The most recent lot set to go is at 37 Barry Road in St. George's.

Cable & Wireless has submitted two proposals to the Department of Planning to determine the attractiveness of the property.

One application seeks in-principle approval for a development of 20 residential units, including seven single-storey detached houses, seven two-storey detached houses and six units converted from the building which already exists on the site.

A second application sees a total of 33 units, 27 terraced houses and six units converted from the existing building.

Spokesperson for Cable & Wireless John Instone said the company "is considering its options with regard to the disposal of surplus assets. This is in accordance with a Cable & Wireless Group-wide initiative to relinquish non-essential assets including property.

"Our current application is with a view to being able to present the property in a form that would best serve the needs of a prospective purchaser.'' SCHOOL DRIVEWAY TO BE WIDENED GVT ED School driveway to be widened A new wide 58-foot driveway entrance is on the cards for the Bermuda High School for Girls.

At a cost of more than $400,000, it is anticipated that the new entrance will greatly improve traffic flow on Serpentine Road in Pembroke.

"The Government Roads Department actually asked us to make the entrance this width to allow for two-way traffic in and out of the property,'' said BHS headmistress Eleanor Kingsbury.

The private all-girls' school has applied to the Development Applications Board to make the improvement.

Mrs. Kingsbury explained the current problem.

"At present, before the opening of school in the morning and after the closing of school in the afternoon, BHS traffic often obstructs the traffic flow on Serpentine Road,'' she said.

"The school proposes to alleviate the problem by opening the entrance to campus to two lanes of traffic, coming from either direction on Serpentine Road, allowing a total of 44 cars to line up on campus, to drop off and pick up children.'' The expected cost is $430,000 and Mrs. Kingsbury said she hoped that construction work could be completed during the summer.

AFTERSCHOOL CARE FACILITY PROPOSED PLN Afterschool care facility proposed Plans and a proposal for a new afterschool care facility have been put before the Development Applications Board.

The plans are seeking to have a private home on Rosemont Avenue in Pembroke changed for this use.

Penarth, at 23 Rosemont Avenue, would see its first and second floors outfitted to allow children to play inside.

Architects Conyers & Associates have approached the owners of all neighbouring properties and have met with little opposition.

One neighbour has expressed concern with children playing along the boundary.

But the architects, in documents at the Department of Planning, stated: "We do not expect this to be an issue as the exterior amenity spaces do not border this neighbour's property and as the main idea of the after-school care facility is to provide activities and programmes within the house with the grounds being a secondary area of activity.'' OFFICE, RESIDENTIAL PLANS REJECTED PLN Office, residential plans rejected The Planning Department has rejected two separate plans to boost city residential and office space.

In one of the proposals, developers planned to demolish the vacant Once Upon a Table Restaurant on Serpentine Road, Pembroke.

In its place they hoped to build a new office building with three storeys of office space and basement parking and storage.

But technical officers said the development was not allowed in the district and considered the plan premature and contrary to the City of Hamilton Plan.

And in the second proposal, developers wanted to convert a three-storey building on the corner of Princess and Angle streets to create four dwelling units.

Planning documents stated the building is currently in need of repair, but used for office space and a rooming house.

However, technical officers rejected the application because the one bedroom units fell below the minimum floor area.

AFTER HOURS SEEKS EXTENSION PLN After Hours seeks extension Popular late night eatery, After Hours, on the South Shore Road in Paget, wants to make its kitchen area larger.

The restaurant has applied to the Development Applications Board to extend the kitchen by 90 square-feet, bringing it to 690 square feet.
