Abstract

The Island will face a number of economic challenges in future years whether it is from the ageing population or a new economic and financial world post 'credit crunch'.

This policy provides a useful starting point for anyone considering making a planning application and will help ensure that important matters related to the assessment of development applications are rigorously, comprehensively and consistently considered. The general development control considerations can be summarized around the following six main themes: Sustainable development; Impact on the environment; Impact on neighbouring land and users; Value of the development; Travel and transport; and Design quality.
