11,292-home plan for Yuen Long rejected

Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016) and Hongkong Land's 2019 application for an 11,292-flat project in Shek Wu Wai in Yuen Long was rejected by Town Planning Board yesterday.

The project is located at San Tin/Lok Ma Chau and the future development of the area has not yet been formulated, therefore the rezoning application was not supported, the board said. The developers said they were aware of the TPB's decision and that they had submitted another rezoning application earlier in May this year, which would be more in line with the government's latest planning and development framework.
