Royal Gazette: Parkland saved from the bulldozer
An area of protected parkland which was set for development has won a temporary reprieve from the bulldozers, after the Government backtracked on its decision to grant the project planning approval.
The Bermuda Housing Corporation submitted plans for an events lawn at Southlands to be used by the neighbouring Bermudiana Beach Resort.
Although the Development Applications Board turned down the proposal, that ruling was overturned last November by Walter Roban, the Minister of Home Affairs, after the BHC filed an appeal.
