The Town Planning Board today (July 10) announced amendments to the approved Tai Tong Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
The amendments are to take forward Stages 1 and 2 of the Yuen Long South (YLS) Development under the Revised Recommended Outline Development Plan of the "Planning and Engineering Study for Housing Sites in YLS – Investigation" (the YLS Study). The amendments mainly involve rezoning a site to the east of Kiu Hing Road from "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Rural Use" ("OU(RU)") and "Agriculture" to "Government, Institution or Community(1)" to support the YLS Development, rezoning of a site to the east of Kiu Hing Road from "OU(RU)" to "Residential (Group D)" for retaining an existing residential cluster as proposed by the YLS Study, and rezoning of a site to the east of Pak Sha Shan Road from "OU(RU)" to "Village Type Development(1)" for reprovisioning of village houses affected by government projects.
The draft Tai Tong OZP No. S/YL-TT/17, incorporating the amendments, is now available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters of the Planning Department in North Point and Sha Tin, (iii) the Tuen Mun and Yuen Long West District Planning Office, (iv) the Yuen Long District Office, (v) the Shap Pat Heung Rural Committee, and (vi) the Ping Shan Rural Committee.
