*****************************************
The Town Planning Board today (December 23) announced amendments to the draft San Tin Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments involve the revision to the definition of "existing building" in the covering Notes of the OZP by deleting the reference to "and any other Government requirements, as may be applicable".
Opportunity is also taken to refine the Remarks of the Notes for the various zones with control relating to filling of land, filling of pond or excavation of land to clearly reflect the intended control.
The draft San Tin OZP No. S/YL-ST/7 incorporating the amendments is now available for public inspection during normal office hours at the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Tuen Mun and Yuen Long District Planning Office, the Yuen Long District Office, and the San Tin Rural Committee.
Any person affected by the amendments can submit a written objection to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before January 13, 2006.
Copies of the draft plan are available for sale at the Map Publications Centre in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the plan can be viewed on the Town Planning Board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
