Jurats Potter and Rumfitt

AG

-v-

Nigel Hall

1 count of contravening Article 8(1) of the Island Planning (Jersey) Law, 1964, by causing or permitting the construction of two wooden sheds and a storage for granite and building materials without the permission of the Planning & Environment Committee, as required by Article 5(1) of the said Law (count 1).

Plea: Facts admitted

Details of Offence:

Defendant erected two wooden sheds in an agricultural field adjacent to but outside his garden.

Details of Mitigation:

Defendant asserted that there had been a misunderstanding between himself and his architect as to whether planning consent was necessary or had been obtained for these sheds.

Previous Convictions: None.

Conclusions: £500 fine with £250 costs.

Sentence and Observations of the Court: Conclusions granted.

The Attorney General

Advocate P de C Mourant for the Defendant

JUDGMENT

THE DEPUTY BAILIFF: We might have taken a more serious view of this matter had not Advocate Mourant - on his clients behalf - made such a full and wholesome apology. The offending sheds and other building materials have now been removed and we have no doubt that a lesson has been learned. We are, therefore, going to fine Mr. Hall £500 with £250 costs and we grant him a week in which to pay.
