Plans approved for 69 homes on former CI Tyres site in Guernsey
Two six-storey apartment buildings and a few courtyard houses will be developed on the former CI Tyres site on La Charotterie in St Peter Port.
An application for 57 flats in one ten-storey block had already been granted permission but the site's owner, Guernsey Housing Association (GHA), then decided to change its application.
The area will now include 60 one-bed and nine two-bed homes, with hopes that it will help address the island's housing crisis.
Its Chief Operating Officer, Lisa de Kooker says: "We remain committed to progressing developments that provide high-quality, affordable homes for islanders and this scheme does just that."
The plans will now go through a tender process for contractors before final approval by the GHA and Guernsey States.
Construction is expected to start in early 2026 and the development could be completed by the end of 2027.
The land was bought by the GHA for £1.7 million back in 2022 with initial hopes that up to 25 units could be developed by 2024.

Guernsey Post announces ten redundancies as it restructures freight service
Guernsey Post will cut ten jobs as it restructures to try and make efficiency savings. From September, the company's freight subsidiary HR Air will be split, with Guernsey deliveries brought into the island's main postal operations, while HR Air's customer services and admin will move to Jersey. Guernsey Post Chief Executive Steve Sheridan says they will support all workers affected by redundancy and the HR brand continues to be an important part of the wider business. He explains: "This has been a very difficult decision, but a necessary one to respond to changing market dynamics and ensure we are operating in a way that is both efficient and sustainable. "Our priority is to support our colleagues through this transition while continuing to deliver reliable and high-quality service to our customers." The changes are part of Guernsey Post's 'business transformation programme' which started in 2023 and aims to secure the organisation's long-term future.
