Approved Shek Kip Mei Outline Zoning Plan amended
*************************************************

    The Town Planning Board today (February 6) announced amendments to the approved Shek Kip Mei Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

    The amendments mainly involve rezoning a site at 62 Begonia Road from "Government, Institution or Community (3)" ("G/IC(3)") to "Residential (Group C) 10" ("R(C)10"); rezoning a slope area to the east of Tai Hang Tung Estate from "G/IC(3)" to "Residential (Group A)"; and revising the Notes for the "Residential (Group C)" zone to incorporate the new Notes for the "R(C)10" sub-area.

    The draft Shek Kip Mei OZP No. S/K4/22 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 Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office and the Sham Shui Po District Office.

    Any person may make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before April 7, 2008.  Representations made to the Town Planning Board will be available for public inspection.

    Copies of the draft 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 Town Planning Board's website at www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
