Plans to develop the derelict Idlerocks Hotel have been resubmitted, roughly 18 months after approval for a 35-room hotel and three-bedroom dwelling was granted by the Development & Planning Authority.
Architects Lovell Ozanne said they were instructed by their client to renew the existing permission before it expires on 10 April 2021.
No changes have been made to the plans.
"This scheme has not been brought forward by our clients as yet due to the ongoing fragile nature of the Guernsey tourism market, which has been compounded by the current covid pandemic," a spokesperson for the firm said in a cover letter to Planning.

“We would urge the department to approve this application in a timely manner so that this important development has the opportunity to reach fruition.
"The Authority, in line with the published States ‘Revive and Thrive’ initiative will, we trust, see the substantial economic and consequential social benefits in supporting this project.”
The original Idlerocks hotel fell into disrepair after a fire caused two thirds of the roof to collapse in 2003.
The 2018 plans aim to build a boutique hotel complete with a "fine dining restaurant" and spa that "draws on the natural landscape" of Jerbourg.
