20090917 準國家級公園變私人墳場 座落馬屎洲 多次舉報 政府懶理
clipped from hk.apple.nextmedia.com 【本報訊】正計劃申報列為國家級地質公園的大埔馬屎洲,其中一幅農地未經申請下改變土地用途,現被發展成私人墳場,地政署及食物環境衞生署正調查墳場有否違法。有環保團體批評,去年底已發現有人在馬屎洲這片「具科學價值用地」上砍樹大興土木,曾多次舉報,但當局遲遲未有採取行動。
被發展成私人墳場的是馬屎洲西南端水芒田的一幅農地,由大埔三門仔乘船約五分鐘便可抵達,墳場岸邊設有一個簡便碼頭。墳場名為遠福園,場內鋪上石板,設有神像、祭壇及墓碑等設施,估計可放置 地政署發言人表示,該幅土地是私人農地,無收過改建為墳場的申請;由於私人農地土地契約較寬鬆,地政署正徵詢法律意見工程有否違反地契,若證實違契,會要求業主恢復原有用途。
香港地貌岩石保育協會主席吳振揚指出,去年 9月開始見到水芒田出現大型鏟泥車進行工程。至今年 |
