Plans to build 200 to 250 houses on two green fields and five areas that are either glasshouse sites or brownfield sites – land that has been built on before – have been proposed in the draft Island Plan.
The plan, which will form the Island’s Planning policy for the next ten years, was released to the public today and identifies the following sites for development:
• De La Mare Nurseries, Grouville.
• Cooke’s Rose Farm, a glasshouse field in St Lawrence.
• Samarès Nurseries, St Clement.
• Longueville Nurseries, St Saviour.
• A glasshouse field in Rue des Cosnets, St Ouen.
• A green field next to Haute Vallée School, St Helier.
• A green field in Verte Rue, St Peter.
Environment Minister Freddie Cohen said that even if seven sites were rezoned, the Island would still not meet the anticipated demands for affordable homes.
