The new Development & Planning Authority held its first Open Planning Meeting on Friday 11 December. At the meeting, the Committee considered and unanimously approved a planning application by the charity Grow Limited to improve the facilities at its site at Les Petits Quartiers, St Sampson.
Deputy Victoria Oliver, President of the Development & Planning Authority, said:
"The Grow application was a really interesting one to consider in public. The application raised some unusual issues relating to what is essentially a unique form of community use, which were drawn out through the representations. The Committee was very pleased to be able to unanimously support the application at what was a really positive first Open Planning Meeting of the new Development & Planning Authority.
The format of the meeting also enabled the Committee to consider ways in which there could be greater interaction with the speakers on particular points that were raised, which may be developed further in future Open Planning Meetings."
