All of the plans were subject to public consultations, with the Pointues Rocques site in particular sparking a number of responses from the public.
A draft framework for the St Sampson site was first issued for public feedback in August 2017 and received 76 responses, with many raising concerns about traffic flow.
The plans were then changed to offer two vehicular access points to the site – one from Robergerie Road and the other from Rue des Pointues Rocques, and a second draft was issued for consultation in August 2018.

The Development and Planning Authority says it has since reviewed all responses and made some more changes, including the overall housing numbers and density. Instead of housing 100-150 dwellings as previously suggested, the site’s potential yield has been decreased to 75-125.
A planning application for part of the site was previously submitted and will now be revised before being considered formally by the DPA.
Meanwhile, the loss of a green field and close proximity to the power station were two of the main issues raised throughout the six-week consultation on Le Maresquet in the Vale. The framework received 27 responses and opposition from some of the parish deputies.

As a result, the DPA made a number of changes to the archaeology, flood risk and density sections before the document was approved.
The site is expected to accommodate about 21-38 dwellings and proposals could include private and communal amenity space.
No members of the public made their voices heard on plans for the English and Guernsey Arms pub on The Bridge though, as the four-week consultation only attracted responses from consultees, including States’ committees and parish constables.

Some amendments were made in response to the main issues raised, relating to the recording of archaeological remains, the potential for noise impact on future residents, the planting of native species and reference to electric vehicle charging points.
