Draft Shek Kip Mei Outline Zoning Plan approved
***********************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Shek Kip Mei area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (September 23).
The planning scheme area, covering about 262 hectares, is bounded by MTR East Rail Line to the east, Boundary Street to the south, Berwick Street and Tai Po Road to the west and the foothills of Pat Ka Shan (Beacon Hill) at Tai Wo Ping to the north.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Shek Kip Mei OZP No. S/K4/30, which mainly involved the rezoning of a site at Chak On Road South abutting Nam Cheong Street from "Government, Institution or Community" and "Residential (Group A)" to "Residential (Group A)2" for public housing development.
Opportunity is also taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the above amendments and to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Shek Kip Mei OZP No. S/K4/31 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office and (iv) the Sham Shui Po District Office.
Copies of the approved 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 (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
