Wo Keng Shan DPA plan published
The Town Planning Board announced today (Friday) the publication of the draft Wo Keng Shan Development Permission Area (DPA) Plan.
Located about 3.4 kilometres to the cast of Fanling/Sheung Shui New Town, the Wo Keng Shan area covers about 574 hectares of land bounded by the Frontier Closed Area Boundary to the north. Hung Fa Chai to the east, Man Uk Pin and Tai Tong Wu to the south and Ping Che to the west.
Wo Keng Shan area comprises vegetated hill slopes, undulating terrains and relatively flat valley floors with both active and abandoned/fallow agricultural land as well as village settlements. The North East New Territories Landfill is located within the area.
"The DPA plan serves to provide a planning framework for development control, a basis for the consideration of development proposals and the carrying out of enforcement action against unauthorised developments," a spokesman for the Board said.
On the plan, about 394 hectares of land, or 69 per cent of the total area, have been zoned 'Green Belt' to conserve the natural environment and to safeguard it from encroachment by urban type developments.
About 50 hectares of land have been zoned 'Agriculture', about two hectares for 'Government/Institution/Community'. about two hectares for 'Village Type Development' and about 124 hectares for 'Other Specified Uses (Landfill)'.
The draft plan (No. DPA/NE-WKS/I) is available for public inspection until April 28 during office hours at :
