The politician is continuing his fight to create more open space within St Helier after plans for 253 homes at Gas Place were approved earlier this year.
But a proposition which he lodged calling on the States to buy the land and turn it into an open space will not be debated this month as planned.
Last week Tunnell Street residents who claim the development is out of character and too big appealed to independent planning inspector Jonathan King about the scheme.
Mr King will now put forward his recommendations to the Environment Minister before a final decision on the site is made.
Mr Crowcroft said that he will wait to hear Mr King’s recommendation before deciding whether to lodge another proposition.
Under the approved outline plans, the site – which was previously owned by Jersey Gas – will provide 253 new homes which will be a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom properties, mainly consisting of flats.
Mr Crowcroft said: ‘The problem of housing and saving green spaces was debated at length in the States when we looked at the new La Collette development.
‘It is a false economy to say we can’t have proper parks and houses. We can have both.
‘If we don’t provide parks then we are at risk of producing town cramming.’
