Current Planning Overview

The Current Planning section (CP) is responsible primarily for processing development applications for presentation to the Central Planning Authority (CPA) on Grand Cayman and the Development Control Board (DCB) on the Sister Islands.

Planning permission is required for a range of developments, including houses, apartments, commercial buildings, land clearing, advertising signs, pools, cabanas, sheds, and many more. Current Planning's primary responsibility is to ensure that development proposals are in accordance with the Development Plan, Planning Law and associated Regulations and Policies.

Current Planning is also responsible for code enforcement. Emphasis is on compliancy by preventing rather than removing illegal development and uses through staff contact and the issuance of Enforcement and Stop Work Notices.
