He hopes to build an additional 30 self-catering units on the St Brelade site, attracting around 4,500 more tourists a year who will spend their money in the Island.

Mr Graham expects that the extra visitors would keep local attractions open and he has calculated that Durrell alone would get a boost of £28,000 a year.

If the plans are approved by Planning, Mr Graham hopes to start building in October so that the units would be ready for next summer. The development would cost roughly £7 million
