The Town Planning Board today (April 16) announced the publication of the draft Urban Renewal Authority (URA) Shantung Street/Thistle Street Development Scheme Plan (DSP) No. S/K3/URA4/1.
​
The scheme area covers about 0.28 hectares and is designated as "Residential (Group A)" and an area shown as 'Road'. The scheme is for high-density residential developments with commercial and government, institution or community facilities.
In accordance with section 25(9) of the URA Ordinance, the draft DSP replaces the draft Mong Kok Outline Zoning Plan No. S/K3/33 in relation to the area delineated and described in the draft DSP.
The draft Shantung Street/Thistle Street DSP No. S/K3/URA4/1 is now available for public inspection during office hours at (i) the Secretariat of the Board, (ii) the Planning Enquiry Counters, (iii) the Tsuen Wan and West Kowloon District Planning Office, and (iv) the Yau Tsim Mong District Office.
Any person may make written representations in respect of the DSP to the Secretary of the Board on or before June 16. Any person who intends to make a representation is advised to read the revised Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 29B on "Submission and Publication of Representations, Comments on Representations and Further Representations under the Town Planning Ordinance" (TPB PG-No. 29B).
Submission of a representation should comply with the requirements set out in TPB PG-No. 29B. In particular, the representer should take note of the following:
* If the representer fails to provide his or her full name and the first four alphanumeric characters of his or her Hong Kong identity card or passport number as required under TPB PG-No. 29B, the representation submitted shall be treated as not having been made; and
* The Secretariat of the Board reserves the right to require the representer to provide identity proof for verification.
The Guidelines and the submission form are available at locations (i) and (ii) above and the Board's website (www.info.gov.hk/tpb).
