The Town Planning Board today (April 8) announced amendments to the approved Tai Tong Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments involved rezoning of the former Au Tau Departmental Quarters site at Yau Shin Street and the adjoining slopes from "Government, Institution or Community" and "Green Belt" to "Residential (Group A)" to facilitate public rental housing development. A set of Notes for the new "Residential (Group A)" zone is also added to the Notes of the OZP.
The draft Tai Tong OZP No. S/YL-TT/15, incorporating the amendments, 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 Tuen Mun and Yuen Long District Planning Office, the Yuen Long District Office and the Shap Pat Heung Rural Committee.
Any person may make written representation regarding the amendments to the secretary of the Board on or before June 8, 2011. Representations made to the Board will be available for public inspection.
Copies of the draft plan 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 www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
