Island Development Plan
Overview
The Island Development Plan replaces both of the current Development Plans, the Urban Area Plan and the Rural Area Plan, which were prepared under strategic policies that are over 10 years old and are now out of date. The Island Development Plan deals with a wide range of land use and development issues, such as:
- How the local economy will be supported through the use of land;
- Where new homes may be built, and where industry, leisure and retail facilities may be located;
- How physical and social infrastructure will be provided to support new development; How Guernsey’s Main Centres and Local Centres will be developed;
- How the built and natural environment will be conserved and enhanced;
- How householder applications for development will be assessed under the Island Development Plan.
What is the Island Development Plan used for?
The Island Development Plan has six main purposes:
- To manage the physical environment so as to facilitate the delivery of the States of Guernsey strategic objectives that require the use of land, as set out in the Strategic Land Use Plan;
- To ensure that development is carried out in such a way as to appropriately balance the social, economic and environmental objec" ves of the States of Guernsey;
- To provide the policy framework for the determination of planning applications;
- To encourage suitable development on appropriate sites;
- To conserve and enhance the best of Guernsey’s physical environment;
- To help to guide public and private investment in relation to land planning.
