*********************************************
The Town Planning Board today (October 27) announced amendments to the approved Wan Chai Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments involve rezoning various sites to reflect completed developments and refining the Notes of the OZP to clearly set out the development restrictions for the "Commercial" zone and to specify open space requirements for the "Residential (Group A)1" and "Residential (Group A)2" sub-areas.
The draft Wan Chai OZP No. S/H5/24, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Hong Kong District Planning Office and the Wan Chai District Office.
Any person can make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before December 27, 2006. Representations made to the Board will be available for public inspection.
Copies of the draft Wan Chai OZP No. S/H5/24 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 at the Board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
