Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 43 for Application for Transfer of Plot Ratio (July 2023)
The Town Planning Board (the Board) on 7 July 2023 promulgated the Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 43 for Application for Transfer of Plot Ratio under Section 16 of the Town Planning Ordinance. The Guidelines take immediate effect. The purpose of the Guidelines is to set out the requirements and considerations adopted by the Board for planning applications involving the “Transfer of Plot Ratio” (TPR). The TPR mechanism allows transfer of permissible gross floor area (GFA) from sending site(s) (“SS”) to receiving site(s) (“RS”) within the same Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) up to 30% of the maximum GFA permitted for the RS under the OZP through planning application for minor relaxation of the plot ratio/GFA restriction, with allowance for interchangeability of domestic and non-domestic GFA upon transfer. The Guidelines are currently applicable to such applications within the Yau Ma Tei OZP and Mong Kok OZP only.
The Guidelines can be obtained from:
