Draft Kam Tin North Outline Zoning Plan approved
************************************************
     ýÿThe Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Kam Tin North Outline Zoning Plan (OZP). 
      
     "The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Kam Tin North area", a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (December 15). 
      
     The planning scheme area, covering about 599 hectares, is bounded by the Lam Tsuen Country Park in the north and the east, the Castle Peak Road - Tam Mi and San Tin Highway in the west and Kam Tin Road in the south.
      
     The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Kam Tin North OZP No. S/YL-KTN/10, which mainly involve (i) rezoning two sites at Mo Fan Heung and Fung Kat Heung from "Industrial (Group D)" ("I(D)") and "Agriculture" to "Residential (Group A)" for public housing development; (ii) rezoning a site to the south of Fung Kat Heung Road from "I(D)" to "Government, Institution or Community" for provision of supporting government, institution and community facilities for the community; and (iii) rezoning a site at Fung Kat Heung from "I(D)" to "Residential (Group C)3" to reflect the use and development bulk of three existing buildings.
      
     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 approved Kam Tin North OZP No. S/YL-KTN/11 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Fanling, Sheung Shui and Yuen Long East District Planning Office, (iv) the Yuen Long District Office, (v) the Kam Tin Rural Committee and (vi) the Pat Heung Rural Committee.
