HE SAID THEY WERE AMONG 25 LOTS IN THE AREA AND WERE THE SECOND BATCH TO BE PUT ON THE MARKET.

ALL SIX LOTS ARE EARMARKED FOR TWO-STOREY TOWN HOUSE DEVELOPMENT. MR. SMITH POINTED OUT THAT THE BIGGEST LOT OF 1.3 HECTARES AT THE SOUTH-WESTERN EDGE WOULD BE OF PARTICULAR ATTRACTION.

ITS SIZE WOULD ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE COMPLEX

OF LUXURY HOUSES WITH LOTS OF OPEN SPACE, HE SAID.

TWO SMALLER ADJOINING SITES TO THE SOUTH-EAST MEASURE 4 149 AND 3 164 SQUARE METRES WHILE OF THE REMAINING THREE ARE 795, 758 AND 718 SQUARE METRES IN AREA,

THE TWO MEDIUM AND THREE SMALL LOTS ARE ADJACENT SITES AND CAN BE DEVELOPED EITHER SEPARATELY OR AS A WHOLE.

THE OTHER TWO SHA TIN SITES ARE IN LOK LO HA TO THE LEFT OF THE KOWLOON-CANTON RAILWAY AND WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE TO THE RACE COURSE, AND ARE DESIGNED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI-STOREY HOUSING BLOCKS.

BOTH SITES, WITH RESPECTIVE AREAS OF 1 862 AND 1 459 SQUARE METRES, CARRY A PLOT RATIO OF 2.1 WHICH RESTRICTS THE DEVELOPMENT TO NOT MORE THAN 18 STOREYS.

TENDERS FOR THE EIGHT LOTS WILL CLOSE ON SEPTEMBER 21,

THEY MUST BE PLACED IN THE APPLICATION BOX IN THE RECEPTION LOBBY OF THE NEW TERRITORIES ADMINISTRATION ON THE FIFTH FLOOR OF HONG KONG HOUSING AUTHORITY HEADQUARTERS BUILDING, 101 PRINCESS MARGARET ROAD, KOWLOON BEFORE NOON ON THAT DAY.

FULL PARTICULARS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE OF THE SITES MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ADMINISTRATION AND ANY OF ITS SEVEN DISTRICT OFFICES.
