Draft Mai Po and Fairview Park Outline Zoning Plan approved
***********************************************************
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Mai Po and Fairview Park area", a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (October 9).
The planning scheme area, covering about 1 148 hectares, is bounded by San Tin Highway, the San Tin Technopole and the Ngau Tam Mei area including the Ngau Tam Mei New Development Area to the east, Shenzhen River to the north, Mai Po Nature Reserve to the west and Nam Sang Wai area to the south.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Mai Po and Fairview Park OZP No. S/YL-MP/9, which mainly involve (i) rezoning a site at Kam Pok Road from "Residential (Group D)" to "Residential (Group C)1" for a private residential development with commercial use, transport lay-by, neighbourhood elderly centre and open space; and (ii) upzoning a site at Wo Shang Wai zoned "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Comprehensive Development to include Wetland Restoration Area" to facilitate a private residential development with a 100-place residential care home for the elderly and a wetland restoration area.
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 Mai Po and Fairview Park OZP No. S/YL-MP/10 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Fanling, Sheung Shui and Yuen Long East District Planning Office, (iv) the Yuen Long District Office, and (v) the San Tin Rural Committee.
