The total area of land earmarked for the development is just over 2,000 square meters.
It would require the removal of two of the Club’s tennis courts and a roadside hedge.
Pictured: The plans include the installation of a new roadway and landscaping around site boundaries.
Proposals to construct housing on the site have been in the pipeline for several years and an earlier scheme was approved.
The new plans include some variations, including dividing the proposed dwellings into two separate blocks, providing lift and stairs access and increasing the basement floor area for parking.
The two dwelling blocks are proposed to be named King Charles House with six flats and King George House with 11 flats.
King Charles House would have two parking spaces per flat. King George House would have one per flat. Spaces for bicycles and additional spaces for guests’ vehicles are also included.
Pictured: Plans to develop housing on the site have been many years in development.
Since there are only 17 properties proposed, the development does not fall under GP11 – the controversial planning policy which requires a development to include social housing.

Kings explained the development of the project in recent years.
“Works commenced on the new Kings internal road and traffic junction to Les Croutes in 2018 and [this phase of works] finished early in 2019,” said Kings.

“The works were paused due to the uncertain residential housing market, which was just coming out of recession. Progress was then materially affected by the covid pandemic over the last two years and latterly the shortage of construction materials, equipment and construction workers.
“The current planning permission is for 13 residential units – 10 local market apartments and three open market penthouses.
“Kings have applied to vary this to convert the three open market penthouses into local market, creating a total of 17 local market apartments in response to Guernsey’s need for local market housing.
“The location, footprint and massing of the building have not changed and remain as already approved.

“Kings has taken the opportunity to enhance the external design of the building by adding corner quoin detailing, conservation railings and balconies.
“The development will be constructed to an eco-friendly standard with many energy-saving features and to a very high internal specification. It will also have electric vehicle charging points and bicycle storage.
“Kings looks forward to progressing the construction of this exciting, high-quality, landmark residential development and roadworks as soon as possible.”
