究其原因，除了政府關閉大河道多層停車場及收回附近3幅臨時停車場用地興建私人住宅，"一口氣"取消1,300個車位外，更大的問題是《規劃標準》內有些新標準"堅離地"。
While the closure of the Tsuen Wan Transport Complex Car Park at Tai Ho Road by the Government and the resumption of three sites previously used as temporary car parks for private residential developments had reduced 1 300 parking spaces in one go a more serious problem is that some new standards in HKPSG are utterly unrealistic
2014年2月規劃署修訂了《規劃標準》，規定地積比率逾5倍的大型住宅項目，車位數目供應需要減少一至兩成半，而中型的住宅項目，車位數目更要減少三成。
The Planning Department amended HKPSG in February 2014 requiring that large - scale residential developments having a plot ratio in excess of 5 have to reduce the number of parking spaces by 10 % to 25 % ; whereas medium - scale residential developments have to reduce the number of parking spaces by 30 %
我們推算，以一個以中小型單位為主的樓盤為例，如果地積比率逾5倍，並位於港鐵站附近，整體車位數目可以減少四成四。
For a housing development comprising mainly of small and medium flats if it has a plot ratio in excess of 5 and is located near the MTR station we estimate that the number of parking spaces will have to be reduced by 44 % on the whole
政府這邊廂將臨時停車場改劃為住宅，那邊廂又減少車位的供應，形成"兩頭縮"，結果大批車輛被迫停泊在街上，這樣既助長"炒風"，亦衍生交通問題，結果令市民深感憤怒及不滿。
As a result of the Governments dual reduction by rezoning the temporary parking spaces for residential development and at the same time reducing the supply of parking spaces many drivers are forced to park their vehicles on the streets . This has not only fuelled speculation of parking spaces but has also created traffic problems causing serious public resentment and dissatisfaction
此外，當局在2009年修改《規劃標準》，將公眾街市供應與人口"脫鈎"，自此街市便是"零規劃"，造就領展獨大的局面。
Furthermore after the authorities amended HKPSG in 2009 to make the provision of public market no longer related to population there has been zero planning for public markets thus giving rise to the monopoly of the market by Link REIT
我們在上月曾就此問題進行討論，所以我不會在此重新闡述。
As we have already had a discussion on this matter last month I am not going to elaborate here
主席，由於時間關係，最後我想談談原議案內"社區設施的專項基金"的問題。
President due to time constraints the last thing that I wish to discuss is about the dedicated fund for enhancement of community facilities as stated in the original motion
這項建議的目的是希望政府興建一些在社區已有共識並有迫切性的社區設施，例如2009年提出興建上坡地區自動扶手電梯和升降機系統，以方便居於山腰的居民，特別是長者及殘疾人士出入。
The purpose of this proposal is to urge the Government to provide community facilities which consensus has been forged and are urgently needed by society . For example a proposal to provide hillside escalator links and elevator systems was put forward in 2009 to facilitate residents living along the hillside especially elderly persons and people with disabilities
可是，由於撥款的優次問題，這些工程的進度一直非常緩慢。
However due to the funding priority the progress of the project has been very slow
我們設立專項基金，例如上坡工程基金的構思，是希望以專項專款的用途，可以令這些工程盡快上馬。
The purpose of setting up dedicated funds for example a fund for hillside escalator links is to earmark funds for dedicated purposes so that the projects can commence as soon as possible
我希望同事在稍後考慮我們的議案時，同時亦會考慮這個用意。
I hope that when colleagues consider my motion later on they will also give due consideration to this intent
我們主要是希望一些沒有爭議性的工程可以早日上馬，令居民受惠。
We really hope that projects that are not controversial can commence as early as possible and bring benefits to the residents
主席，建屋的問題已令市民非常擔心，而主要的矛盾亦未獲解決。
President housing construction has been a cause for serious public concern and the major conflicts have remained unsettled
政府不斷將土地規劃為住宅用地，並採用"插針式"的方法建屋，原先的社區用地皆變成住宅，以致人口不斷增加。
The Government has continuously rezoned land for residential purpose and built infill buildings thereby turning the original community sites into residential sites and leading to an increased population
如果政府不修訂《規劃標準》，增加適量的社區設施、車位及街市，我相信市民對於建屋的憂慮將仍然存在，由此而起反對的意見亦將令整體建屋速度減慢。
If the Government does not amend HKPSG and suitably provide more community facilities parking spaces and markets I think public concerns over housing construction cannot be dispelled and opposition that arises will tie down the overall progress of housing production
所以，我們希望通過這項議案，令政府改變社區設施的供應，令市民安心，然後加快建屋。
