The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Tseung Kwan O Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment in the Tseung Kwan O area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (September 27).
The planning scheme area, covering about 1 718 hectares, is located at the southern part of Sai Kung District. It is bounded by Clear Water Bay Peninsula to the east, Junk Bay to the south, Lam Tin and Sau Mau Ping areas to the west, and Tseng Lan Shue and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to the north.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Tseung Kwan O OZP No. S/TKO/29, which mainly involve (i) rezoning a site at Ying Yip Road from "Comprehensive Development Area" to "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Film Studio and Related Uses" for proposed film studio redevelopment; and (ii) rezoning a site at Hang Hau Road from "Residential (Group C)1" to "Residential (Group C)2" for proposed house redevelopment.
The Notes and Explanatory Statement of the OZP have been amended taking into account the above amendments. Opportunity is also taken to update the general information of various land use zones and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Tseung Kwan O OZP No. S/TKO/30 is available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Town Planning Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Sai Kung and Islands District Planning Office, (iv) the Sai Kung District Office, and (v) the Hang Hau Rural Committee.
Copies of the approved OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centres in North Point and Yau Ma Tei. The electronic version of the OZP can be viewed at the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
