Massy Properties, the owner of the land at Mangrove Pond, St Thomas, which has been occupied by waste hauler Anderson Cherry for his Project Recycling business, has been issued a stop notice by the Town & Country Development Planning Office, in relation to the excavation work taking place there.

When contacted, managing director of Massy Properties, Shane Sandiford, confirmed that the notice had been received and “was being passed on to Mr Cherry”.

He added that Massy Properties was also in the process of selling the land to Cherry, who recently announced that he was building a state-of-the-art recycling plant on the location but ran afoul of the Town and Country Planning since there was no permission granted for the project.

The Sunday Sun was unable to reach Acting Chief Town Planner Trevor Leach, who had previously indicated that they were investigating the work, which was being undertaken at the site, where a cave was also discovered.
