People can share their views on subjects including housing as part of a review of the Island Development Plan.

The Development and Planning Authority (DPA) has carried out a review, "primarily concentrating on housing land supply, housing delivery and employment land supply".

St Peter Port Parish said they wanted to share the proposed changes.

It said a drop-in session on Saturday was an opportunity to meet and discuss plans as well as raise any questions. The parish said the session would be held between 10:00 BST and 12:00 in the Brock Room at the Constables Office on Lefebvre Street.

The parish said the Island Development Plan is "Guernsey's plan for how land is used to support the community and businesses, preserving and enhancing the natural and built environment".

It explained the plan needed to be reviewed "over time" to ensure it continued to deliver the islands priorities.

The DPA's proposals, external focus on the development of private housing, the delivery of affordable housing, reducing the number of instances where development frameworks are required and ensuring there is sufficient land and support for businesses while supporting the island's biodiversity.
