​The Town Planning Board today (July 17) announced amendments to the approved Tuen Mun Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).

     The amendments mainly involve (i) revising the building height restrictions (BHRs) from 1/4/10 storey(s) to 120 metres above Principal Datum for the "Government, Institution or Community" ("G/IC") zones currently occupied by the Main Campus and Multi Purpose Outdoor Sports Ground of the Lingnan University in Tuen Mun Area 52; (ii) rezoning a strip of land to the east of Tuen Mun River Channel from "Open Space" to "G/IC" and deletion of the BHR for the southern portion of "G/IC" zone to the west of Hoi Wong Road in Tuen Mun Area 16 for the proposed sports ground and open space with public vehicle park; (iii) rezoning a strip of land to the east of Lam Tei Interchange from area shown as 'Road' to "Village Type Development" for village development; and (iv) various zoning amendments and revisions to BHRs to reflect the as-built condition of completed developments.

     The Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP are amended to take into account the above amendments. Opportunity is also taken to update the general information of various land use zones and the planning scheme area, where appropriate.
