The Authority shall, in the course of preparing a development plan relating to any land, or proposals for alterations or additions to any such plan, consult with the Board and any other public authority concerned with the development contemplated in the area concerned and may consult with such other persons or bodies as they think fit, and the Authority shall, before submitting any such plan or proposals for approval by the Cayman Islands Parliament, give to the Board and to any public authority as aforesaid and to any such persons or bodies as aforesaid an opportunity to make objections or representations with regard thereto.
Notice shall be published, in a public newspaper circulating in the Islands in two issues in each of two consecutive weeks, that the Authority has prepared in draft any such plan, and of the place or places in each district where copies of such plan or proposals may be inspected by the public.
If any objection or representation with regard to any such plan or proposals is made in writing to the Authority within two months after the publication of the notice referred to in subsection (2), the Minister charged with responsibility for planning shall refer the matter to the Tribunal or a Development Plan Tribunal for an enquiry into all such objections or representations; and the Authority shall, before submitting any such plan or proposals for the approval of the Cayman Islands Parliament, take into consideration the objections or representations together with the report thereon of the Tribunal or a Development Plan Tribunal, as the case may be, and shall include such report with the plan or proposals submitted to the Cayman Islands Parliament.
Where the Board objects to any such draft plan or proposals insofar as they relate to land within the limits of Cayman Brac or Little Cayman, the Board may include in its representations to the persons holding such enquiry alternative draft plans or proposals in relation to such land and, in that event, such alternative draft plans or proposals shall be included in the report of the Authority submitted to the Cayman Islands Parliament unless modifications in the development plan submitted by the Authority to the Cayman Islands Parliament take account of such alternative draft plans or proposals to the satisfaction of the Board.
If, as a result of any objection or representation considered, or public inquiry held, in connection with a development plan or proposals for amendment of such a plan, the Authority is of the opinion that the Board or any other authority or person ought to be consulted before it decides to make the plan either with or without modifications, or to amend the plan, as the case may be the Authority shall consult that authority or person, but unless otherwise directed by the Cabinet, they shall not be obliged to consult any other authority or person, or to afford any opportunity for further objections or representations or to cause any further public inquiry to be held.
