  1. Physical Planning & Marine Resource Protection By The Physical Planning Unit

  2. The Physical Planning Unit is governed by the Town and Country Planning Act (#45 of 1992) All Decisions are Made by the Physical Planning And Development Board. It’s a regulatory Agency

  3. The Town and Country Planning Act therefore dictates that all persons wishing to carry out any development must first apply for permission before doing so

  4. The Physical Planning Unit (the Secretariat of the PPDB) processes all development applications

  5. All major development applications must be accompanied by an EIA.Note: An EIA may be requested for established developments. If the developer fails to do so he commits an offence, and the Board may take steps to ensure compliance.

  6. Coastal developments have to observe a 100 foot set-back from the high-water mark. Development here include buildings of any kind, septic systems etc

  7. The PPU ensures that the marine environment is protected by collaborating with the other state agencies (Fisheries Division, Land & Surveys Department, Parks, Rivers and Beaches Authority etc) to ensure that all necessary permits for use of the marine resources are secured
