惠福道安老院要求延期審理住宅申請 Re-development of the Home for the Aged(６)

向大家報告此事最新進展：因改建多座高層住宅的申請引起太多政府部門、區議會及當區居民反對，申請人早前要求城規會延期2個月審理其申請，指需補充更多資料以解釋其申請云云（此事背景詳見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/index?l=f&id=16）。

我早前已向規劃署查證，城規會批准申請人的「延期申請」，即我們要再等約兩個月才會知道城規會是否否決是項申請。我要求規劃署如果申請人所補充的資料涉及較大改動，必須再次諮詢公眾。否則這是申請人利用程序試水溫及淡化外界反對聲音的卑劣手段。

The applicant applied to defer handling of its application of the re-development plan of the Home for the Aged just before I raised the issue to the SDC, in the name of providing more detail information . (The background of this issue, pls refer to http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/index?l=f&id=16) 

The application of deferring 2 months was accepted by the Town Planning Board. I've demanded the Planning Dept that if the application is substantially amended, the public should be consulted again, in order to make it clear and open to the public.
