Plans for old brewery site include multi-storey car park and new homes

Thursday 05 January 2017

The abandoned Ann Street Brewery site on the northern edge of St Helier could soon be dramatically transformed thanks to a £19million regeneration scheme.

Local property developers Comprop have submitted plans to build a 605 space multi-storey car park, plus 12 external spaces, refurbish four listed properties and create 15 new homes. The scheme also includes road improvements, and a pedestrian link from St Saviour’s Road to the Town Park.

Commenting on the plans, Comprop Managing Director, Steve Marie said: “We have been endeavouring to find a suitable solution for the regeneration of this former brownfield site for some considerable time. During the past 12 months we have developed a scheme which will allow this regeneration to take place. This site is ideally suited for a multi-storey car park of 4 storeys with the proposed completed height very similar to previously demolished buildings on the site and one storey less than the currently approved scheme. An additional advantage to this site becoming a multi-storey car park is that access and egress is directly onto the St Saviour ring road.”

“In addition, the adjacent listed residential properties will be refurbished and further complemented with new build units. It is always difficult to find a balance for a site of this nature however, we do feel that this mixed use scheme offers regeneration for this part of St Helier whilst also providing car parking on the ring road and out of the town centre, all in line with the North of St Helier Masterplan.”
