Homes plan for Jersey tourist attraction
The Living Legend tourist attraction in St Peter, Jersey, could be set to close under plans unveiled by the park's owners in August to build 65 new houses on the site.
According to the Jersey Evening Post, the Lewis family said that a fall in tourism had prompted the need to seek an alternative use for the 5.5-acre (2.2-hectare site), which boasts a karting complex and two adventure golf courses. Living Legend managing director Chris Lewis told the newspaper: "We are continuing to operate as a visitor attraction for the foreseeable future. A decline in tourism has forced us to look at alternatives."
However, the States of Jersey government announced on 20 August that a planning application for the scheme could not be processed until a transport assessment and other information had been provided. Buckinghamshire-based RMA acted as lead consultant and architect on the development of the £8.5m Living Legend attraction, which was completed in 1992. The two adventure golf courses were added in 1997, while a revamp of the Living Legend Auditorium Show was completed in 2000.
