Senator Cohen has owned the property for around ten years, but says that following the sale he no longer has any property that could create perceived conflicts of interest with his role at Planning.
‘I feel it is important for a Minister of Planning and Environment to have no conflicts of interest, even if they are just perceived conflicts,’ said Senator Cohen.
‘It has given me a cleaner and clearer way forward when I am dealing with issues like the amount of retail space in town, and suggested town improvements.’ Senator Cohen said the building had been sold for £3.95m to a property company called St Saviour’s Property.
