Cabinet removes blue iguana protection directive
Cabinet has lifted an interim order restricting activity on East End land to protect blue iguanas, citing constitutional requirements to follow due process, as well as balance property owners’ rights and species protection.
Premier Andre Ebanks announced the decision in a press release Wednesday. The directive, in place since February 2023, allowed the National Conservation Council to have final say over planning applications on a vast swathe of land in the eastern districts.
Landowners will now return to the standard process of applying to the Central Planning Authority, which is still legally required to consult the council before approving projects. However, it is no longer mandated to follow the council’s advice.
