Selling Planning’s offices will deliver more homes

From Senator Freddie Cohen.
MICHAEL Green (JEP, 29 Jun) has misunderstood my suggestion on the redevelopment of the Planning and TTS offices at South Hill.
I fully support using the value of the site to deliver affordable or social housing for Islanders. There are two alternatives: either we build affordable homes on the South Hill site or we sell the site for higher value housing and use the receipts to build a higher number of affordable homes elsewhere.
It’s surely obvious that, if we follow the latter route, we will deliver many more affordable homes for Islanders as we will be using the sale value of a high value site and applying the proceeds to deliver affordable housing on other sites.
I am fully committed to the delivery of affordable and social housing and, indeed, am designing the new Island Plan to deliver as many as possible. This will deliver affordable housing on every large development site without requiring the rezoning of green fields in the countryside.
I am committed to meeting the demand both for shared equity discounted housing and social rented housing.
