PPG for development along the motorway

- Cabinet has taken note of the Planning Policy Guidance for development along the motorway, which would be issued to Municipal and District Councils.

The guidelines aim at safeguarding the scenery along the motorway corridor for arriving tourists, as well as retaining a green belt which would be visually pleasant. Moreover, the guidelines make room for future developments in certain strategic locations along the motorway in line with the National Development Strategy.

These include:
(a) the need for very high standard of design if developments are to go very high;
(b) the height of the buildings being proportional to road capacity, taking into consideration scope for improvement;
(c) a road reserve being observed along a motorway to cater for future widening and associated utilities; and
(d) contribution of developers towards the provision of infrastructure and utilities.
