was revealed yesterday.

For the West End Development Corporation's application to put up a glass roof over the courtyard area of the Cooperage has been refused.

A report to the Development Applications Board said that the proposed glass roof would damage the historic architecture of the area and detrimentally alter the appearance of the Dockyard area.

The report added: "Any form of enclosure of the Courtyard is an inappropriate form of development which will have a detrimental impact on the historic and architectural character of the Cooperage.'' But it is understood Wedco will appeal against the decision.

Other applications refused by the DAB included one for the Port Royal Service Station.

Applicant Mrs. Maurice Terceira has already built a new canopy and pump islands at the service station.

But a report to the Board said: "The board is not satisfied with the height of the development, which is considered to be excessive and out of context with its surroundings.'' And the Board said it would advise Environment Minister Tim Smith that action should be taken to ensure the canopy was built at a maximum height of 12 feet.

Also failing to gain permission was an application from Mr. Leroy Simmons, of Upland Street, Devonshire, to use the house for music teaching.

Planners said: "The Board is not satisfied that the home occupation development will not be injurious to the amenity of a residential area by reason of noise and the generation of traffic to the site.''
