Draft Ho Chung Outline Zoning Plan approved
The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Ho Chung Outline Zoning Plan (OZP).
"The approved OZP provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the Ho Chung area," a spokesman for the Town Planning Board said today (September 26).
The planning scheme area, covering about 296 hectares, is bounded by Hiram's Highway to the east, the Ma On Shan Country Park in the north and west and the foothills of Lower Hebe Hill in the south.
The approved OZP has incorporated amendments shown on the draft Ho Chung OZP No. S/SK-HC/12, which mainly involve (i) rezoning a site in Wang Che from "Conservation Area" to "Village Type Development"; (ii) rezoning a site comprising two land parcels at Ho Chung North Road from "Residential (Group D)", "Residential (Group E)" ("R(E)") and area shown as 'Road' to "Residential (Group C) 3" ("R(C)3"); (iii) rezoning a site at Wo Mei Hung Min Road from "Green Belt" ("GB") to "R(C)4"; (iv) rezoning a site at Ho Chung Road from "R(E)" and "GB" to "Government, Institution or Community"; and (v) various zoning amendments to reflect the latest planned and as-built developments/road alignments.
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 zones and the planning circumstances, where appropriate.
The approved Ho Chung OZP No. S/SK-HC/13 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 Sai Kung Rural Committee.
Copies of the approved OZP are available for sale at the Map Publications Centre in North Point. The electronic version of the OZP can be viewed at the Town Planning Board's website (www.tpb.gov.hk).
