*****************************************
The Town Planning Board today (November 11) announced amendments to the draft San Tin Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments involve the revision to the definition of "existing building" in the covering Notes of the OZP by deleting the reference to "and any other Government requirements, as may be applicable".
The Remarks of the Notes for the various zones with control relating to filling of land, filling of pond or excavation of land have been refined to reflect clearly the intended control.
The draft San Tin OZP No. S/YL-ST/7 incorporating the amendments is now available for public inspection during normal office hours at the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Tuen Mun and Yuen Long District Planning Office, the Yuen Long District Office, and the San Tin Rural Committee.
Anyone affected by the amendments can submit a written objection to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board by December 2.
Copies of the draft plan are available for sale at the Map Publications Centre in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the plan can be viewed on the Town Planning Board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
