The Chief Executive in Council has approved the draft Tseng Lan Shue Outline Zoning Plan, which features 176.7 hectares of the woodland and well-vegetated hillslopes zoned Conservation Area with 144.2 hectares of the lower hillslopes, vegetated land and roadside amenity areas zoned Green Belt.

Conservation of the natural landscape features and the rural character of Tseng Lan Shue is the primary planning intention. The Town Planning Board said the plan provides a statutory land use planning framework to guide the development and redevelopment within the area.

Covering 426 hectares, the planning area is bounded by Hiram's Highway in the east, Ma On Shan Country Park in the north, Fei Ngo Shan in the west, and Tai Sheung Tok and Tseung Kwan O in the south.

Except for the village expansion areas designated to meet the outstanding small house demand, residential developments are confined to the areas along Fei Ngo Shan Road and Razor Hill Road and in Ta Ku Ling San Tsuen, maintaining their existing and committed intensity.

About 38.4 hectares is zoned Village Type Development, 24.2 hectares Residential (Group C) and 7.4 hectares Residential (Group D).

Industrial activities

Incompatible industrial activities in Lung Wo Tsuen, Tan Shan and Ma Yau Tong will be phased out, while the obsolete and sub-standard housing stock will be upgraded with basic infrastructure.

The shopping centre on Razor Hill Road, of about 0.1 hectare, is zoned Commercial and 13.1 hectares is zoned Government, Institution or Community. Three petrol station sites along Clear Water Bay Road are zoned Other Specified Uses.

The approved Tseng Lan Shue OZP No.S/SK-TLS/8 plan is available for public inspection at the board's secretariat, planning enquiry counters in North Point and Sha Tin, the Sai Kung & Islands District Planning Office, the Sai Kung District Office, the Sai Kung Rural Committee and the Hang Hau Rural Committee.
