'Rules are rules': Jersey's Planning Minister says everyone needs to follow the law

Jersey's Environment Minister says everyone needs to abide by the rules when it comes to planning restrictions.

Deputy Steve Luce has been speaking in response to a man putting posters on his St Mary property to protest against a £50,000 fine.

Ivor Barette admits breaking planning rules by replacing windows, but considers his punishment to be excessive.

The Minister says many islanders are unhappy with planning restrictions on listed buildings but still follow the law.
