Board amends Mid-Levels West Outline Zoning Plan

The Town Planning Board today (Thursday) announced amendments to the draft Mid-Levels West Outline Zoning Plan (No. S/H11/6).

The amendments include the rezoning of four sites of about 0.6 hectare in total around Prince's Terrace and Castle Steps area from "Residential (Group A)" to "Residential (Group C)7" in order to restrict development or redevelopment to a maximum plot ratio of five and a maximum building height of 12 storeys.

The restriction is considered necessary from the view points of traffic, fire safety and convenience because the area has no direct vehicular access.

Technical amendments to the notes of the plan have also been made to take into account the changing circumstances.

22 at:

The amendment plan (No. S/H11/7) is available for public inspection until June

Planning Department,
