A NEWLY released planning brief has spelled out options for housing on the St Saviour’s Hospital site.
Environment Minister Jonathan Renouf has published the brief, which will be the subject of an eight-week consultation, to highlight planning issues affecting the area.
Developing affordable housing was the primary requirement for the site, as set out in the Bridging Island Plan.
Deputy Renouf said: “This is a sensitive site with heritage interest, protected open space and a mature landscape in a prominent rural setting.
“Rising to the challenges of the site will allow the future development of new homes, the possible provision of some community uses and the renovation of the important heritage buildings there.
“I look forward to hearing Islanders’ views on the draft guidance, which I will consider carefully, with ministerial colleagues, to help finalise the development brief.”
The site encompasses land to the south of Route de la Hougue Bie, including the Grade 1 listed buildings and protected open space.
The planning brief is available to view at haveyoursay.gov.je/planning/st-saviours-development-brief, with the consultation open until 10 January.
