Draft Ma On Shan Outline Zoning Plan approved
*********************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment in the Ma On Shan area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (May 24).
The planning scheme area, covering about 816 hectares, is located in the eastern New Territories along the southern shore of Tolo Harbour. It is bounded by the Ma On Shan Country Park in the south and east, Tolo Harbour in the north and Sha Tin Hoi (Tide Cove) in the west.
The approved OZP has incorporated an amendment shown on the draft Ma On Shan OZP No. S/MOS/27, which involves incorporation of strips of land located to the south of Chevalier Garden along Mui Tsz Lam Road and near Mui Tsz Lam Village into the planning scheme area and zoning them as "Green Belt".
The Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP are amended to take into account the above amendment. Opportunity is also taken to update the general information of various land use zones and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Ma On Shan OZP No. S/MOS/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 Sha Tin, Tai Po and North District Planning Office, (iv) the Sha Tin District Office and the Ma On Shan Sub-office of the Sha Tin District Office, and (v) the Sha Tin 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 at the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
