I would like to access information in the Jersey Archive deposited by the Planning and Environment Committee ref: D/W/F1/1/01/07/1

Specifically I would like to view: Copies of the Island of Jersey Development Plan, 1961; a Record of the States decision on the Barrett Report; a report on Development Standards, 1969; a report on Development in the Town, Towards a high building policy, 1970.
