Draft Recommended Outline Development Plan (RODP)
Green Space Network
In
terms of urban design, open space provided in different residential
communities in the PDA is complemented by the preserved active
agricultural land, secondary woodland and natural streams together
with revitalised nullahs and other sustainable drainage initiatives
to form a comprehensive green space network serving the PDA,
surrounding villages and linking with the greenery in Yuen Long New
Town.
Sustainable Drainage Initiatives and Cycle Track
We
have proposed to create a new watercourse along the hillside of Ma
Shan with flood retention facilities and to provide scenic cycle
track. Visitors could appreciate the watercourse and this would also
promote cycling tour. The Yuen Long Nullah, Tin Tsuen Channel and
Yuen Long (West) Nullah would be revitalised, forming a blue
network. Along the revitalised nullah/water channels and proposed
watercourse, Riverside Walking Trail has been planned. These four
watercourses penetrating the PDA will form the special character of
Yuen Long South .
View Corridors and Breezeways
Two key view corridors / breezeways are identified, one along Kung Um Road Yuen Long Nullah and one along hillside of Ma Shan passing through the ‘Green Zone’. Open space and low-rise uses are placed along these links to foster the visual linkage between Yuen Long New Town and Tai Lam Country Park, as well as to improve air ventilation.
