********************************************
The Town Planning Board today (November 22) announced amendments to the approved Sha Tin Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of Shek Mun Estate, together with an adjacent strip of land zoned "Open Space", to "Residential (Group A)4" to facilitate public housing development. The Notes of the Plan are also amended to reflect the "Residential (Group A)4" sub-area with stipulation of gross floor area and building height restrictions and provision to the Notes of the "Residential (Group A)4" zone for minor relaxation of these restrictions.
The draft Sha Tin OZP No. S/ST/29, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board; the Planning Enquiry Counters in the North Point and Sha Tin Government Offices; the Sha Tin, Tai Po and North District Planning Office; the Sha Tin District Office; and the Sha Tin Rural Committee.
Any person can make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before January 22, 2014. Representations made to the Board will be available for public inspection.
Copies of the draft 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 Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb/).
