Draft Pok Fu Lam Outline Zoning Plan approved
*********************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment in the Pok Fu Lam area," a spokesperson for the Town Planning Board said today (June 9).
The planning scheme area, covering about 413 hectares, is bounded by Mount Davis Road to the north and Pok Fu Lam Country Park to the east. The area extends to the waterfront to its south and west.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Pok Fu Lam OZP No. S/H10/20, which mainly involve rezoning a site to the east of 3 Sassoon Road from "Green Belt" to "Government, Institution or Community (1)" for campus expansion of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, and rezoning a site at 131 Pok Fu Lam Road from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Residential (Group C)7" for residential 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 Pok Fu Lam OZP No. S/H10/21 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Hong Kong District Planning Office and (iv) the Southern Home Affairs Enquiry Centre.
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).
