**********************************************************
The Town Planning Board today (March 16) announced amendments to the approved Central District (Extension) Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve revision to the Notes of the OZP in accordance with the revised Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans. Other amendments include the incorporation of a minor relaxation clause for building height restrictions into the Remarks of the Notes for "Commercial", "Comprehensive Development Area", "Government, Institution or Community" and "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Waterfront Related Commercial and Leisure Uses" zones, to allow flexibility for the building height restrictions.
The draft Central District (Extension) OZP No. S/H24/7, 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 Hong Kong District Planning Office, the Central and Western District Office and the Wan Chai District Office.
Any person may make written representation in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Board on or before May 16. Representations made to the 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 on the Board's website at www.info.gov.hk/tpb.
