NEW "SMALL HOUSE" POLICY FOR NEW TERRITORIES
The Government will implement, as from Friday (December 1) a major
review of the policy and practices on the control of small houses – or
village houses in the New Territories.
-
The review aims at giving people in the rural areas an opportunity
to live in decent, safe, bigger and more permanent houses with improved
health standards.
The new "small house" policy and practices are interim measures
which will complement the major job of producing a comprehensive plan for
the development of the rural New Territories.
The main features of the new policy are:-
In the rural New Territories outside the village areas,
building licences will be used rather than temporary
modifications of tenancy for the construction of small
houses on private agricultural land;
In the rural New Territories outside the village areas,
leases of Crown land will be granted by private treaty
for small houses in cases where there has been a structure
on Crown Land Permit for at least 10 years;
