Planning Inquiry into the Draft Local Planning Brief for the St Peter Port and St Sampson Harbour Action Areas - Further Representations

Overview

In a second stage of the Planning Inquiry process (the ‘further representations’ period), you are invited to comment specifically on the Initial Representations made on the Draft Local Planning Brief for the St Peter Port and St Sampson Harbour Action Areas prepared by the Development & Planning Authority ("The DPA").

It is highly recommended that you familiarise yourself with the Draft Local Planning Brief and the St Peter Port & St Sampson Proposals Maps, which are inserted along with a summary extract as links below, for your convenience:

In addition to familiarising yourself with the Local Planning Brief, it is also essential that you familiarise yourself with the Initial Representations, as in this second stage, Further Representations may only be made on the Initial Representations. Therefore you will need to locate the reference number of an Initial Representation in order to make a Further Representation. All Initial Representations can be found the via the links below:

The Inspector undertaking the Planning Inquiry welcomes further comments and representations on the Initial Representations that have now been published. His job is to assess the Brief against legal and procedural requirements, including whether the proposals contained within the Brief are ‘sound’. There are accompanying Inspector's Guidance Notes which explain the Inquiry process in more detail and what ‘sound’ means with regard to planning documents.

If you are making a very detailed submission on an Initial Representation, i.e., more than 1,500 words, you will need to provide a short summary (not exceeding 350 words).  

There are three stages for the public consultation and engagement:

Stage 1: Initial Representations (comments)

The period for making initial comments and suggestions for changes to the Draft Local Planning Brief closed at 5pm on Monday 14^th October, 2024.

Please note, now the period of Initial Representations is closed, no further new topics / areas for comment can be made, over and above those already commented on and published.

Stage 2: Further Representations

At this stage, members of the public are able to make comments on the suggestions and feedback already received from the Initial Representations stage.

Stage 3: Public Hearing

The Public Hearing sessions will provide opportunities for structured discussion and scrutiny of the Local Planning Brief. Prior to the hearing sessions, the Inspector will have set out his Statement of Matters and the formal timetable for the hearing sessions.
