Edgar and Colette Brown wanted to construct two houses in the place of two derelict Second World War German sheds on their property in Rue St Julien, St Martin.
Planning initially rejected the decision because the site is in a green zone, but they subsequently gave permission for one dwelling on the site on the condition that both sheds were demolished.
Announcing their findings today, the board says it did not feel that Planning’s decision was in any way unjust, oppressive or discriminatory.
It said that the Browns were being unrealistic in demanding two dwellings on the site of the two sheds.
Mr Brown said: ‘I feel we’ve been badly treated.
In a lot of green zones people are allowed to build for profit.
We want to build for our children.
There is no uniformity in the Planning Department’s decisions.’