Therefore we hope that by endorsing this motion the Government will revise the provision of community facilities to ease members of the public and then it can speed up housing construction
陳恒鑌議員，請動議你的議案。
Mr CHAN Han - pan please move your motion
主席，我動議我的議案。
President I move my motion That in recent years the Government has made it a prime task to increase the supply of public and private housing but while substantially increasing public and private housing the Administration has not correspondingly increased community facilities especially parking spaces public markets as well as cultural and leisure facilities thus failing to enhance the living environment; in this connection this Council urges the Administration to update the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines and relevant town planning guidelines set up a dedicated fund for enhancement of community facilities and optimize the use of idle spaces or land lots so as to expeditiously construct community facilities such as parking spaces public markets cultural and leisure facilities etc . in various districts thereby responding to the public aspiration for enhanced living environment in communities; the Administration should also earmark financial and administrative resources and draw up a specific timetable for the expeditious implementation of the construction of various facilities concerned
我會依次請要動議修正案的麥美娟議員、盧偉國議員、易志明議員、陳淑莊議員、尹兆堅議員、梁耀忠議員及姚松炎議員發言；但他們在現階段不可動議修正案。
I will call upon Members who move the amendments to speak in the following order Ms Alice MAK Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok Mr Frankie YICK Ms Tanya CHAN Mr Andrew WAN Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung and Dr YIU Chung - yim; but they may not move the amendments at this stage
梁議員，請停止發言。
Mr LEUNG please hold on
代理主席，我始終覺得這樣形容一個行業並不恰當。
Deputy President I maintain that it is inappropriate to use such a word to describe a profession
我希望梁議員自重，並收回有關言論。
I hope Mr LEUNG can act with self - respect and withdraw his remarks
主席，今天有7位議員就我的原議案提出修正案，大部分都是在原議案的基礎上添加一些元素或補充，例如：盧偉國議員的修正案加入經濟元素，要求當局增加工商用地及基建配套，以及提出優化諮詢制度及簡化規劃程序等；易志明議員就泊車位問題提出修正案，要求政府在規劃上要有商用車及電動車的泊位需求；姚松炎議員則在規劃中加入長者友善的元素。
President seven Members have proposed amendments to my original motion today most of which are additions of some elements or details to the original motion . For example Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok has added economic elements in his amendment urging the authorities to increase the provision of sites and infrastructure support for industrial and commercial industries as well as enhance the consultation system and streamline the planning procedures etc . ; Mr Frankie YICK has proposed an amendment in respect of parking urging the Government to consider the demand for parking spaces for commercial and electric vehicles in planning; Dr YIU Chung - yim meanwhile has included elements in planning which are friendly to the elderly population
我歡迎以上各項修正案，因為它們可以令我的原議案內容更豐富和完善，從而讓各政策局掌握本會的要求。
I welcome all the aforesaid amendments because they can enrich and enhance my original motion so as to enable Policy Bureaux to better understand the requests of this Council
這點我在主體發言時已經提及。
I have mentioned these points in my main speech
不過，她的修正案中有些內容我感到比較難以理解。
However I find some points in her amendment difficult to understand
如果她的修正案獲得通過，便會令人覺得立法會在興建街市的立場退了一步。
Her amendment if passed will leave people with the impression that the Legislative Council has moved a step back on constructing markets
我知道麥議員過去一直要求當局興建街市，但她今次的修正案卻有少許反其道而行，因此我們不能同意這項修正案。
I know Ms MAK has been urging the authorities to construct public markets . However her present amendment has slightly run counter to her principle . We thus cannot agree with this amendment
主席，根據我在議會的經驗，同事在社區服務方面一般都希望更快獲得撥款，以及工程可以加快"上馬"。
President based on my experience in Council work colleagues generally hope to expedite the funding approval for community services as well as the launch of relevant works
我在主體發言時提到專項基金的用途，純粹是希望加快一些有共識而無爭議的社區設施撥款。
