Lam Cheng intends to recover hundreds of hectares of fish pond conservation scholars: it is good for the government to make overall planning

The "Policy Address" proposes a development strategy for the northern metropolitan area. Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor recently stated that he intends to use the "Land Resumption Ordinance" to recover hundreds of hectares of fish pond wetlands.

Pan Yongxiang, a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Construction Technology at CityU and a member of the Town Planning Board, said on a TV and Taiwan program this morning (19th) that many fish ponds are abandoned and not developed is not equivalent to conservation. If the fish ponds are not handled properly, weeds will grow and reappear. Mosquitoes are infested, so it has its advantages to be taken back by the government for overall planning and conservation.

Pan Yongxiang: Many fish ponds are abandoned and now mosquitoes affect the ecology and residents

Poon Wing-hsiang said that in the past, fish ponds were less developed, but the lack of development is not the same as conservation, because it depends on how the owners handle them. Residents think that it is a good thing for the government to withdraw for overall planning and conservation.

Only for the development of lack of conservation materials, it is difficult to be approved by the Town Planning Board

Some people believe that the government’s approach is to "conserve in name, and develop into reality." Pan Yongxiang believes that if you want to change the original planned use, you need to have a public hearing and provide justifications, and then the Town Planning Board will decide if it is only for development. Lack of conservation, I believe it will be difficult to pass.

Changchun News Agency promotes multi-angles and multi-plans to consider conservation can’t only have one or two plans

Wu Xiwen, the public affairs manager of Changchun News Agency who attended the same program, agreed that the government should take the initiative to take the responsibility of conservation and agreed that conservation should be carried out in the form of land resumption. However, he believes that the government should explain more details and consider conservation from multiple perspectives and plans. There are only one or two plans.
