The tribunal held the Lot was not a Class A site because Yu Lok Lane as a whole did not satisfy the definition of a specified street of at least 4.5m in overall width; consequently the Lot was an unclassified site and, on balance of probabilities and expert evidence, the Building Authority would have permitted a 3-storey plus cockloft non-domestic redevelopment under reg 19(3); adopting that hypothetical development and residual valuation parameters the market value as at the date of resumption (9 April 2009) was $2,530,000, which the respondent must pay as compensation.
