​​POS Enterprises (POSe), the operational arm of the Planning Officers Society, was appointed to provide a team to visit the States of Jersey to do the following:

• take a forward look at how the planning service might develop over the next three years to assist in focusing resources and efforts

• consider how plan making for the Island might develop in the light of relevant experience within the UK planning systems

• make an independent assessment of how the Island’s planning system effectively balances environmental protection, heritage and the social needs of the Island against the need to see sustained economic performance and in the light of the Island’s long term strategic aims

• review delivery of the recommendations of past reviews to identify any outstanding recommendations which might be seen as priorities in the context of the ideas for future development of the service

The review is entirely independent and no member of the team has any personal involvement with the Island or the States of Jersey.​
