Up to 112 houses could be developed on the former St Martins Hotel site, following the approval of a Development Framework.
The Framework outlines the possibility for between 62 and 75 homes, or 112 if they are developed as sheltered housing or key worker housing.
There were several issues brought up during a period of feedback on the Framework, including the importance of Rue de L’Eglise as an active travel route, and a reassurance that general housing could be developed and not just sheltered or key worker housing.
“We all know we still need more housing and the responsibility for developing more housing doesn’t sit with any one committee, or even just with the States,” said the President of the Development and Planning Authority, Deputy Victoria Oliver.
“However, our committee does have a part to play in this and we are here to be enablers and not blockers.
“Approving Development Frameworks, such as this one, is designed to support developers, providing clarity and making it more straight forward for developments to come to fruition to provide that much needed housing.
“We’re grateful to all those who commented on the draft Development Framework, which has helped to make sure this more accurately reflects what is important to islanders.”
