P.2017/41
The States are asked to decide:
Whether after consideration of the report of The Development & Planning Authority attached to the Policy Letter entitled 'The Island Development Plan - Provision for a café at Stan Brouard Group's Landes du Marche site through the introduction of Certificates of Lawful Use' they are of the opinion:
1. To approve the proposals to make provision for certificates of lawful use under the Land Planning and Development (Guernsey) Law, 2005, so as to allow applications to be made to regularise unlawful changes of use, where -
(a) a compliance notice cannot be issued in respect of that unlawful change of use under that Law, and
(b) the use does not amount to a contravention of a compliance notice in force at the time of the application,
including provision for a right of appeal against the refusal of a certificate and other procedural provisions including the making of applications and revocations and provision for fees.
2. To direct the preparation of such legislation as may be necessary to give effect to the above decision.
The above Propositions have been submitted to Her Majesty's Procureur for advice on any legal or constitutional implications in accordance with Rule 4(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the States of Deliberation and their Committees.
