Trinity Church setting has been damaged
Share this:
From Clifford Wilson.
SPEAKING as a long-standing resident of Trinity, I am absolutely appalled at the, to my mind, total reckless lack of architectural sensitivity that has been incorporated into the appearance of the new residential development of houses situated immediately to the east of Trinity parish church.
It is one thing to despoil what was a totally lovely rural area surrounding and complementing the lovely church – but quite another to create a development which flies totally in the face of the Jersey architectural vernacular, without any resultant benefit whatsoever.
The development now taking place is visually far too ‘lofty’ and is both monotonous and uninspiring. It may be arguably praiseworthy for the Constable of the parish, who sits on the States Planning advisory panel, if I am not mistaken, to help to provide homes for first-time Trinity-born purchasers but in my opinion he has wholly failed to ensure that this development can be regarded as one that can aesthetically complement and fit in with its environment.
Instead it appears that it will be downright ugly in its appearance when viewed from all quarters. Even screening deciduous trees around the site have been torn down.
Yet another of this Island’s remaining jewels (the Trinity Church setting) is being spoiled. When will the establishment of this Island ever learn the error of its ways? Presumably now, only when it is all too late!
