The Royal Jersey Golf Club has put forward proposals to demolish and reconstruct some of its buildings after a "devastating" fire in May, which destroyed its facilities at Fort Henry.
The fire caused an estimated £1 million of damage, destroying the club's office and storage facilities at the historic fort.

The club's General Manager, Darren Attwood, described at the time how the blaze had destroyed expensive equipment – hand green mowers, ride-on green mowers, lifting equipment, grinding equipment, and the club's workshop and tools.
For many of these, he added, there is an 18- to 24-month waiting list.

One building, deemed too dangerous, has already been demolished.
A new planning application now proposes to demolish more of the building, and replace some of the club's facilities.

If the application is successful, the club would build a new single-storey workshop, a new single-storey welfare building, upgrade the fire performance of the walls to the vehicle storage, and install sprinklers.
The welfare building would contain two staff rooms, toilets, showers, and a locker room.
