The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Urban Renewal Authority (URA) Hai Tan Street/Kweilin Street and Pei Ho Street Development Scheme plan (DSP).
"The approved DSP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the implementation of the URA Hai Tan Street/Kweilin Street and Pei Ho Street Development Scheme", a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (June 13).
The Development Scheme Area, covering about 0.74 hectare, comprises three linked sites, namely Sites A, B and C fronting Hai Tan Street and dissected by Kweilin Street. A section of Pei Ho Street between Hai Tan Street and Tung Chau Street, which will be closed to traffic, is also included in the area.
The area is zoned "Comprehensive Development Area" which is intended for comprehensive development/redevelopment of the area for residential and/or commercial uses with the provision of open space and other supporting facilities.
The approved DSP No. S/K5/URA2/2 is now available for public inspection during normal office hours at the secretariat of the Town Planning Board, the planning enquiry counters of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin, the Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office and the Sham Shui Po District Office.
Copies of the approved DSP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the DSP can be viewed at the Town Planning Board's website at www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
