The Town Planning Board today (March 13) announced amendments to the approved So Kwun Wat Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of a site to the north of Castle Peak Road - Tai Lam from "Green Belt" to "Residential (Group B) 2" with stipulation of plot ratio and building height restrictions for housing development. The Notes and the Explanatory Statement of the OZP are also amended to mainly reflect the corresponding amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings.
