Permission is being sought to demolish an old granite pumping station at the top of Mont de Gouray in St Martin and replace it with a glass-fronted three-story contemporary home on a plot measuring just 500 square feet.
It may not have much of a footprint, but the design incorporates two parking spaces at street level with a study/bedroom at the back, two bedrooms and shower room on the first floor and an open-plan kitchen/lounge area on the second level. The house will be topped with a roof garden surrounded with a glass balustrade.
The site is sandwiched between a set of public steps leading up to Mont de la Guerande and a neighbouring property and the application has been submitted by the former chairman of Jersey Heritage, John de Veulle, and his wife, Bridget, who live in a property above the pumping station.
