Politicians will tomorrow rule on a planning application to build 46 two-bedroom and 27 three-bedroom self-catering chalets, associated facilities and a one-bedroom staff flat on the former Pontin’s holiday camp site.
Planning officers have recommended that the scheme be approved. On Sunday, thousands of Islanders are expected to descend on St Ouen’s Beach in support of the A Line in the Sand campaign.
They will be asked to join hands in a long line to show the strength of feeling in the Island for preserving Jersey’s unique coastline. However, they may be too late to save one of the main focuses of their protest.
If plans for the chalets are approved, it is likely to make the site a lot less valuable for a developer, given the money that could be made if a luxury housing development was built.
