****************************************************
The Town Planning Board today (September 25) announced amendments to the approved Mid-levels East Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve the imposition of new building height restrictions on sites zoned "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC") with a view to providing better planning control and meeting public aspirations for a better living environment. The existing Lingnan Primary School and Kindergarten site is also rezoned from "Comprehensive Development Area" to "G/IC" to reflect its existing school use.
The draft Mid-levels East OZP No S/H12/11, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Hong Kong District Planning Office and the Wan Chai District Office.
Any person can make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before November 25. Representations made to the board will be available for public inspection.
Copies of the draft plan are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the OZP can be viewed at the Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
