The government today (20th) disclosed the details of the development of the Fanling Golf Course site, and will build 12,000 units of public housing on the land reclaimed next year.
A consortium took the lead in filing an application for rezoning of the surrounding land with the Town Planning Board, planning to build seven residential buildings on the land north of the golf course, involving 969 units.
In the middle of the land is the Grade 1 historical building "Love Garden Villa". The applicant claims that the building will be retained and will be expanded into a clubhouse, connecting the swimming pool and the garden.
Looking through the information, the land is owned by the Xu Shixun family of China Construction Group. Xu Shixun reduced the scale of development four years ago to "break through", but after Xu Shixun's death, the Town Planning Commission stopped processing his rezoning application, and the Xu family then reapplied on paper. 676 units were built, and new applications increased by more than 30% compared with the original plan.

According to the design outline, in addition to the clubhouse at the location opposite the Fanling Highway, the "Love Garden Villa" will also be converted into a single-storey clubhouse, connected to a private swimming pool, and a "sunken garden" on the other side.
The residential towers will be built around the "Love Garden Villa" and will be designed in a stepped design. The southeast side will be a medium-to-high-density development, while the northwest side, which is closest to the "Golf View Garden", will be a low-density development.
