Guernsey politicians to decide fate of plans for new roads
Building up to 190 homes has been suggested for the Saltpans site off Route Militaire, which is one of four in the area set aside for housing developments.The plans include roads, pavements, cycle lanes and bus stops at the area which previously had plans for the building of a data park.The States property unit said the cost for the outline planning application is being included in a larger piece of work which had cost about £118,000 to date.Residents in the north of Guernsey previously raised concerns about the lack of infrastructure ahead of new building projects, saying too many have been planned for their area.Mr Guille said: "There is some logic to building in the north because that's where the infrastructure is and that's where the amenities are."But we're talking at the moment about up to 1,300 new properties in the longer-term just in the area of the Braye du Val."That's an awful lot."
