Approved North Point Outline Zoning Plan amended
************************************************

    The Town Planning Board today (June 8) announced amendments to the approved North Point Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments mainly involve incorporating building height restrictions for various development zones, rezoning various sites to put the sites under appropriate planning control or to reflect completed developments, and incorporating technical amendments to the Notes of the OZP to tally with the revised Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans endorsed by the board.  

     The draft North Point OZP No. S/H8/20 is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Hong Kong District Planning Office and the Eastern District Office.

     Any person can make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before August 8, 2007.  Representations made to the Board will be available for public inspection.

     Copies of the draft North Point OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei.  The electronic version of the plan can be viewed at the board's website at http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb/.
