****************************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Tung Chung Valley area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (June 12).
The planning scheme area, covering about 168 hectares, is located in the northern part of Lantau Island to the southwest of Tung Chung Town Centre area. It is encircled by the Lantau North (Extension) Country Park to the west, south and southeast, Tung Chung Bay to the north and Tung Chung Town Centre to the northeast.
The approved OZP has incorporated the amendments shown on the draft Tung Chung Valley OZP No. S/I-TCV/3, which involve (i) rezoning a site at the junction of Yu Tung Road and Chung Mun Road from "Residential (Group C) 2" to "Residential (Group B)" for a private residential development; (ii) rezoning six strips of land near Hau Wong Temple, Ngau Au and Shek Mun Kap from area shown as 'Road' to "Commercial (2)", "Open Space" ("O"), "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC"), "Village Type Development", "Green Belt", "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Polder" and "Conservation Area"; (iii) rezoning a piece of land near Hau Wong Temple from "G/IC" to "O"; and (iv) revision of the Building Height Restriction of a piece of land to the south of Hau Wong Temple zoned "G/IC" from four storeys to one storey.
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 Tung Chung Valley OZP No. S/I-TCV/4 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 Islands District Office, (v) the Islands District Office Tung Chung Sub-office, and (vi) the Tung Chung Rural Committee.
