The amendments mainly involve (i) stipulation of Area (a) & Area (b) and building height restrictions for a "Comprehensive Development Area" ("CDA") zone to the north of Hang Tau Village fronting Hang Tau Road for phased residential developments, and (ii) rezoning of a site to the south of Kwu Tung Road and to the west of Hang Tau Road from mainly "CDA" with minor portions zoned "Agriculture" and an area shown as 'Road' to "CDA(3)" with stipulation of building height restriction for residential development, to take forward the decisions of the Rural and New Town Planning Committee of the Town Planning Board on two Section 12A applications.
