Developers have submitted an application to build ten flats, split evenly across the two blocks, on Grande Route de St Clement.
If approved, the scheme would mean the demolition of a bungalow known as Westbury and a larger neighbouring house called Fairfield.
Under the plans, put forward by Rose Development Ltd, two, one-bed apartments and eight, two-bed units would be built. The development would also provide parking for 14 cars.
A design statement about the project produced by Mac Architectural Services said: ‘The principle of the proposed development on the Samarès site is to provide high quality out of town apartments.
‘By combining the two sites, Westbury and Fairfield, it is possible to provide two, three-storey buildings which sit within the existing street-scape running along Grande Route de St Clement.’
The designers also said they had taken inspiration from the look of neighbouring properties.
‘We propose that the construction of ten high-quality apartments in this area will provide sought after accommodation outside of town,’ the application said.
‘The proposed design, location and size of the proposals have been carefully considered to sit amongst the surrounding buildings while providing the minimal impact on the neighbouring properties.’
However, the plans have attracted several objections from those living nearby, who are concerned that the development will lead to an increase in traffic, noise and some loss of light for nearby homes.
Objecting via the Planning Department’s website Andrew Ingram wrote: ‘Grande Route de St Clement is a very traditional road with mainly houses and bungalows. The last thing I would like to see on this road is new flats being built.’
Dominic Vye added: ‘The two apartment blocks with ten flats and 18 bedrooms will accommodate approximately 20 additional residents where two families lived before. This will cause additional noise and disturbance in the area via general noise levels, traffic to and from the area and rubbish removal.’
The scheme is now being considered by the Planning Department.