I have proposed in my main speech the use of dedicated funds . All I hope is simply to expedite the funding process for some agreed - upon non - controversial community facilities
可惜，陳淑莊議員和梁耀忠議員刪去有關專項基金用途的內容，而他們在主體發言時也沒有就此作出陳述，所以我實在難以支持他們的修正案。
Regrettably Ms Tanya CHAN and Mr LEUNG Yiu - chung have deleted the content about setting up a dedicated fund and they have not made reference to this omission in their main speeches . I therefore find it really hard to support their amendments . Lastly I will talk about Mr Andrew WANs amendment
最後，談到尹兆堅議員的修正案，因為在大方向上跟我們比較一致，所以我會支持。
I will support his amendment because we are relatively similar in our general direction
不過，他的修正案內容非常具體地陳列出很多數據及數字，有些更是用了舊的標準，例如在公眾街市方面他是引用了2009年使用的標準。
However some of the many data and statistics he has set out very specifically in his amendment were based on old standards . For example he cited the standard used in 2009 for public markets
這些標準至今已經歷了7至8年，是否仍然適用其實不得而知。
It actually remains unknown whether the standard is still applicable after seven to eight years
如果按照他的修正案提出的每85,000人最少10公頃標準計算，即每人只有1.1平方米，結果是不增反減。
According to Mr WANs proposal a minimum of 10 hectares should be provided per 85 000 persons or 1.1 sq m per person only . In this way the open space has ended up being reduced not increased
尹議員從事地區工作多年，我相信他不會刻意削減休憩用地，而可能只是一時看錯了或手文之誤。
Mr WAN has many years of experience in district work . I believe that it is not his intention to reduce open space . He may only have misread or mistakenly written the numbers
主席，很多謝各位議員對我的議案提出修正案。
President I am very grateful to all the Members who have proposed amendments to my motion
希望我們一起努力，改善我們的社區。
I hope that we can work together to improve our community
主席，今天有37位議員就本議案發言，可見本會對於《香港規劃標準與準則》的更新，非常重視。
President 37 Members have spoken on this motion today reflecting how much importance this Council has attached to the updating of the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG
主席，如果建屋遇到反對意見，應如何拆解？
President what can be done if housing construction is met with opposition?
大多數的反對意見，都與泊車位問題有關。
Opposing views are mostly related to the issue of parking spaces
我們要求政府更新《規劃標準》，政府就回答我說當局已一邊做一邊更新。
We requested the Government to update HKPSG and the reply was that the update has been conducted on an ongoing basis
2009年更新《規劃標準》的結果，是取消公眾街市與人口標準之間的關連；而在2014年，泊車位供應則因為《規劃標準》更新而縮減。
While an update of HKPSG in 2009 had led to the deletion of the population - based planning standard for public market another update in 2014 had resulted in a reduction in the number of parking spaces
這些都是非常荒謬的做法。
All these are ridiculous changes
所以，我希望議員......較早前由於我對梁議員的某些言詞反感，所以我指正他，而他剛才則指正有關情況。
Therefore I hope that Members Earlier on I expressed resentment against Mr LEUNGs remarks and corrected him . Likewise just now he has corrected an irregularity
說回泊車位的問題；我希望大家盡量幫忙解決泊車位供應不足的問題。
Going back to the issue of parking spaces I hope that Members would make efforts to solve the problem of insufficient parking spaces
我相信當局在2014年就泊車位供應更新《規劃標準》，是旨在善用地方和資源。
I think the purpose of updating the standard of parking spaces in HKPSG in 2014 is to make good use of spaces and resources
可惜，在"兩頭縮"的情況下，現時泊車位供應嚴重不足。
Unfortunately as a result of dual reduction there is currently an acute shortage of parking spaces
若在新建項目中出現長長車龍，我相信市民會對現時的規劃政策，甚至建屋政策，抱有很大懷疑，屆時他們不只會表達意見，更會懷疑有關政策和模式是否存在問題。
If there are long queues waiting for parking spaces in the new developments I think members of the public will cast serious doubt on the existing planning policy and even the housing policy . By then they will not simply express views but will also doubt about the relevant policies and approaches
因此，我希望局方因應今天這項議案，能夠盡快檢視《規劃標準》當中是否有不合理之處；若有，請局方盡快更新，亦請其他政策局提供協助。
Therefore I hope that the bureau concerned will in the light of this motion expeditiously conduct a review of HKPSG to see if there is any irregularity . If there is I urge that an updating should be made without delay and assistance from other bureaux should be sought
主席，我首先感謝陳恒鑌議員動議原議案。
President let me begin by expressing my thanks to Mr CHAN Han - pan for moving the original motion
政府近年以增加公私營房屋供應為首要工作，但往往未有相應增加社區設施。
