Town Planning Board amends Tai Po OZP
The Town Planning Board announced today (Friday) several amendments to the draft Tai Po Outline Zoning Plan.
The existing Regional Council temporary market site at Po Heung Street in Planning Area 1 has been rezoned from "Government/Institution/Community" to "Commercial/Residential" for commercial/residential development upon the relocation of the market to a permanent site at Heung Sze Wui Street. The site has an area of about 0.32 hectare.
To meet the longer-term demand for small houses at Ha Hang Village, an area of about 3.5 hectares to the east of the village and north of Tai Po Industrial Estate in Planning Area 31 has been rezoned from "Green Belt" to "Village Type Development".
An area of about 0.09 hectare to the north of Tai Po Kau Lo Wai in Planning Area 12 has been rezoned from "Residential (Group C)" to "Residential (Group C)2" to increase the development intensity to a plot ratio of 1.5.
Two developed residential sites to the south of Tolo Highway in Planning Area 10, with a total area of about 0.7 hectare, have been rezoned from "Residential (Group C)" to "Residential (Group C)3" to reflect their development intensity.
Meanwhile, the Notes of the plan have been amended to include the schedules of uses for the new "Residential (Group C)2" and "Residential (Group C)3" zones.
The amendment plan (No. S/TP/8) is available for public inspection until March 14 during office hours at:
