Approved Lung Yeuk Tau and Kwan Tei South Outline Zoning Plan and approved Hok Tau Outline Zoning Plan amended
***************************************************************

     The Town Planning Board today (December 17) announced amendments to the approved Lung Yeuk Tau and Kwan Tei South Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) and the approved Hok Tau OZP.

     The amendments mainly involve the rezoning of a site to the north of Shan Lai Court from "Residential (Group B)" and "Residential (Group A)" to "Residential (Group A)1" to facilitate public housing development in the Lung Yeuk Tau area, and excision of a piece of land to the southeast of Shung Him Tong Village from the planning scheme area of the Hok Tau OZP for incorporation into the Lung Yeuk Tau and Kwan Tei South OZP, and rezoning that piece of land together with its adjoining land to the west from "Green Belt" and "Agriculture" to "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Cemetery" to reflect its existing cemetery use.

     Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statements of the OZPs to reflect the above amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning area, where appropriate.

     The draft Lung Yeuk Tau and Kwan Tei South OZP No. S/NE-LYT/18 and the draft Hok Tau OZP No. S/NE-HT/6, incorporating the amendments, are now available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Sha Tin, Tai Po and North District Planning Office, (iv) the North District Office and (v) the Fanling District Rural Committee.

     Any person may make written representations in respect of any of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before February 17, 2022. Any person who intends to make a representation is advised to read the Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 29B on "Submission and Publication of Representations, Comments on Representations and Further Representations under the Town Planning Ordinance" (TPB PG-No. 29B).
