How will Thanh Binh ward zoning plan change?

Hai Duong City has developed a plan to locally adjust the zoning plan of Thanh Binh ward, scale 1/2000 at the location of the old Thanh Binh market and the current Provincial Youth Union area. According to the adjustment plan, this area will be more spacious, modern and in line with the planning, promoting the efficiency of land funds.

Adjustment is necessary

The Thanh Binh Ward zoning plan was approved by the Provincial People's Committee in early 2021. Accordingly, the old Thanh Binh market area with an area of ​​nearly 0.4 hectares is planned as public land (code CC-11), with a maximum construction density of 40% and a maximum height of 3 floors. The old Thanh Binh market area has long been inactive and abandoned, with degraded architectural works that cause loss of urban beauty. Some kiosks facing Vu Huu Street and Nguyen Luong Bang Street are rented out to sell drinks and small grocery stores, looking very shabby.
In the land plot of Hai Duong Provincial Youth Union, including units such as the Provincial Youth Union, Hai Duong Youth Employment Service Center, Hai Duong Youth Workers and Young Laborers Support Center, it is planned as agency land (code CQ-11), maximum construction density of 40%, maximum height of 5 floors. Currently, many constructions on this land have degraded and are being demolished haphazardly.

According to the adjustment of the general planning of Hai Duong city until 2040 approved by the Prime Minister and the plan to relocate and arrange agencies in Hai Duong city, the land use function at lot CC-11 and lot CQ-11 has changed. The city aims to renovate and embellish the existing area, enhance the urban architectural landscape, synchronously connect with the general technical infrastructure and social infrastructure system; form a group of mixed-use housing and high-rise services, a high-quality high-rise medical building area to serve the medical needs of the province and neighboring areas, contributing to exploiting and improving the efficiency of using urban land funds.

More modern and spacious

According to the adjustment plan developed by Hai Duong City, the old Thanh Binh market area and its vicinity will have its land use function adjusted from public land to mixed land (including the main functions of residential, service, public land...). The maximum construction density will increase from 40% to a maximum of 70%. The maximum number of floors will be adjusted from 3 floors to 10 - 25 floors. Additional planning will be made for 2-3 basement floors for parking and technical infrastructure.

In the land area of ​​the Hai Duong Provincial Youth Union, the land area will be adjusted from 2.46 ha to 2.61 ha. Adjust the land use function from the land of the agency, the construction density is 30-40%, the number of floors is 3-5 floors into 2 medical land lots and 1 commercial service land lot, adjusting the construction density, the number of floors for each land lot. In which, the area of ​​1 medical land lot is 1.85 ha, the maximum construction density is 45%, the maximum number of floors is 21 floors; 1 medical land lot has an area of ​​0.48 ha, the maximum construction density is 45%, the maximum number of floors is 18 floors, the maximum planning is 3 basements. For the commercial service land lot of about 0.28 ha, business serving medical needs, the maximum construction density is 80%, the maximum number of floors is 5 floors. Construction boundaries and construction setbacks on plots of land are adjusted to comply with current regulations.

Mr. Pham Dinh Viet Duc, Secretary of Thanh Binh Ward Party Committee, said that after the city's planning adjustment policy and plan were issued, from mid-2023 until now, the Party Committee and People's Committee of the ward have directed the organization to collect opinions from the community around the adjustment area and related agencies and units. The results showed that the majority of people and agencies and units agreed and supported the adjustment policy and plan. "The local government hopes that the adjusted planning will be implemented soon to facilitate the implementation of projects and works, ensuring a more spacious and modern urban appearance," said Mr. Duc.

According to the assessment of the Department of Construction, the local adjustment plan of the zoning plan as proposed by Hai Duong City is basically consistent with the approved orientation of adjusting the general planning of Hai Duong City and is consistent with the arrangement and planning plan of the province's office in Hai Duong City that has been agreed upon by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. The local adjustment does not change the population size, the approved zoning plan boundary and the nature, boundary, and general development orientation of the urban area. Hai Duong City has had a solution to plan the technical infrastructure system and underground parking lots to meet the needs of use in the adjusted area and surrounding areas, without causing overload. The main planning indicators of the project are basically consistent with current national technical regulations on construction planning.
