Green light given to Environment member's request

THE Environment Department has given the go-ahead to plans from one of its own members to create a new vehicle access and driveway.

Deputy Yvonne Burford had to leave yesterday's planning meeting when members decided on her application to remove a section of earth bank to create the new access at La Roda Farm, Rue de L'Eglise in St Saviour's.

The joint application from Deputy Burford and Gary Elson was approved unanimously by the four other members of the board.

The property comprises two separate dwellings on Rue de L'Eglise. One is a traditional farmhouse known as La Roda Farm and the other is an attached barn conversion known as La Roda Cottage.

The vehicle access will serve La Roda Farm.
