​The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Ping Shan Outline Zoning Plan (OZP). 

     "The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Ping Shan area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (May 22). 

     The planning scheme area, covering about 356 hectares, is located in the western part of the North West New Territories. It is bounded by the Tin Shui Wai New Town and the Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen New Development Area in the west, Castle Peak Road in the south, Yuen Long New Town in the east and the fish ponds in Lau Fau Shan and Tsim Bei Tsui in the north.

     The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Ping Shan OZP No. S/YL-PS/21, which mainly involve (i) rezoning a site at Wing Ning Tsuen from "Green Belt" ("GB") to "Residential (Group A)7" for a private residential development; (ii) rezoning four land parcels at Wing Ning Tsuen from "Comprehensive Development Area" ("CDA") and "GB" to "Residential (Group A)8" for public housing development; (iii) rezoning a strip of land along the Mass Transit Railway Tuen Ma Line viaduct from "CDA", "GB" and an area shown as 'Tuen Ma Line Emergency Access Point' to an area shown as 'Road' to reflect the as-built condition; (iv) rezoning two pieces of land at Wing Ning Tsuen from "GB" to "Government, Institution or Community" for re-provisioning of a village office and ancillary village facilities; (v) rezoning a site to the north of Castle Peak Road - Ping Shan from "CDA" and "Village Type Development" to "Residential (Group A)9" for a private residential development and residential care home for the elderly with retail shop; (vi) rezoning a site to the southeast of Tong Fong Tsuen and west of the junction of Ping Ha Road and Castle Peak Road - Ping Shan from "CDA" to "Residential (Group E)1" and a site to the northeast of the junction of Ping Ha Road and Castle Peak Road - Ping Shan from "CDA" to "Residential (Group B)2" to reflect the existing conditions; and (vii) adjustment to the zoning boundary of "CDA" zone at Yung Yuen Road.

     The Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP are 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 Ping Shan OZP No. S/YL-PS/22 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 and (v) the Ping Shan 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).
