Thirty one objectors to a Paget condominium development will now play the waiting game after an independent inspector heard their appeal.

The objectors are appealing the Development Application Board's decision to give Bostock Mews Development permission in principal to build five three-bedroom condominium units on two Bostock Hill lots.

And yesterday they packed the Senate Chamber at the Cabinet Office to present their case to independent inspector Peter Cummings during a public inquiry.

Mr. Cummings also heard the case for Entasis Architecture on behalf of Bostock Mews Development and the sole listed developer Calvin Simons.

The major thrust of the objectors' case is that the architects used their own zoning lines for the two lots of land, one of which is zoned Residential One, the other Agriculture Conservation, instead of the zoning lines determined by their client's surveyor Bermuda Caribbean Engineering Consultants.

Lawyer for the appellants, Mrs. Juliana Jack of Mello, Hollis Jones and Martin, later told The Royal Gazette : "I think it went very well today. I do not think the architects were able to properly answer any of the questions regarding the movement of the zoning lines.'' It has already emerged that Entasis dismissed BCEC's zoning lines in favour of their own, which they based on the cultivated land existing on one of the lots.

However, Mr. Cummings heard yesterday that the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries conducted their own survey of the site and placed the zoning lines in the same place as BCEC's survey.

And these zoning lines for the conserved land show that one of Entasis' three proposed buildings for the site will encroach on the arable land.

Amongst the objectors' other concerns are the risk of increased traffic, noise, general overcrowding and the introduction of a type of development which is not in keeping with the largely residential neighbourhood.
