Draft Sha Tin Outline Zoning Plan amended

The Town Planning Board today (Friday) announced amendments to the draft Sha Tin Outline Zoning Plan.

A number of undeveloped sites within the Yuen Chau Kok Industrial Area bounded by Ngan Shing Street, Sha Tin Wai Road, Siu Lek Yuen Road and Chap Wai Kon Street have been rezoned from "Industrial" ("I") to other land uses which are urgently in demand, in particular, residential development.

Opportunity is also taken to rezone several plots of land in the Yuen Chau Kok Industrial Area to "Commercial" ("C"), "Government/Institution/Community" ("GAC"), "Open Space" ("O") and "Other Specified Uses" annotated "Petrol Filling Station" ("OU(PFS)") to reflect their existing and planned uses.

A 5.98-hectare site at the junction of Sha Tin Wai Road and Ngau Pei Sha Street has been rezoned to "Residential (Group A)" for a Home Ownership Scheme development which will accommodate about 16,000 people in 4,890 flats.

A site at the junction of Chap Wai Kon Street and Ngau Pei Sha Street, with an area of about 0.95 hectare, has been rezoned for private residential development.

Five sites have been rezoned from "I" to "GAC". Among them, a 2.13-hectare site located to the east of Ngan Shing Street has been reserved for the development of a primary school, a secondary school and an indoor recreation centre. The remaining four smaller sites are rezoned to reflect either their existing or future uses.
