Draft Lam Tei and Yick Yuen Outline Zoning Plan approved
********************************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Lam Tei and Yick Yuen area", a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (March 27).
The planning scheme area covers an area of about 474.93 hectares of land in the southwestern part of the New Territories North West. It is bounded by the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area and Yuen Tau Shan in the north, Tan Kwai Tsuen in the northeast, Tai Lam Country Park in the east and southeast, the Tsing Shan Firing Range in the west, and Fu Tai Estate, Tsz Tin Tsuen and Po Tong Ha in the south.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Lam Tei and Yick Yuen OZP No. S/TM-LTYY/13, which mainly involve (i) rezoning a site near San Hing Road from "Residential (Group E)" and "Village Type Development" to "Residential (Group A)1" ("R(A)1"); and (ii) rezoning a site near Light Rail Lam Tei Station from "Residential (Group B)1" to "R(A)2".
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 Lam Tei and Yick Yuen OZP No. S/TM-LTYY/14 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Tuen Mun and Yuen Long West District Planning Office, (iv) the Tuen Mun District Office, and (v) the Tuen Mun Rural Committee.
