The empty plot is north of the Mont Gras d’Eau-based hotel, which closed several years ago and received planning permission in November 2021 for its demolition and replacement with three four-bedroomed units.

In a statement accompanying the car park application, agent JSL Architecture writes: “Currently much of the site is being used for welfare and parking for the Miramar development opposite.”

It adds: “The car park has degraded over time and does not add significant character; it only demonstrates the substantial opportunity to regenerate and improve an unused space while providing much-needed housing.”

The plot is in the ‘green backdrop zone’ as defined in the Bridging Island Plan. It is proposed that the two-storey home will have a lawn, patio area and external bike storage as well as space for three vehicles.

The planning application, which has been graded ‘Major’ and will be considered at a later date, can be viewed here.
