- 10 - was not incompatible with the retail shops and residential developments nearby. The scale and development intensity of the existing one-storey building was also compatible with the surrounding low-rise land uses. The application also generally complied with assessment criteria as specified under Town Planning Board Guidelines No. 34B on renewal of planning approval. There was no material change in the planning circumstances and surrounding land uses since the temporary approval granted for application No. A/TWW/79 on 27.5.2005. Should the Board approve the current application for another 6 years as applied, it would result in an accumulated approval period of 12 years, which might not befit the temporary nature of the proposed uses. As the applicant had an intention for a comprehensive redevelopment with the adjoining lots and to allow time for the applicant to formulate the redevelopment proposal while continuing Shop and Services use at the Site, a temporary approval of 3 years was recommended for the subject application. As regards the public comment on the provision of “G/IC” site, three other “G/IC” sites within the Tsuen Wan West Area which were not designated for G/IC uses could be reserved to meet the future community needs if required. 10. In response to a Member’s enquiry, Mr. K. T. Ng replied that the subject “G/IC” site was owned by the applicant and no government land was involved. Deliberation Session 11.

The Committee also agreed to advise the applicant that a shorter temporary approval period of 3 years was granted so as to allow time for the applicant to formulate the redevelopment proposal while continuing Shop and Services use at the Site.
