*******************************************************
The Town Planning Board (TPB) promulgated today (March 25) its revised Guidelines for Application for Kindergarten/ Child Care Centre in Kowloon Tong Garden Estate.
In view of the traffic congestion problems in the Kowloon Tong Garden Estate area, a new requirement is incorporated in the revised Guidelines. It sets out that any new application for kindergarten/child care centre use in the Kowloon Tong Garden Estate area has to be supported by a traffic impact assessment to examine possible traffic problems that may be caused by the proposed kindergarten/child care centre and to propose mitigation measures to tackle the problems, if required.
The revised guidelines (TPB PG-No. 23A) are now available at the TPB's secretariat at 15/F, North Point Government Offices, 333 Java Road, North Point, Hong Kong (tel: 2231 4810 or 2231 4835) and the TPB's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
Any enquiries on the above may be addressed to the TPB Secretariat at the above address or by email (tpbpd@pland.gov.hk), or to the Planning Enquiry Counters of the Planning Department (hotline: 2231 5000; email: enquire@pland.gov.hk) at 17/F, North Point Government Offices and 14/F, Sha Tin Government Offices, 1 Sheung Wo Che Road, Sha Tin.
