            Proposed Temporary Warehouse for Storage of Construction Machineries and Construction Materials for a 
            Period of 3 Years in “Green Belt” Zone and Proposed Filling of Land in Association with the Proposed 
            Warehouse, at Lots Nos. 1265RP and 1267 in D.D. 79 and Adjoining Government Land, North of Ng Chow 
            Road, Ping Che, Fanling, New Territories 
             
                               Executive Summary 
                                         
            The present application aims to seek a planning permission from the Town Planning Board 
            for: (i) a proposed temporary warehouse development to store the Applicant’s construction 
            machineries and construction materials at a site in “Green Belt” zone on the Approved Wo 
            Keng Shan Outline Zoning Plan No. S/NE-WKS/10 for a period of three years; and (ii) a 
            proposed filling of land in association with the proposed warehouse development.  The 
            site  under  application  comprises two Lots  (namely, 1265RP and 1267 in D.D. 79) and 
            adjoining Government land (hereinafter collectively called the Subject Site”), north of Ng 
            Chow Road, Ping Che, Fanling, New Territories. 
             
            The proposed development will serve as a temporary site to store the Applicant’s additional 
            construction machineries and construction materials when they are temporary not in use in 
            those active construction sites at different construction stages so as to allow the Applicant 
            sufficient time to continue to assemble land within the designated “Open Storage” zones in 
            the northern and south-western New Territories regions to tackle its pressing storage needs 
            triggered by a big wave of construction activities in these two regions.    It is a clean, tidy 
            and quiet short-term operation. 
                
            The  proposed  temporary  scheme  comprises  a  total  of  8  blocks  of  1-storey  warehouse 
            structures:  one  for  storage  of  big/heavy  construction  materials,  three  for  construction 
            machineries,  three  container-converted  compartments  for  general  storage  and  one 
            container-converted guardhouse.    One standard portable toilet is also proposed. 
                
            The  proposed  development  is  urgently  needed  for  transitional  operation.  It  has  been 
            demonstrated that with provision of peripheral screening plantings and appropriate colour 
            scheme for the proposed on-site warehouse temporary structures, the proposed 1-storey tall 
            development is fully compatible with its surrounding built environment setting; and no 
            adverse traffic or drainage impact due to the proposed development on the local area is 
            anticipated.    The approval of this application will not jeopardise the original long-term 
            land-use planning intention of the Subject Site.    It represents a positive, responsive and 
            smart use of limited land resources to resolve the short-term transitional operation need to 
            meet the needs of the substantial community development. 
                                                                   iv
