Jersey s new Island Plan may have to consider tightening the restrictions around applications to develop hotels into flats, according to the Environment Minister.
Deputy John Young told ITV Channel News the department currently has around 10 applications or enquiries in the system to develop hotels. He thinks the current climate as well as the impending Island Plan could have sped up the recent applications.
The last island plans 2002 and 2011 both contained proposals to require, put some criteria in place, but at that time they didn t proceed because the industry was opposed to, and I know it s a policy area that we have to look at in the new island plan..
