Nam Sang Wai Review
I have also registered my views...
Dear Sirs;
The developer (applicant) has applied for a review of the Town Planning Board's refusal to grant planning permission made earlier this year (2013).
The site is still within the Deep Bay Buffer Zone and -my understanding is that - any development approved should be for the overall PUBLIC good.
The so-called Nature Reserve aspect of the development, the "Social Welfare Facility" etc., are merely added extras to bolster a pretense that this is anything other than a commercial property development, and a large one at that. Such a large development would change the character of the Nam Sang Wai area irrevocably.
Nam Sang Wai has been a magnificent sight this winter with thousands of Great Cormorants flying to and from their roosts there. It would be a travesty of the spirit of the planning process to allow a development such as this to go ahead.
Your decision to REFUSE this application should be maintained.
Yours faithfully,
John Holmes
