Draft Hung Hom Outline Zoning Plan approved
*******************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Hung Hom area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (June 10).
The planning scheme area, covering about 145 hectares, is located in the southeastern part of the Kowloon Peninsula. It is bounded by Ngan Hon Street to the north, Chatham Road North and the MTR East Rail Line and Hung Hom Station to the west, Kowloon Bay to the east and Victoria Harbour to the south.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Hung Hom OZP No. S/K9/27, which mainly involved the rezoning of a site at the south of Hung Luen Road from "Comprehensive Development Area (1)" to "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Hotel (1)" and another site at the junction of Hung Luen Road and Kin Wan Street from "Comprehensive Development Area (2)" to "Commercial (7)". An area of the OZP replaced by the approved Urban Renewal Authority To Kwa Wan Road/Wing Kwong Street Development Scheme Plan is also indicated on the OZP.
Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the above amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Hung Hom OZP No. S/K9/28 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Kowloon District Planning Office and (vi) the Kowloon City District Office.
Copies of the approved OZP 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 Town Planning Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
