A DESIGN that featured in a Royal Academy exhibition in London will now be seen in the Island after a house in the green zone received planning permission.

The owner of Le Petit Fort, Rue des Prés, which overlooks St Ouen’s Bay, is to be allowed to demolish the building and create a new home within the existing fort walls.

Sir Richard McCormack has drawn up plans for the new house and the application was approved by Environment Minister Freddie Cohen last week.
