The politicians scrutinising plans for Jersey s new hospital have demanded to see detailed designs for the proposed access route.
The Constable of St Helier is also calling for any green spaces or trees lost to the project to be replaced.
It comes as the States is being asked to approve Westmount Road as the main access route to the Overdale site at its next meeting on 9 February.
In order to accommodate increased traffic volumes, the road up to it will need to be rebuilt, three nearby homes will need to be demolished, and the Jersey Bowls Club will need to move.
The Future Hospital Review Panel wants see detailed drawings of the scheme, as well as information about how nearby properties will be affected.

ITV News can reveal two government ministers tried to stop Jersey’s hospitality lockdown.
Senator Lyndon Farnham, the Deputy Chief Minister and consultant to the Royal Yacht Hotel, and Senator Ian Gorst, the External Relations Minister, wrote to the Chief Minister, Health Minister, and Dr Ivan Muscat in early December calling for hospitality venues, other than pubs, to be allowed to reopen to serve alcohol alongside a substantial meal.
The revelation is contained in a new batch of minutes from STAC, the Scientific and Technical Advisory Cell, which advises ministers on how best to manage the pandemic.
GROWING tea could provide a multi-million-pound boost for the rural economy and help secure the future of the agricultural industry, the Economic Development Minister has said following successful trials of the crop.
