Deputy Pryke will retain her chairmanship of the Planning Applications Panel and will continue to lead on social housing issues, including the provision of retirement and first-time buyer homes.

Freddie Cohen Minister for Planning and Environment said “I am confident that in making this change and re-focusing the assistant minister's role, we will be seen to better balance environmental and planning issues."

Deputy Anne Pryke, said "This is an exciting development. I look forward to working with the staff at Environment in order to ensure that environmental issues and concerns are brought to the forefront of policy.  I am also looking forward to meeting and working with environmental groups and trusts."
