MARRIOTT'S PLAN MEETS APPROVAL PLN Marriott's plan meets approval A multi-million dollar plan to make a Bermuda resort one of the "most envied in the world'' appears to have met with overwhelming approval.

Earlier this month, the Marriott's Castle Harbour Resort announced a $65 million rescue plan, completely revamping the business.

Only one objection to the plan has been received by the Planning Department and that came four days after the deadline.

The objector, who has not been named, says the planned new luxury homes will spoil the natural environment and are outside the area zoned for development.

The plan will now go before the Development Applications Board.
