas). Ground Investigation information reveals that the site is underlain by interbedded layers of hard and soft materials from approximately 20m-130m deep.
