Draft Tseung Kwan O Outline Zoning Plan approved
************************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Tseung Kwan O area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (October 17).
The planning scheme area, covering about 1 761 hectares, is located at the southern part of Sai Kung District in the South East New Territories. It is bounded by Clear Water Bay Peninsula to the east, Junk Bay to the south, Lam Tin and Sau Mau Ping areas to the west, and Tseng Lan Shue and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to the north. The area is surrounded by steep sloping hills in the north, east and west, and is physically segregated from East Kowloon and Clear Water Bay Peninsula.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Tseung Kwan O OZP No. S/TKO/31, which mainly involve (i) incorporation of two sea areas in Fat Tong O into the planning scheme boundary and zoning/rezoning of these sea areas and adjoining Tseung Kwan O Area 137 for primarily residential and government, institution or community developments; and (ii) incorporation of another sea area in Chiu Keng Wan of Tseung Kwan O Area 132 into the planning scheme boundary and zoning it primarily for public facility developments.
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 zones and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Tseung Kwan O OZP No. S/TKO/32 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Sai Kung and Islands District Planning Office, (iv) the Sai Kung District Office, and (v) the Hang Hau 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).
