Living Legend plan goes back to the drawing board

The Living Legend.
A PLANNING application for 65 houses on the site of the Living Legend has been returned to the owners because it is not complete.
The Planning department has sent back the plans to the Lewis family, who opened the site in 1992, because the application failed to include a transport assessment or any information on the impact of the development on the infrastructure of the area.
Last week Living Legend managing director Chris Lewis announced plans to demolish the Living Legend to build a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes.
He said that the tourist attraction would remain open for the foreseeable future but that this was a ‘Plan B’ if tourist numbers continued to fall.

I can’t understand how and why the Lewis family application failed to include a transport assessment.
Few know more about transport in Jersey than Mr Lewis (I believe he ran the bus service for years before Connex stepped in).
Maybe it was omitted on purpose, in order to allow the Planning Department to get over the initial shock of his housing development.
Maybe he intends going back to them with an imaginative “Transport Masterplan”…
…a private Shuttle Service to and from “Lewis village” to “EVERYWHERE”!
What better way of getting his old buses back on the road…poetic justice!
