Re: Animal boarding establishment in “Village Type Development” zone

Estate Agents Authority (“EAA”) received a letter from the Town Planning Board (“TPB”) regarding animal boarding establishment in the “Village Type Development” zone.

According to the TPB Guidelines, a selective range of uses including commercial, community and recreational uses may be permitted within the “Village Type Development” zone on application to the TPB on the basis that these uses would serve the needs of villagers and would not adversely affect the character of villages.

Licensees are reminded to inform their clients that animal boarding establishment in the “Village Type Development” zone requires planning permission from the TPB when handling the purchase or renting of land in the rural New Territories. Licensees may contact the Town Planning Board (hotline: 2231 4810 or email: tpbpd@pland.gov.hk) for any queries.
