The Draft Bermuda Plan 2008
This new development plan will govern land-use and development regulations for at least the next 10 years, and so we each have an opportunity to review the plan and to lodge our comments or objections on the appropriate ‘public consultation form’ before that deadline date in October. Sadly, the response has been very slow; far slower than that of the 1992 plan. It is up to us to change that.
At a minimum we should each be looking at our own property in this Plan, to note any zoning changes or alterations. We should also look at parklands, playgrounds school lfields, sports fields and nature reserves in our area to check that their zonings havne’t been changed. The Draft Bermuda Plan 2008 is available for inspection at the Department of Planning, online at
www.planning.gov.bm, at post offices and at the national library. You can also call the Department of Planning at 297-7778 or email them at planning2@gov.bm.
