Notes:
General
- The Table only
gives an indication of the maximum plot ratio
which may be allowed for a particular area.
However, where there are significant constraints
on development capacity (such as transport or
infrastructure limitations, or environmental,
topographical or geotechnical conditions), or
special design considerations, a lower plot ratio
may be specified when considered appropriate and
possible.
-
In some areas, maximum
plot ratios may not be achievable due to Airport
Height Restrictions.
- Maximum
domestic plot ratio of 8, 9 and 10 depends on
Site Class A, B and C respectively.
- If there is
non-domestic floorspace, maximum domestic plot
ratio will be reduced according to the provisions
of the B(P)R composite building formula.
- The maximum
domestic plot ratio is in accordance with those
stipulated on OZPs and site class is not relevant.
- If there is
non-domestic floorspace with a plot ratio in
excess of 1.5, maximum domestic plot ratio will
be reduced by the amount of this excess.
- For this first
generation New Town (i.e. Tuen Mun, Sha Tin,
Fanling / Sheung Shui, Tai Po, Yuen Long and
Tsuen Wan), lease modifications for higher plot
ratios than those applicable prior to September
1981 should be permitted only if the proposed
development forms the whole or a substantial part
of a comprehensive redevelopment plan prepared or
approved by the planning authority.
- Higher
maximum domestic plot ratios may be permitted in
Comprehensive Development Areas having regard to
local circumstances, such as infrastructure
capacities. However, for New Development Area and
CDA for Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung & Tsing Yi, the maximum plot ratio is normally 5.
- Any non-domestic
plot ratio component may be in addition to the
domestic plot ratio, up to the maximum permitted
by the B(P)R composite building formula or those
of the OZPs.
- In existing
development areas this maximum domestic plot
ratio can only be imposed in the case of lease
modifications or Section 16 applications, unless
it is incorporated in the OZPs.
- In Special Control
Areas, maximum domestic plot ratio may be further limited.
