Development Programme. It prepares plans for the existing and future urban areas, including new towns, and planning guides for rural areas. It is also very much involved in the preparation of urban improvement schemes in the older urban areas. The work of the branch is undertaken by three divisions, namely, Colony Planning, Urban District Planning and New Territories District Planning.
Colony Planning Division
7.52 This division is divided into two sections, Colony Planning and Design and Layout. The functions of the Colony Planning Section include the revision of the Colony Outline Plan, the up-dating of the data bank on which it is based and the preparation and updating of the 10-Year Development Programme. The division carries out land use, constructional, occupancy and other special surveys for planning purposes. The information obtained is analysed within the framework of tertiary, secondary and primary planning units and planning periods in order to correlate land use and demographic data. The division prepares background studies which set out the existing conditions and future requirements in planning areas and thus ensures the integration of district and Colony Planning. It also carries out special studies and supplies information and reports to the Housing Board, Town Planning Board, Hong Kong Advisory Committee on Recreational Development and Nature Conservation and other advisory committees and Government Departments. It also prepares planning guides for rural areas in the New Territories in consultation with the New Territories District Planning Division and the New Territories Administration.
7.53 The Design and Layout Section services the District Planning Divisions and prepares layouts for new development areas throughout the Colony. It also advises on major private development proposals.
Urban District Planning Division
7.54 The Urban District Planning Division deals with district planning in the urban areas, i.e. Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Kowloon. It prepares draft outline zoning plans for the Town Planning Board and departmental, outline development and layout plans for the Land Development Planning Committee. The division is responsible for development control and the reservation of sites for Government Departments and utility companies and other purposes.
