A Government assessment into the island’s marine and land environments has won a UK award for ‘planning excellence’.
The Jersey Integrated Landscape and Seascape Character Assessment (ILSCA), which was developed by town planners and Government officials in collaboration with Fiona Fyfe Associates, secured top prize at the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) South West Awards for Planning Excellence.
It won the Excellence in Plan Making category, and the overall Excellence in Planning Award, and goes through to the RTPI’s national awards, which aim to celebrate the best of planning throughout the British Isles and highlight examples of how planning can have a positive impact on quality of life. They will take place in April 2021.
The ILSCA investigates how the island’s land and marine environments contribute to its sense of place.
The assessment set out a series of recommendations on how to protect and enhance the island’s natural environment and will help shape new planning policies for the entire Bailiwick.
“To have our work recognised outside the Island in this way is very rewarding. I am delighted that the RTPI considered the ILSCA to be both innovative and a potential exemplar in planning for other island and coastal communities,” Jersey’s Head of Place and Spatial Planning Kevin Pilley said.
