The Town Planning Board today (March 22) announced amendments to the approved Shouson Hill & Repulse Bay Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve rezoning of a site at the junction of Shouson Hill Road West and Wong Chuk Hang Path from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Residential (Group C)3" for residential development to meet the demand for housing land. Opportunity is also taken to revise the covering Notes in accordance with the revised Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans and revise the exemption clause for plot ratio and site coverage calculation in relation to caretaker's quarters and recreational facilities in the Remarks of the Notes for the "Residential (Group B)" and "Residential (Group C)" zones.
The draft Shouson Hill & Repulse Bay OZP No. S/H17/12, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at the Secretariat of the Board, the Planning Enquiry Counters of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin, the Hong Kong District Planning Office and the Southern District Office.
Any person may make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before May 22. Representations made to the Board will be available for public inspection.
Copies of the draft Shouson Hill & Repulse Bay 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 at the Board's website at www.info.gov.hk/tpb/.
