*************************************************
The Town Planning Board today (February 24) announced amendments to the approved Kowloon Tong Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve imposing building height restrictions for "Commercial", "Residential (Group C)", "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC") and "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Sports and Recreation Club" zones; and rezoning an area at the junction of Hereford Road and Renfrew Road from "Open Space" to "G/IC(8)".
Opportunity is also taken to update the Notes of the OZP in accordance with the latest refinements to the Revised Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans.
The draft Kowloon Tong OZP No. S/K18/12 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 Kowloon District Planning Office and the Kowloon City District Office.
Anyone can make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before April 24, 2006. Representations made to the Town Planning Board will be made available for public inspection.
Copies of the draft plan are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres 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.
