Plan for Plémont to be returned to heathland

Saturday 29th April 2006, 12:00AM BST.

PART of the headland at Plémont would be returned to its natural state for the benefit of the public if the owners are allowed to build houses on the southern part of the site.

The owners of the site have offered to return to heathland the area where the Pontins holiday village stands and then donate it to the National Trust for Jersey.

They are hoping to build around 30 houses on the south side of the 25-vergée site, with plans being prepared for owner Trevor Hemmings by Paul Harding from BDK Architects.

Mr Harding described the new proposed development as a quarter of the size of that previously submitted by Dandara when the site was owned by Scottish and Newcastle plc.
