香港發展局於周二公布六項附屬法例，旨在消除北部都會區發展瓶頸。其中一項主要措施將非保育區的城市規劃程序從九個月縮短至兩個月。專家表示，此舉不會削弱城市規劃委員會的權力。

香港發展局於2026年3月17日或18日（周二）公布一籃子六項附屬法例，針對新界北部靠近內地邊境的北部都會區大型發展計劃，旨在消除發展瓶頸並加速項目進度。該計劃包括設立法定機構、加快土地收回付款以及採用新型建築技術等措施。其中一項關鍵提案是將非保育區的城市規劃程序從通常九個月縮短至約兩個月，方法是將城市規劃委員會（Town Planning Board）的審批輪次從兩輪減至一輪。目前，發展商需向委員會提交申請、出席會議並進行諮詢，以更改綱要分區計劃指定的土地用途，此過程通常需時九個月。市議員兼城規師Andrew Lam Siu-lo表示，此法例不僅簡化特定程序，更全面提供加速大型項目的靈活性。他回應有關簡化土地用途審批是否削弱委員會權力的疑問時說：「這要視乎如何看待。」觀察人士對發展局周二公布的法例作出回應，指壓縮程序至兩個月將打破傳統發展「枷鎖」。關鍵詞包括Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu、Our Hong Kong Foundation及Ryan Ip Man-ki等，但未有進一步細節。
