Draft Tsim Sha Tsui Outline Zoning Plan approved
************************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Tsim Sha Tsui area", a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (October 17).
The planning scheme area, covering about 192 hectares, is located at the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula. It is bounded by Victoria Harbour to the south, southwest and southeast; Jordan Road and Gascoigne Road to the north; and Hung Hom Bay Reclamation to the east.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Tsim Sha Tsui OZP No. S/K1/29, which mainly involve revising the building height restriction from 45 metres above Principal Datum (mPD) to 90mPD for the "Government, Institution or Community" zone currently occupied by the main campus of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University at Yuk Choi Road.
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 Tsim Sha Tsui OZP No. S/K1/30 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 Yau Tsim Mong District Office.
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).
