The third example is a site in Nam Wa Po, Kau Lung Hang, Tai Po.

It is currently zoned as “GB”, “Agriculture” (“AGR”) and “Open Storage”
(“OS”). In terms of land ownership, the Government owns parts of the
site and the rest are private. Currently there are still business operations
and temporary structures on the site.

A major constraint of the site is the lack of community facilities to support
future population intake. It is remote from the town centre with no public
transport connection. On these accounts, it is not considered to be
suitable for public housing development.
The complexity of vested interests may also need to be considered in the
rezoning process and in the potential land resumption process afterwards.
Developing the sites may involve the issues of land resumption, relocation
and compensation for existing business operators and private landlords.
