The Board had statutory power to impose site-specific BHRs, NBAs and setbacks and its iterative process incorporating expert AVAs provided sufficient evidential basis for the restrictions imposed; the Court will defer to the Board on planning and design judgments except where a specific measure lacks cogent justification — here the 5m NBA at Hysan Place was arbitrary and is quashed; all other challenges dismissed and the Wanchai judicial review dismissed in full.
