The Town Planning Board announced at the end of last year to revise the "Approved Outline Zoning Plan for Cha Kwo Ling, Yau Tong and Lei Yue Mun", mainly to rezone two sites along Cha Kwo Ling Road into residential land for the construction of public housing, community facilities and transportation Infrastructure, involving 9 public housing blocks with a total of about 6,750 units.
The Town Planning Board will consider the representations and comments on the draft No. of the Cha Kwo Ling, Yau Tong and Lei Yue Mun Outline Zoning Plans on Friday (5th).
According to the data, the amendment received a total of 184 representations, of which 27 were opposed.
Opponents: The waterfront public housing is expected to form a screen effect
Among them, the Huijing Garden owners' committee, which expressed objections, pointed out that the building heights of the two proposed public housing developments would block the views of some residents of Huijing Garden, which would have a negative impact on residents' lives and property values.
He also pointed out that the height of the buildings set will cause many high-rise buildings along the waterfront, which will cause a "screen effect" to the surrounding residential development, especially in summer.
Planning Department: not incompatible with the surrounding environment
However, the Planning Department responded by pointing out that the two proposed development proposals for public housing development are to make good use of precious land resources to provide more public housing units in the urban area, and to ensure that the relevant projects are compatible with the waterfront development in Kowloon East (mainly the highest building height). A balance has been achieved in terms of coordination between the overall development density and building height (120 meters above horizontal benchmark).
The Planning Department also pointed out that although the landscape characteristics of this part of the waterfront area will be changed, the proposed development can be regarded as an extension of the residential urban landscape and is not incompatible with the surrounding environment.
The data shows that the major revisions to the "Approved Outline Zoning Plan for Cha Kwo Ling, Yau Tong and Lei Yue Mun" involve two public housing development projects involving 9 public housing blocks, providing 4,500 units and 2,250 units respectively, with an estimated population of about 12,600 and 6,400.
