Meanwhile HE Governor Peter Beckingham yesterday issued his comment in connection to the Supreme Court decision to halt construction on a the 12-storey development in Grace Bay; which noted that the CJ Margaret Ramsay-Hale after reviewing the evidence ruled that that the project was essentially being fast tracked and missed vital steps outlined in the Planning Ordinance.
Governor Beckingham said, and I quote: “I understand that the Government are considering their next steps on this, and will be issuing a statement shortly. They will of course need to take legal advice from the Attorney General.”
Approval had been given since February for construction of the building but condo hotel owners in the area filed a complaint and yesterday learned in that judgment handed down by the Chief Justice that they have won the case against the Minister of Infrastructure and Planning, the Planning Department Director and the Governor.
RTC awaits the Government’s position on the matter in light of the recent occurrence.
