Draft Pak Lap Outline Zoning Plan amended
*****************************************
     The Town Planning Board today (April 3) announced amendments to the draft Pak Lap Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
 
     In response to the Court's rulings on a judicial review against the decision of the Chief Executive in Council made to approve the three draft OZPs for Pak Lap, Hoi Ha and So Lo Pun and the decision of the Board made to submit the three draft OZPs to the Chief Executive in Council for approval, the Board has reviewed the issue on the genuine need for Small House development in respect of the Pak Lap OZP.
 
     The Board has now made amendments to the Pak Lap OZP as outlined in the Schedule of Amendments. The amendments mainly involve rezoning of an area to the south of the village cluster at Pak Lap from "Village Type Development" to "Government, Institution or Community (1)" ("G/IC(1)") and an area further to the south of the village cluster at Pak Lap from "G/IC" to "Conservation Area". Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the above amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
 
     The draft Pak Lap OZP No. S/SK-PL/3, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board; the Planning Enquiry Counters of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin; the Sai Kung and Islands District Planning Office; the Sai Kung District Office; and the Sai Kung Rural Committee.
     ýÿ
     Any person may make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before June 3. Representations made to the Board will be available for public inspection.
 
     Copies of the draft Pak Lap 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).
