Planners upset both sides

THE Environment Department has been accused of ignoring parishioners’ complaints by allowing farmer Frank Le Cheminant to build a cattle shed next to his home.
And at the same time, planners have failed to satisfy Mr Le Cheminant by not allowing him to build where he wanted. He sought to place the shed on the same side of the road as fields used by his cattle.
But Environment would not allow that because it would have gone against the Rural Area Plan. Mr Le Cheminant said although he was pleased to get approval for the building at Route de Pleinmont after a long campaign, it was not what he wanted.
‘If it was built on the other side of the road, there would not be the mess caused by cattle having to cross the road four times a day,’ he said.
‘They [the planners] couldn’t have put it in a worse place if they tried.’
Mr Le Cheminant moved his herd of 70 cattle to the former Smithfield Vinery site in 2004. (from thisisguernsey)

Typical States logic....

I know Mr Le Cheminant he is a hard working man who loves farming and has been messed around by Environment for years now and what he wanted made a lot of sense but those two words don't mix Sense and environment Department. :evil:

I agree Digger. Once again planning is dire.
