The Kingston and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC) says it reviewing the Supreme Court ruling that a three-storey apartment building on Birdsucker Drive in St. Andrew was illegally approved and constructed.
In a response to
Radio Jamaica News Thursday afternoon, the municipal corporation said it is taking advice from its attorneys on the matter.
The Gleaner reported that Justice Georgiana Fraser on Thursday overturned the building and environmental approvals for the development, declaring that the KSAMC and the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) broke the law in granting them.
The 84-page judgment is a major victory for residents of Birdsucker Drive who took the matter to court in 2018.
