​The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Tsuen Wan West Outline Zoning Plan (OZP). 

     "The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Tsuen Wan West area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (November 24). 
      
     The planning scheme area, covering about 451 hectares, is defined by the Tai Lam Country Park boundary to the north, Ma Wan Fairway to the south, Tuen Mun New Town to the west, and the boundary of Tsuen Wan OZP to the east.
      
     The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Tsuen Wan West OZP No. S/TWW/20, which mainly involves the rezoning of two sites for private residential developments with social welfare facilities, including a site to the west of Rhine Garden in Sham Tseng from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Residential (Group A) 5", and a site abutting the roundabout of Castle Peak Road - New Ting Kau from "Comprehensive Development Area (1)", "Green Belt" and an area shown as 'Road' to "Residential (Group B) 2". 
      
     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 Tsuen Wan West OZP No. S/TWW/21 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office, (iv) the Tsuen Wan District Office and (v) the Tsuen Wan Rural Committee.
      
     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 on the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
