7.23 Consultation Zones for Hazardous Installations

7.23.1 There are a number of installations on the Island that represent a constraint on development in the vicinity because of health and safety considerations. Such installations are essential Island facilities such as the petroleum and LPG storage at Douglas Harbour. The type of constraint posed to development varies by facility and therefore there will be a need for the Department to consult with the Health and Safety at Work Inspectorate regarding any development within such zones.
