The Town Planning Board today (July 5) announced amendments to the approved Ma Tau Kok Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
Opportunity is taken to amend the Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP to reflect the latest amendments to the Definition of Terms used in Statutory Plans, Broad Use Terms and Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans and to update the general information of various land use zonings and the planning area, where appropriate.
The draft Urban Renewal Authority Kai Tak Road/Sa Po Road Development Scheme Plan (DSP) No. S/K10/URA1/1 has replaced that part of the approved Ma Tau Kok OZP No. S/K10/24 delineated and described in the DSP from the date the exhibition of the DSP is first notified in the Gazette on July 5.
The draft Ma Tau Kok OZP No. S/K10/25, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Kowloon District Planning Office, and (iv) the Kowloon City District Office.
Any person may make written representations in respect of the amendments to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board on or before September 5. Any person who intends to make a representation is advised to read the revised Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 29B on "Submission and Publication of Representations, Comments on Representations and Further Representations under the Town Planning Ordinance" (TPB PG-No. 29B) promulgated in November 2018 and taking effect in 2019.
Submission of a representation should comply with the requirements set out in TPB PG-No. 29B. In particular, the representer should take note of the following:
* If the representer fails to provide his/her full name and the first four alphanumeric characters of his/her HKID card/passport number as required under TPB PG-No. 29B, the representation submitted shall be treated as not having been made; and
* The Secretariat of the Board reserves the right to require the representer to provide identity proof for verification.
The Guidelines and the submission form are available at locations (i) and (ii) above and the Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
