The Town Planning Board will review the conversion of two sites in Tsuen Wan to residential use today

The Town Planning Board will review the proposed amendments to the Tsuen Wan Outline Zoning Plan today (23rd), mainly due to the approval of two rezoning applications last year that converted two plots of land for residential use, which is expected to yield approximately 1,221 residential units.

One of the projects involves FE CONSORT INTL (00035.HK) on a plot of land approximately 0.64 hectares west of the Tsuen Wan Yau Kam Tau Water Treatment Works. According to the indicative proposal previously submitted by FE CONSORT INTL, it is planned to construct three residential buildings of 26 to 27 stories (with one basement level), providing 613 units, along with a care home offering approximately 100 beds. This application was approved by the Town Planning Board in September last year.

In addition, the Town Planning Board approved in January last year a consortium's application to rezone a "rural area" site near Muk Yan Ha Village on Fuhong Shan Road in Tsuen Wan to a residential zone. The Planning Department proposed to change this approximately 1.16-hectare land to "Residential (Group B) 9" zone, with a total floor area limit of 373,700 square feet, of which the floor area for social welfare facilities shall not be less than 58,100 square feet
