Site formation at South Lantau’s Green Belt zone

Posted in : News on by : Around DB Comments: 0

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has this week reported a large-scale vegetation clearance and site formation on green belt land at Cheung Sha, South Lantau.

The site in question has a planning application pending for use as a camping ground and a place of recreation, sports or culture.

WWF has said it is concerned that due to statutory laws, the Planning Department has no jurisdiction to restrict the application, and has criticised the ‘destroy first, apply later’ tactic it says is being used.

The organisation is urging the public to formally object to the application in order to prevent further damage to South Lantau land.
