*********************************************
The Town Planning Board today (December 2) announced amendments to the approved Tuen Mun Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of an area at Tuen Mun Area 38 from "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Special Industries Area" to "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Resource Recovery Park" to facilitate the development of a resource recovery park catering for recycling industries.
Opportunity is also taken to update the Notes of the OZP in accordance with the refined Revised Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans.
The draft Tuen Mun OZP No. S/TM/21, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during 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 Tuen Mun District Office and the Tuen Mun Rural Committee.
Any person can make representation in respect of the amendments in writing to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before February 2, 2006. Representations made to the board will be available for public inspection.
