Islanders will be given the opportunity to give their views on the proposals by Environment Minister Jonathan Renouf.

Developing affordable housing is specified as the primary requirement for the site in the Bridging Island Plan.

Deputy Renouf said: “This is a sensitive site with heritage interest, protected open space, and a mature landscape in a prominent rural setting.

“Rising to the challenges of the site will allow the future development of new homes, the possible provision of some community uses, and the renovation of the important heritage buildings there.

“I look forward to hearing islanders’ views on the draft guidance which I will consider carefully, with ministerial colleagues, to help finalise the development brief.”

The site encompasses land to the south of Route de la Hougue Bie, including the Grade 1 Listed buildings and protected open space.

The planning brief is available on the Government website with the consultation open until 10 January.
