CHAI WAN OUTLINE ZONING PLAN
The Town Planning Board has published a draft outline zoning
plan for the development of Chai Wan into a self-contained township
with all essential services and facilities for the estimated 160,000 residents who will live there by 1986.
The plan, which covers about 382 hectares (946 acres), supersedes the previous one exhibited in 1973.
The Secretary of the Board, Mr. Clive Caldwell, said today that
although there was no change in the land use pattern as indicated in the
original plan, a new set of notes had been incorporated to provide greater flexibility in development, The notes list the specified uses, and those
that may be permitted on application, of sites within the various zones shown in the approved plan.
Under a notice published in today's Gazette, anyone objseting to the notes must submit his objection in writing to the Secretary of the Town Planning Board, c/o the Public Works Department, within the next
two months.
The outline zoning plan provides some 38 hectares (95 acres) of land in the district for residential development. This includes the
existing public housing estates, the Ring Wah Estate now nearing completion by the Public Works Department, and the planned redevelopment of Chai Wan Cottage area for 8,000 people.
Other sites are also reserved off Hong Man Streat for a Housing
Society estate or a project of a similar nature, and to the east of San
Ha Street for flats for higher income groups.
