Draft Yuen Long Outline Zoning Plan approved
********************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Yuen Long area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (April 10).
The planning scheme area, covering about 561 hectares, is bounded by the outer edge of Yuen Long INNOPARK in the north, Yuen Long Highway in the south, the Yuen Long Kau Hui group of villages in the east and Long Tin Road in the west.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Yuen Long OZP No. S/YL/28, which involve (i) rezoning a site at the junction of Shap Pat Heung Road and Tai Shu Ha Road East from "Village Type Development" to "Residential (Group A)9" for private residential development; (ii) rezoning a site near the junction of Shap Pat Heung Road and Yuen Long Tai Yuk Road from "Government, Institution or Community" to "Residential (Group A)10" for private residential development with social welfare facilities; and (iii) rezoning a site to the west of Yuen Long Pau Cheung Square from "Residential (Group A)" to "Residential (Group A)11" for private residential-cum-residential care home(s) for the elderly development.
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 Yuen Long OZP No. S/YL/29 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 Yuen Long District Office, (v) the Ping Shan Heung Rural Committee and (vi) the Shap Pat Heung 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 on the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
