Draft Wang Tau Hom and Tung Tau Outline Zoning Plan approved
************************************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Wang Tau Hom and Tung Tau area," a spokesperson for the Town Planning Board said today (May 5).
The planning scheme area, covering about 184 hectares, is located in Central Kowloon within Wong Tai Sin District. It is bounded by Junction Road/Chuk Yuen Road and Lion Rock Tunnel Road to the west, Choi Hung Road and Shatin Pass Road to the east, and Tung Tau Tsuen Road/Tung Tsing Road and Prince Edward Road East to the south. To the north, the boundary of the area extends up to the foothills of the Lion Rock.
The approved OZP has incorporated an amendment shown on the draft Wang Tau Hom and Tung Tau OZP No. S/K8/24, which involves the rezoning of a site at Ching Tak Street from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Residential (Group A)1" for public housing development with provision of government, institution or community facilities.
Opportunity is also taken to amend the Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the above amendment and to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Wang Tau Hom and Tung Tau OZP No. S/K8/25 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Kowloon District Planning Office and (iv) the Wong Tai Sin 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).