In recent years the Government has made it a prime task to increase the supply of public and private housing but in the process of the work it has not increased the provision of community facilities correspondingly
昨天本會正好就促請政府盡快制訂合適的房屋政策進行議案辯論。
It was just yesterday that this Council held a motion debate urging the Government to formulate an appropriate housing policy expeditiously
正如我發言時強調，落實建屋目標，必須有土地供應互相配合，以及各類社區設施作配套，包括泊車位、公眾街市、文娛及康體設施等，才能為市民提供優質的生活環境。
As I highlighted in my speech the housing supply target can only be materialized with adequate land supply as well as the provision of ancillary community facilities including parking spaces public markets cultural and leisure facilities so as to bring a quality living environment for the public
因此，我與香港經濟民生聯盟的同事基本上同意陳恒鑌議員原議案的建議，促請政府更新《香港規劃標準與準則》、相關的《城市規劃指引》，以及設立優化社區設施的專項基金，善用閒置空間或土地，並預留財政及行政資源，以回應市民對優化社區生活環境的合理訴求。
Hence my Honourable colleagues from the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong and I basically agree with the proposals made by Mr CHAN Han - pan in the original motion which include urging the Government to update the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines HKPSG and relevant town planning guidelines set up a dedicated fund for enhancement of community facilities optimize the use of idle spaces or land lots as well as earmark the necessary financial and administrative resources so as to respond to the legitimate public aspiration for enhanced living environment in communities
我動議修正案，有數項重要的考慮因素，旨在從一個更長遠、全面的角度探討這個課題。
In my proposed amendment several important factors for considerations have been set out such that the issues concerned can be addressed from a more long - term and comprehensive perspective
首先，我們必須了解《規劃標準》的主旨、作用及局限。
First of all we must get a good grasp of the purpose functions and limitations of HKPSG
《規劃標準》列明政府釐定各類土地用途及設施選址的準則，並且提供指引，釐定各類發展的規模、密度及所須的配套設施，不但影響土地及財政資源的分配，而且關乎對未來發展的規劃，其重要性不容置疑。
HKPSG not only provides the Government with locational guidelines for various types of land uses but also provides guidance on the scale intensity and site requirements of various developments as well as the supporting facilities required . There is no doubt about the importance of HKPSG because it does not only affect the allocation of land and financial resources but also the planning for future development
然而，《規劃標準》旨在提供基本的指引，往往以量化形式，為一些設施訂明上下限要求，較側重技術因素，未能充分反映社會對不同政策範疇的資源需求、各項規劃的輕重緩急，以及各類土地用途及基建配套的權衡取捨。
However as the purpose of HKPSG is to provide general guidelines the requirements are invariably set out in quantitative terms with a specified range for various facilities . Hence it is more of a technical document and falls short of reflecting societys demand for resources in different policy areas the priorities of competing planning considerations as well as the trade - off between different land uses and ancillary infrastructure
例如《規劃標準》欠缺前瞻性，未有配合產業政策而增加工商業用地的規劃，明顯存在局限性，反映本港多年來缺 乏妥善的長遠規劃。
For instance as HKPSG is not forward - looking enough no planning has been made to increase the provision of industrial and commercial sites to dovetail with the Governments industrial policy . It is thus clear that HKPSG has its limitations and no sound long - term planning has been made for Hong Kong over the years as a result
由於過去欠缺妥善的基建規劃，工程業界深受其害，一則"做死"，一則"餓死"。
In the past the engineering industry has been severely affected by the lack of sound long - term planning for infrastructure development; consequently industry players either make big money at one time or go out of work at another
我在2013年10月提出議案，促請政府制訂長遠基建規劃，議案在未經修訂下通過，顯示大多數議員認同該議題的重要性。
In October 2013 I moved a motion in the Council urging the Government to formulate long - term infrastructure planning . The motion was passed without amendment indicating the importance attached to the matter by most Members
香港現時處於全球化競爭激烈的環境，內部又出現人口增長放緩及漸趨老化，新一代亦需要有向上流動的機遇，無論對外對內都面臨重大挑戰。
Nowadays Hong Kong must face serious challenges both externally and internally . Externally intense competition has arisen due to globalization . Internally Hong Kong must deal with slackened population growth as well as an ageing population while the young generation also needs opportunities to gain upward mobility
