The former Auberge restaurant at Jerbourg could soon be demolished as part of wider plans to replace the existing building with a new residential property.
Andrew Haining bought the property some years ago, when it was still run as a restaurant.
The business later closed and he successfully applied for a change of use to residential after claiming that the view was no longer exceptional so the site was not needed in the hospitality sector.

Now, plans have been submitted by Mr Haining's 'Petit Port Pension Scheme' to demolish the existing dwelling to replace it with a new dwelling, outbuilding/garage with associated works.
The plans also request permission to infil the existing vehicle access to the south of the site boundary.
That would mean access to the former restaurant's car park near the Doyle Monument is removed, closing the site off to the public.

Previously permission has been given for the partial demolition of the former restaurant.
In 2021, when Mr Haining was granted the change of use to residential, he was also told he could demolish some of the building which neighbours his own home, extend, and alter it.
Variations to those approved plans were agreed in 2023.
The latest plans, which were submitted during December and are now open for public consultation, are understood to be the first time that the full demolition of the former restaurant has been requested.
