Jim RowlesA PLANNING application to reinstate the St Martin’s recycling bring banks at Manor Stores has been refused.

The Public Services Department wanted to resurface part of the site, install CCTV and create a new access road onto Le Hurel for the recycling bins.

But director of planning control services Jim Rowles said the proposal would result in the removal of trees and shrubs and introduce more hard surfacing and lighting which would damage the character of the area.

He said a traffic services officer consulted over the plans also had concerns about access to the site.