特區政府必須盡快制訂長遠的綜合城市規劃，除增加基建項目外，亦應着眼本港未來二三十年社會發展所需的長遠基建規劃，制訂關乎人口政策、城市發展、土地規劃、房屋供應、產業政策、綠色基建、交通物流、人才培育、優質生活等範疇的整體規劃，審時度勢，有序推動落實大、中、小型工務工程，令新一代有更好的發展機遇，以確保可持續發展。
It is thus imperative for the SAR Government to expeditiously formulate long - term integrated urban planning . Apart from the implementation of more infrastructure projects the Government should ensure due planning for long - term infrastructure development in society over the next 20 to 30 years as well as formulate overall planning in areas concerning the population policy urban development land planning housing supply industrial policy green infrastructure transportation and logistics training of talents quality of life and so on such that public works projects of all scales and sizes can be taken forward in an orderly manner after capitalizing on the actual situation so as to provide better development opportunities for the young generation and ensure sustainable development
同樣重要的是，長遠的綜合城市規劃必須配合人口變化的趨勢，兼顧經濟、民生發展的整體性。
An equally important point is that long - term integrated urban planning must also cater for the trends of demographic change as well as the overall picture of economic and social development
即使政府求地若渴，要盡快增加房屋供應，亦要確保在短、中、長期經濟發展之間，以及在不同土地用途之間尋求平衡，更要顧及不同政策目標的落實。
Although the Government is craving for land and wants to increase housing supply as soon as possible it must ensure that the right balance is achieved among different land uses to serve our short - medium - and long - term economic development with due regard given to the implementation of various policy objectives
既要增加土地及房屋供應，亦要落實全面及平衡的產業政策，增加工商業用地及基建配套，同時要有周詳的交通網絡及社區發展規劃，設法促進各類經濟活動，為新發展區的居民提供就業機會，以應付短、中、長期的不同發展需要。
Whilst increasing land and housing supply the Government must also implement a comprehensive and balanced industrial policy increase the provision of sites and infrastructure support for industrial and commercial industries . In parallel the Government should also provide a comprehensive transportation network ensure planning for social development and strive to promote all kinds of economic activities so that job opportunities can be provided for residents in new development areas to meet the different development needs of Hong Kong in the short medium and long term
本會今天探討的主題既然是關於更新《規劃標準》和《指引》，便不應只着眼於修訂《規劃標準》個別項目指標，而應考慮上述提及的長遠綜合城市規劃的整體藍圖。
Since the subject of todays motion is updating HKPSG and the relevant town planning guidelines we should not limit ourselves to the revision of individual requirements specified therein . Instead we should consider the matter in terms of the overall blueprint of long - term integrated town planning as mentioned above
《香港2030+》旨在為香港跨越2030年的整體空間規劃，土地和基建發展探討策略和可行方案，並將香港定位為亞洲國際都會，以可持續發展為總目標。
Hong Kong 2030 aims to examine the strategies and feasible options for the overall spatial planning as well as land and infrastructure development for Hong Kong beyond 2030 with the positioning and development of Hong Kong as a sustainable Asias World City as the overarching planning goal
政府提出三大元素，即規劃宜居的高密度城市、迎接新的經濟挑戰與機遇，以及創造容量以達致可持續發展。
To this end the Government has proposed three building blocks namely planning for a liveable high - density city embracing new economic challenges and opportunities and creating capacity for sustainable growth
計劃包括規劃足夠土地和空間，以推動經濟領域多元化及優質就業；支持創新科技與合作；加強交通基建的配套設施；以及為老齡化社會採用長 者友善式規劃等。
Specific proposals include planning for adequate land and space to ensure the diversity of economic sectors with quality jobs; supporting innovation technology and collaboration; strengthening the support of transport infrastructure; and adopting the concept of age - friendly planning for our ageing society
在長遠規劃中納入這些元素，回應了社會各界的期望，值得予以肯定。
It is worth commending that the Government has incorporated these elements into Hong Kongs long - term planning in response to the aspirations of different sectors in society
這些元素適用於對《規劃標準》和《指引》進行相應更新，以收相輔相成之效。
