Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Areas

Having taken into account relevant factors including infrastructure capacity in the district and the
established planning and urban design framework of the Kwu Tung North and Fanling North NDAs,
the Board approved an application (No. A/KTN/54) submitted by CEDD on 16 November 2018 to relax
the plot ratio restrictions (from 3.5–5 to 3.9–6) and building height restrictions (from 75-135mPD to
85-145mPD) for eight public housing sites to allow for additional 4,300 public housing flats. Together
with other land utilisation measures, the resultant total number of flats for the NDAs has increased by
12,000 to 72,000 for a population of about 188,000. The overall public to private housing ratio has
changed from about 60:40 to 68:32.

In view of the planned infrastructure improvement in the area, the Board also agreed to a rezoning
application (No. Y/NE-KTS/12) of a site to the immediate south of the Kwu Tung North NDA on
20 September 2019 from mainly “Comprehensive Development Area” (“CDA”) to “CDA(1)” and
to increase the development intensity from a maximum plot ratio of 0.4 to 3 and a maximum
building height of 3 storeys to 75mPD (about 19 storeys) to facilitate a proposed private residential
development with about 1,573 flats.
