​The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Tsuen Wan Outline Zoning Plan (OZP). 
      
     "The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Tsuen Wan area", a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (July 18). 
      
     The planning scheme area, covering about 743.48 hectares, includes Tsuen Wan Valley and its adjoining areas and forms part of the Tsuen Wan New Town. The area extends from Wo Yi Hop Road in the east to Yau Kom Tau in the west.
      
     The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Tsuen Wan OZP No. S/TW/38, which mainly involve (i) rezoning a site at the junction of Wing Shun Street and Texaco Road from "Government, Institution or Community (9)" to "Residential (Group A) 22" for private residential development; and (ii) rezoning a site at the junction of Ma Tau Pa Road and Texaco Road from "Comprehensive Development Area (1)" to "Commercial (7)" to facilitate redevelopment of the existing industrial buildings for commercial uses.
      
     The Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP have been amended to reflect the above amendments. Opportunity is also taken to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
      
     The approved Tsuen Wan OZP No. S/TW/39 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, (iv) the Tsuen Wan District Office and (v) the Tsuen Wan Rural Committee.
      
     Copies of the approved OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centre in North Point. The electronic version of the OZP can be viewed at the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
