Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines

The Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines is a government document of planning criteria and guidelines for determining the quantity, scale, location and site requirements of various land uses and facilities. It applies to planning studies, and the preparation or revision of town plans. The document is under constant review to take account of changes in government policies, demographic characteristics and social and economic trends. During the year, planning standards and guidelines for petrol filling stations, liquefied petroleum gas filling stations, electricity supply, telephone service and greening were revised or in the process of formulation.

The document is available for sale to the public on a chapter-by-chapter basis and uploaded to the Planning Department's web site so as to promote public awareness of it and to facilitate its application by non-government bodies.
