PLANS to build up to 150 affordable homes on a controversial site in St Clement should still be considered, according to a St Helier Deputy.
Deputy Paul Le Claire still wants Samarès Nursery, Grande Route de St Clement, to be included as a site to be rezoned for housing.
The 22 vergée site was withdrawn as a possible development site from the draft Island Plan.
The document will form planning policy within Jersey for the next ten years and is due to be debated by the States in ten weeks.

Yet another deputy totally out of touch with the people, affordable homes, who for? the local buyers’ cannot get a mortgage for love nor money, without having an extremely large deposit and an income befitting a States member, so who exactly are you referring to Paul???

Why not? Its got to look a heck of a lot better than a bunch of sheds surely? (or have our lovely farmers been using them to accommodate their staff?)

Unless somebody invents hover cars this year, NO! The parish roads are at a potholed standstill, services constantly stretched to breaking point.
Howsabout offering developers half price for all the unsold properties for real first time buyers – or States buying land in first place before allowing vast private developments then crying “rezone more land”?

Absolutely not. There are already hundreds of empty houses and flats! We have to stop the rape of our Island – no more building on agricultural land. Why do farmers think is is done-deal to demolish greenhouses and build houses?

4 – I agree with Dave. There are some 2,000 properties for sale – why build more.
As I have posted before what about the huge, States owned site of the Old Girls College – it has been left to fall down for far too long – surely this would produce ‘cheap’ houses.
But as someone else said – no doubt it is promised to Dandara!

We’re going to need all the available space in the Island with which to ‘grow our own’ for the forseeable future. No land capable of growing produce should be allowed to be built on unless it’s to support said produce.

Cut the population and you won’t need to build more homes…unemployment will drop as a bonus.

i feel sorry for the young jerseyborn , who want to buy a home to bring their children up in and pass away in , after enjoying life .
how good it would be , if and i say if , those who wanted these homes had a blocklayer , roofer , carpenter, plumber , and electrian on the list, those who could not do this work would labour , and together they would self build as a group, the group did not need so much cash as they bartered their services .
this can work.
