​The purpose of this brief is to establish the general planning principles for the development of the Summerland and Ambulance HQ sites, and sets out the guidelines to be adopted when preparing detailed proposals for their redevelopment.

It is recognised that both of these sites are presently in operational use but that they have been identified as being potentially surplus to requirements, relative to their current functions, during the Island Plan period, as a result of a series of proposals involving the provision of new facilities for some of the Island’s emergency services.
