Resumen

The Act makes provision for town and country planning and the control of development. "Development" in this Act means "carrying out of building, engineering, mining or other operations in, over, or under land or the making of any material change in the use of any buildings or other land or the subdivision of land". The 40 sections are divided into 5 Parts: Administration (I); Development plans (II); General Planning Control (III); Acquisition of land and compensation (IV); Miscellaneous (V). The Development and Planning Corporation is nominated as planning Authority for Dominica for purposes of this Act (sects. 3 and 4). The Act provides for four types of plans: The National Structure Plan, the Regional Structure Plan, subject plans and local plans. These plans shall all be prepared by the Corporation. Part III provides for planning permissions and section 23 of Part III for the preservation of trees and woodlands. Provisions of Part IV provide also for the compulsory acquisition of land for development and the extinguishment of rights on land so acquired by the Corporation. (completed by 2 Schedules)
