The Town Planning Board has announced amendments to the draft South West Kowloon Outline Zoning Plan.

The amendments involve the rezoning of the site bounded by Sham Mong Road, Hing Wah Street West and West Kowloon Highway from "Comprehensive Development Area" to "Residential(Group A)9", "Government, Institution or Community" and "Road" to reflect the existing and planned uses.

The notes of the plan will also be updated to clearly spell out the development restrictions for areas designated as "Residential(Group A)9" sub-zones and be in accordance with the refined Revised Master Schedule of Notes to Statutory Plans.
