WATERFRONT Enterprise Board chairman Pierre Horsfall has given reassurance there will be no piecemeal development of the St Helier waterfront.

The WEB chairman was speaking after the revelation earlier this week of a planned £55 million development proposed by companies owned by David Crossland and his wife Anne.

Part of the proposal is for UK tourism business Center Parcs to operate 70 apartments and fit out an accompanying leisure complex.

The company will invest £2m in doing so if the project gets the go-ahead.

In total there will 160 apartments, with 90 to be sold to Island residents.

A visual of the scheme appeared in the JEP earlier this week and Mr Horsfall wanted to let the public know that the scale and outline of the proposal are very much part of a collaborative overall waterfront development scheme.

Mr Horsfall said: ‘We are not considering it in a piecemeal fashion and in isolation.

WEB, planners, the Cabe group of architects and the developers have been working together on an integrated scheme that is first class.’
