1. The URA has completed a streetblock plan to guide the development of the two row of terrace houses located along Emerald Hill Road and Saunders Road as shown in the attached plan URA/CUD Plan Release 1/2006E.

2. The terrace houses were originally built with the front facade aligned to give a clear building edge within the two street blocks. They are designated as envelope control sites in the Emerald Hill Conservation Plan.
