Oatlands owner is told to remove Spiegel tent

A CONTROVERSIAL attraction at Oatlands will be going to Jersey after the owner lost a planning appeal to keep it.

The appeals panel said despite a new planning application being submitted for the Spiegel tent, it still had to be removed within four weeks.

The tent has been the subject of a protracted battle that came to a head in October, when the Environment Department issued a compliance notice to have it removed by December.

A planning appeals panel has now officially dismissed the challenge to that notice, much to the delight of many residents.

Oatlands owner Peter Kaufman-Kent said work was now underway to bring it down.
