6. Attachments

6.1 Location Plan 6.2 Development Concept Plan

Notes: 1. NET SITE AREA (NSA): In accordance with the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines (HKPSG), the

NSA should exclude:(a) district and public open space, public recreation facilities, free-standing schools and community facilities

(including those on the podium), open-air public transport terminal / interchange;(b) internal roads; and(c) natural vegetated slopes and man-made slopes (for the latter, except slopes regraded to form developable

area). 2. NUMBER OF FLATS AND DESIGN POPULATION: To allow flexibility in the design, ±10% adjustment will be

allowed for the number of flats and design population together with corresponding adjustments to ancillary facilities in line with HKPSG or the requirements of client departments. If a project remains within the 10% allowance, no revision to PB and no re-submission to DipCon is necessary subject to no adverse comments from client departments on the corresponding adjustments to ancillary facilities.

3. GROSS FLOOR AREA (GFA): Covered public transport terminal/interchange should be accountable for GFA

4

calculation. 4. PLOT RATIO (PR): PR should be calculated on the basis of net site area. 5. MAXIMUM GFA, PR AND NUMBER OF STOREYS OR BUILDING HEIGHT: OZP restrictions have to be

specified under the Remarks column. The maximum GFA, PR and No. of storeys or building height for the current proposal should be based on the optimal development intensities of the site with reference to relevant planning studies or proposal by PlanD, or HD, with justifications instead of blanket adoption of the maximum development restrictions stipulated in the OZP.

6. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF STOREYS OR BUILDING HEIGHT in mPD: Should there be variations in height limits

across the site, the different maximum heights in mPD at main roof level or number of storeys permitted should be indicated on a plan.

7. PLANNING REQUIREMENTS: The District Planning Officer will check compliance with the HKPSG where

appropriate. 8. SOCIAL WELFARE AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES: District and territorial welfare/community facilities are

determined by client departments (SWD, HAD, etc) and any site area involved in free standing facilities should be excluded from site area for PR calculation.

9. RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL FACILITIES: HD will determine the amount of retail floor space required in the

development. 10. PEDESTRIAN WIND ENVIRONMENT: HPLB / ETWB Joint Technical Circular No.1/06 on Air Ventilation

Assessments to be referred, if appropriate. 11. DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS: Following circulation, a summary of comments with responses should be

included in the appendix for submission of the draft planning brief for endorsement by DipCon. Prepared by Planning Section, Housing Department
