Supply of plans and planning information
147. 10,000 plans and 110 tracings were supplied during the year, this represented an increase of over 50% compared with the previous year. As well as maintaining close liaison with the New Territories Administration and with other interested departments and sub-departments, the Planning Division gave advice in respect of 319 applications for the purchase of land, 97 of these being in respect of land in the New Territories. The coverage of land use and constructional surveys was extended and existing surveys brought up to date as required.
Selection of sites for Government and Community projects
148. The Planning Division continued to be much concerned with the selection of sites for Government and Community projects, particularly resettlement and other low-cost housing estates, for schools, clinics, community centres, post offices, telephone exchanges, fire stations, playgrounds and open spaces, etc. Investigations were carried out and reports prepared on the location of future multi-storey and ground level car parks, the siting of additional petrol service stations, and the loading and unloading of vehicles in industrial areas. Sites for some 50 car parks and an additional 30 petrol service stations were provisionally reserved in the Urban Area, roughly equally divided between the Island and Mainland.
