The original plans submitted to TPB in February 2022
Buzz readers may remember a story we did February 2022 where plans had been proposed for for the construction of an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, playgrounds for children and pets, and a hobby farm for three Green Belt sites in Nam Pin Wai, Sai Kung near the planned residential development behind the Pat Chun Food and Soy Factory. Today (7/6) the Town Planning Board is expected to agree a new plan for the area which will allow the construction of 17 houses.

Information shows that the above-mentioned land is located next to the New Hiram’s Highway, covering an area of approximately 71,054 square feet, of which approximately 5,608 square feet is government land. It is planned to build 17 3-storey houses and a 1-storey open parking space with a plot ratio of 0.75 times. There is also a one-storey clubhouse.

The applicant propose to divide the project into two phases. The land held by it will be used as the first phase, which will provide 13 houses, and the remaining phases will be composed of other private lots. The Planning Department believes that the intention of the Ho Chung master plan is to consolidate the existing rural development and launch low-density residential development in an orderly manner. The proposed application does not conflict with the surrounding projects and landscape.

The archaeological baseline study provided by the applicant recommended that areas with archaeological potential be investigated before construction. The Antiquities Office has no comment on this and has no objection in principle. There are no negative comments from relevant government departments in the project-related traffic, drainage and sewage impact assessment reports.
