Part 2 Highlights of 2015-2017 Town Planning Board Report 2015 - 2017 21

Railway Property Development

As announced in the 2016 Policy Address, the Government has been actively
exploring the development potential of stations and related sites along existing and
new railway lines to make optimal use of such land.
Kam Sheung Road Station and Pat Heung Maintenance Depot

To take forward the planning for residential development at the two West Rail
sites at Kam Sheung Road Station and Pat Heung Maintenance Depot with a view
to increasing the supply of housing land, proposed amendments to the approved
Kam Tin South OZP No. S/YL-KTS/11 were agreed by the Board on 8 May 2015.
The two West Rail sites were rezoned to “Other Specified Uses” (“OU”) annotated
“Railway Station and Public Transport Interchange with Commercial/Residential
Development” and “OU” annotated “Railway Depot with Commercial/Residential
Development” zones respectively. It was estimated that the two sites would provide
about 8,752 flats with a population of about 21,400. The proposed amendments of
the two West Rail sites were exhibited for public inspection on 29 May 2015. After
giving consideration to the 55 representations and 330 comments, the Board on 11
March 2016 decided not to uphold the representations. The draft OZP was approved
by the CE in C on 30 August 2016 and renumbered as S/YL-KTS/13.
