Plans to redevelop Jersey's harbour terminal have been revised to make the area more pedestrian-friendly.

Ports of Jersey has made changes to its original planning application to upgrade Elizabeth Harbour in St Helier.

The height of the terminal will be increased to improve ventilation, while the canopy has been adjusted to accommodate longer trailers coming from the UK.

Segregation between passengers and freight traffic has been improved, with plans for a more direct route to Albert Pier, and a staggered crossing on Rue de L’Etau.

The volume of material to be dredged has also been reduced by 30%.

Public areas around it will enhanced by plants and trees, while the building's canopy has been redesigned so the colour matches neighbouring buildings.
