20 Town Planning Board Report 2015 - 2017 Part 2 Highlights of 2015-2017

In response to the views and strong demand for public housing, four residential
sites with a total site area of about 4.8 ha providing about 6,000 flats were reserved
for public housing. Refinements were also made for improving the urban design
and building height profile of the sites in Area 4 (i.e. the former runway). The views
of Members on the refined scheme were mainly on the detailed design. To address
the concern on design, the Explanatory Statement of the OZP had been updated
to reflect the design requirement in respect of the proposed Vocational Training
Council Campus development at the Cha Kwo Ling Harbourfront. Subsequently,
the proposed OZP amendments were considered and agreed by the Board on 20
January 2017.

The draft Kai Tak OZP No. S/K22/5 was exhibited under section 5 of the Town
Planning Ordinance on 17 February 2017. A total of 12,154 valid representations
and 1,428 comments on representations were received. The representations
and comments were considered by the Board in eight hearing sessions between
December 2017 and January 2018.
