Tom Binet, the Jersey Royal Company managing director, already has permission to demolish La Hougue Bie Nurseries in Grouville to build two houses, but was refused planning permission to build a third building at a Planning applications panel meeting last year.
He has since applied to Planning for a ‘request for reconsideration’ for the third building.
At a ministerial meeting on Friday, planning officer Roy Webster said that an appeal by Mr Binet to the Royal Court had been put on hold pending the outcome of the request for reconsideration.
‘If we maintain refusal it will go to court,’ he said. ‘If the decision is to allow the third dwelling the Royal Court appeal will fall away.’ Mr Webster has therefore recommended that plans for a third home should be approved.
