developments and one retroactive application for a carpentry workshop.

A man who illegally chopped down trees around his home was refused permission to create an additional lot on his Tucker's Town property.

Hamish Burns of Hamilton Parish was told to replant trees and shrubs after he chopped down Brazilian olive wood trees without proper permission.

In addition, his application to create a new lot was turned down by the Planning Department as it believed it would encroach on old mangrove growth as well as land zoned Woodland Conservation.

Planning officials also refused retroactive approval for a carpentry workshop in a residential zone.

Joseph Vieira of Smith's was denied retroactive approval for a carpentry workshop at his home because it was considered an industrial operation.

Furthermore, the site would be used to provide parking for more than one commercial vehicle.

And a proposal for a new condominium development on Brighton Hill in Devonshire was also turned down.

Gayrous R. Powell was denied permission to construct four new two unit detached dwellings on a plot of land zoned Green Space.
