Board amends Kwai Chung OZP

The Town Planning Board announced today (Friday) amendments to the approved Kwai Chung Outline Zoning Plant.

Five amendments, which were all related to the provision of additional housing flats were made to the plan, a spokesman for the Board said.

"Four of them will facilitate the early rehousing of those residents being affected by the Hong Kong Housing Society's Comprehensive Redevelopment Programme in the Kwai Chung district. The remaining one will facilitate the disposal of surplus government quarters for private residential use," he said.

A 1.41-hectare site in Shek Lei Estate and an existing 0.23 hectare open space (Fuk Tak Garden) to the south of Tai Wo Hau Road have been rezoned from 'Open Space' ('O') to 'Residential (Group A)' ('R (A)') for public housing development.

To make up for the loss of open space, a 2.15-hectare site at the junction of Castle Peak Road (Kwai Chung) and Kwai Chung Circumferential Road, which is partly an existing open space and partly occupied by public housing blocks to be demolished, has been rezoned from 'R (A)' to 'O'.

Another site of about 0.51 hectare in Kwai Chung Estate has also been rezoned from 'R (A)' to 'O'.

A 0.45-hectare site at Lai King Hill Road opposite to the Princess Margaret Hospital has been rezoned from 'Government/Institution/Community' to 'Residential (Group B) to facilitate the disposal of the site together with the surplus Government quarters for private residential use.

The amendment plan (No. S/KC/12) is available for public inspection until June 11 during office hours at :
