The Town Planning Board today (May 12) announced amendments to the approved Chai Wan Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments mainly involve (i) rezoning of a site to the south of Chai Wan Swimming Pool from "Green Belt" and "Government, Institution or Community" to "Residential (Group A)" ("R(A)") for public housing development; and (ii) rezoning of a site to the immediate west of the MTR Chai Wan Station from "Comprehensive Development Area" to "R(A)" to reflect the as-built development.
      
     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 scheme area, where appropriate.

     The draft Chai Wan OZP No. S/H20/26, incorporating the amendments, is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Hong Kong District Planning Office and (iv) the Eastern Home Affairs Enquiry Centre.
      
     Any person may make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before July 12. Any person who intends to make a representation is advised to read the Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 29B on "Submission and Publication of Representations, Comments on Representations and Further Representations under the Town Planning Ordinance" (TPB PG-No. 29B).

     Submission of a representation should comply with the requirements set out in TPB PG-No. 29B. In particular, the representer should take note of the following:

* If the representer fails to provide his or her full name and the first four alphanumeric characters of his or her Hong Kong identity card or passport number as required under TPB PG-No. 29B, the representation submitted shall be treated as not having been made; and
* The Secretariat of the Town Planning Board reserves the right to require the representer to provide identity proof for verification.

     The Guidelines and the submission form are available at the above locations (i) and (ii) and on the Town Planning Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
