In what was the first rezoning issue to be considered during the Island Plan debate, Members rejected an amendment brought by Senator Jim Perchard to extend Thistlegrove, a light industrial warehouse site east of Grande Route de St Laurent.
Opposition to the move, which would have increased the size of the site to around 12.5 vergées, included concerns about increased traffic, access and noise.
The amendment was rejected 37 votes to 13 with one abstention.
