The Ministry of Finance, Planning, Economic and Physical Development has requested specific adjustments to the Silver Sands Development Project following discrepancies identified.
The ministry has been consistently holding discussions with the team of the Silver Sands Development Project since 3 September 2018, with a view to addressing variances to the project that were not approved.
On Monday, 17 September 2018, following a high-level meeting attended by the leadership of the ministry, the head of the Physical Planning Unit, and the team from Silver Sands, the delegation visited the project site to ascertain the necessary remedial action.
On-site, the Ministry of Finance further assessed the situation and provided guidance to the developer on the specific adjustments required. Following the site visit, the developer complied with the advice of the team and immediately proceeded to undertake the recommended adjustments.
The Ministry of Finance continues to be vigilant that all developments across the country adhere to approvals granted.

The Ministry of Finance is not Vigilant, nor is the Physical Planning Unit. Absolutely useless in my opinion. Before the granting of planning permission, all drawings and submissions should have been examined and approved. Subsequently, all amendments, alterations and deviations from the approved specification should obtain additional approval from the Physical Planning Unit before proceeding.
In addition to the above, I would have thought it necessary for an officer from PPU to make regular if not weekly site inspection. Was this not the case? It should not have been left to members of the public notifying the authorities of this planning breach..