Separately these elements can be applied to the updating of HKPSG and the relevant town planning guidelines so as to achieve complementary effects
《規劃標準》和《指引》只用作一般參考，不具法定約束力。
As HKPSG and the relevant town planning guidelines are only intended as general reference they are not legally binding
對於有建議賦予《規劃標準》和《指引》法定地位，規定當局處理規劃申請時必須遵從，我和業界均有保留。
Both the industry and I personally have reservation about the proposal of vesting these standards and guidelines statutory statuses and making them necessary requirements for compliance by the Administration in processing planning applications
此舉會削弱政府規劃的彈性，未能因應個別發展項目在整體規劃中的優先次序，不同的政策範疇和相應的資源分配等因素進行權衡取捨，亦增加業界不必要的合理成本。
Such a move will undermine the Governments flexibility in weighing the pros and cons of individual development projects under different policy areas by considering factors such as their priorities in the overall planning or the corresponding funding requirements . Meanwhile it will increase the operating costs of the relevant industries unnecessarily
因此，政府必須審慎處理。
Hence the Government must handle the issue prudently
例如硬性就開設公眾街市和小型圖書館訂立指標，未必能夠達到資源有效運用，應考慮不同社區的需要，避免"一刀切"。
For instance if a rigid requirement is set for the provision of public markets and small libraries it may result in the inefficient use of resources . Instead of taking a sweeping approach the Government should consider the need of individual communities
今天討論的課題不單關乎本港長遠發展和綜合城市規劃，同樣影響土地及財政資源的分配。
The subject under discussion today not only relates to Hong Kongs long - term development and integrated urban planning but also affects the allocation of land and financial resources
代理主席，我很感謝可以就此議題談談我觀察所得，亦感謝陳恒鑌議員提出議案，以及多位同事們......
Deputy President I am grateful to have the chance to speak about my observations on the subject and I thank Mr CHAN Han - pan for moving the motion and Members
我要趁此機會感謝有關的同事提出議案及修正案，讓我們可以就有關議題發表意見。
I will take this opportunity to thank Members for moving the motion and the amendments so that we can express our views on the subject
對政府有多大約束力？
To what extent does it have a binding effect on the Government?
是否有一個比較嚴謹的機制處理任何違反《規劃標準》的情況？
Can a more stringent mechanism be put in place to deal with cases of non - compliance of HKPSG?
我希望局長可以作出解釋，讓市民更清楚知道《規劃標準》究竟在法律、行政角度上的地位及認受性。
I hope the Secretary can give us an explanation so that the public will have a better understanding of the status and recognition of HKPSG from the legal and administrative perspectives
代理主席，如果要列舉大家熟悉的區域，包括九龍東為例，我相信實在有太多例子令人搖頭嘆息，覺得很多方面都需要改善。
Deputy President in some districts which we are familiar with including Kowloon East there are too many disappointing examples because improvement is needed in many aspects
很簡單，我們較多接觸的，例如有關高嶺土的發展，究竟那裏是否需要興建一條新路，還是舊路已經足夠應付現時的交通量？
For instance with the proposal to develop Kaoline Mine Site is there a need to build a new road or is the old road already adequate for bearing the current traffic load in the area?
事實上，在甚麼情況之下，政府才有責任必須按《規劃標準》行事，還是這純粹是一個擋箭牌？
In fact under what circumstances will the Government be required to comply with HKPSG or is HKPSG only used as a shield by the Government?
區議員很多時批評政府的一些設施、建議沒有按原來計劃或未能作出適當的安排，政府官員的擋箭牌永遠都是："我們有一個現行的規劃、標準及準則，是不能超越的。
Members of the District Councils often criticize the Government for failing to provide certain facilities or proceed with certain proposals as planned or failing to make appropriate arrangements . In response government officials will always say We should follow the existing plans standards and guidelines and cannot go beyond them
這些都是要解決的問題。
These problems have to be solved
如果有不清晰的地方，是否應盡快釐清？
If there is any ambiguity should it be expeditiously clarified?
如果無法依從，在甚麼情況下，政府才可以比較合法、合理地偏離《規劃標準》？
In cases where compliance is not possible under what circumstances will it be legal and reasonable for the Government to deviate from HKPSG?
可否更清楚、客觀地指出這些情況？
Can the Government make clear and objective exposition?
又好像在偏離時，有否一個機制規定政府須公開交代理由，還是只說有困難，便不用作解釋？
In cases where there are deviations from HKPSG is there a mechanism which requires the Government to give an account to the public or can it simply state that there are difficulties without having to give any explanation?
