Draft Tai Tong Outline Zoning Plan approved
*******************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Tai Tong area", a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (December 15).
The planning scheme area, covering about 960 hectares, is bounded by the ridge of Ho Hok Shan and Kam Tin South in the east, Castle Peak Road - Yuen Long in the north, Yuen Long Highway in the northwest, Kiu Hing Road and Pak Sha Shan Road in the west and Tai Lam Country Park in the south.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Tai Tong OZP No. S/YL-TT/19, which involve rezoning two sites near Chuk San Tsuen and Kong Tau San Tsuen respectively from "Agriculture" ("AGR") to "Residential (Group A)1" for public housing development and from "AGR" to "Government, Institution or Community" for provision of a primary school.
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 Tai Tong OZP No. S/YL-TT/20 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Tuen Mun and Yuen Long West District Planning Office, (iv) the Yuen Long District Office and (v) the Shap Pat Heung Rural Committee.
Copies of the approved 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 on the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
