P.48/2011 Amd.(51)
REPORT
The Minister for Planning and Environment is sympathetic to the intent behind the Deputy of St. Mary 's amendment 5(b), (P.48/2011 Amd.(21)), relating to the evaluation of park and ride options, but cannot accept the proposed amendment in its current form. On this basis, and having regard to the recommendations of the independent planning inspectors, the Minister is minded to propose his own amendment to address the matter and better reflect the Deputy 's intent in the Plan.
The Minister would suggest that it is not for him to determine the relative merits of different options for park and ride facilities through the application of this policy. The inspectors agree, and suggest that it is beyond his powers as it stands.
The Minister would respectfully suggest that this task ought to be most appropriately undertaken by the sponsor of any development proposals for park and ride facilities – most likely to be the Minister for Transport and Technical Services – in the development of proposals, and his further amendment seeks to reflect this.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no additional financial or manpower implications arising from this amendment.
