反對白沙澳分區計劃大綱草圖!

本會認為:
  • 白沙澳具高生態及保育價值。本會由1999年到2014年間於白沙澳記錄到175種雀鳥,佔全港總數的三分之一;當中有56種雀鳥是具保育關注,包括屬區域關注(Fellowes et al., 2002)的褐魚鴞Ketupa zeylonensis。可是,草圖未能為該區提供充分的保護。
  • 現時,草圖將一幅前身為淡水濕地、近年有復耕活動的農地劃作「鄉村式發展」用地,面積約0.7公頃。而該「鄉村式發展」用地亦於集水區內,與白沙澳的「具重要生態價值河溪」距離只有20米。村內任何發展有機會污染此生態敏感的地區,並增加水浸風險。
  • 由於不少「鄉村式發展」用地內外的土地已經由發展商所擁有,所謂的小型屋宇需求成疑。其次,在現行的行政機制下,北潭凹的村內已經預留空間讓白沙澳村民作「飛丁」申請。因此,白沙澳區內沒有充分理據需要另一個「鄉村式發展」用地,並應從草圖中剔除。

*請於截止日期前向城規會提交意見〔電郵:tpbpd@pland.gov.hk〕!

Object to Pak Sha O Outline Zoning Plan!

Change in Pak Sha O land ownership (provided by The Conservancy Association, available in Chinese only): http://on.fb.me/23iF4Vx

The Society considers that:  
  • Pak Sha O is a place of high ecological value and conservation importance. From 1999 to 2014, the Society has recorded 175 bird species in Pak Sha O, which accounts for about one-third of the total bird species recorded in Hong Kong; among them, 56 species are of conservation concern, including Brown Fish Owl Ketupa zeylonensis of Regional Concern (Fellowes et al., 2002). However, the current plan failed to offer adequate protection to the area.
  • A “Village Type Development” (V) zone of 0.7 hectare was proposed in the middle of a recently farmed agricultural land, which was once a freshwater marsh. The V zone is right inside the water gathering ground and is only 20 metres from the Ecologically Important Stream (EIS) in Pak Sha O. Development in the V zone may lead to water pollution and increase the flooding risk in this ecologically sensitive area of Pak Sha O.
  • Many of the land within the V zone and its surroundings are currently owned by a developer.  The genuineness of the small house demand is questionable. Moreover, a surplus V zone in Pak Tam Au has been reserved for cross-village applications from Pak Sha O under the current land administrative practice. Therefore, the need for a V zone is not well-justified, and thus it should be deleted from the plan.

*Please send your submission to the TPB before the deadline (email: tpbpd@pland.gov.hk)!
