PLANNING decisions are about policies set in law and not personal preferences, Environment minister Peter Sirett has said.

MORE than 800 people so far have signed a petition aimed at eliminating ‘eyesore’ buildings on sensitive sites.

THE National Trust of Guernsey shares concerns about the design of some modern buildings.
