More homes planned for former CI Tyres site
Guernsey Housing Association (GHA) had already secured planning permission to build 57 homes on the former CI Tyres site at La Charroterie but it has now applied for 69.
GHA chief executive Vic Slade said the revised plans were in response to increasing housing pressures across the island.
The housing association bought the site in 2022 for £1.7m with a grant from the States of Guernsey and had initially planned 25 new homes.
The GHA said the proposed development of 60 one-bedroom and nine two-bedroom homes matched the island's need for smaller homes as had been identified by the States' Strategic Housing Indicator.
The proposed design comprises two six-storey apartment buildings and a handful of courtyard houses arranged around a central shared space.
Ms Slade said: "The former CI Tyres site design balances density with quality, and we've taken the time to make sure the scheme reflects best use of the space while creating a place people will be proud to call home."
She said cliff stabilisation would be necessary before the build could begin.
If planning is granted, she said the development was expected to start in early 2026 with completion in the third quarter of 2027.

Simplicity in Loyalty: The Way Out For Indie Hotels
Global Hotel Alliance is betting that simplicity, not scale, will win the next phase of hotel loyalty. With a transparent rewards currency and a sharp focus on leisure travelers, it's carving out a middle path for independents looking to compete without giving up control. Skift Podcast Compelling discussions with travel industry leaders and creatives who are helping to shape the future of travel. Compelling discussions with travel industry leaders and creatives who are helping to shape the future of travel. Learn More In the latest episode of the Skift Travel Podcast, Skift Founder Rafat Ali sat down with Global Hotel Alliance CEO Chris Hartley for a deep dive into the Alliance's unique approach to distribution, direct bookings, and consumer loyalty. What began in 2004 as a Star Alliance-inspired coalition of four independent hotel brands has grown into a global loyalty ecosystem – with leisure travelers at its core. With more than 45 independent hotel brands and 900 properties under its umbrella, GHA is proving that collaboration, not consolidation, might be the best path forward for independent operators. Listen to This Podcast Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | RSS The Value of Simplicity At the heart of GHA's appeal is its loyalty program, GHA Discovery, and its transparent currency, Discovery Dollars. Unlike opaque, often-devalued points systems common among legacy programs, Discovery Dollars offer a simple, intuitive value: 1 dollar equals 1 U.S. dollar. It's a strategy that consumers understand immediately – and respond to. According to Hartley, members with Discovery Dollars in their wallet are 10 to 15 times more likely to book again through a GHA hotel. 'Simplicity and transparency are what travelers want most,' Hartley said. 'They're tired of guessing what their points are worth.' A Loyalty Program Built for Leisure GHA's portfolio skews heavily toward leisure travel, reflecting a broader industry trend that Hartley believes is redefining the very premise of loyalty. While traditional programs were designed for high-frequency business travelers, today's landscape is marked by blended travel and increasing leisure trip frequency, and it is shifting the economics. 'Leisure travelers are staying longer, paying more, and traveling more often,' Hartley said. 'That changes the whole loyalty equation.' GHA Discovery's focus on resort destinations, upscale experiences, and a high proportion of owner-operated properties has created a direct channel for engagement that often bypasses the commission fees of online travel agencies (OTAs). 'If you get loyalty right, people will do irrational things to stay with you. You just have to earn their trust,' Hartley said. Competing Without Consolidating Unlike major chains that subsume smaller brands into massive loyalty systems, GHA offers independent hotels a way to retain their identity while gaining the benefits of scale. 'Most of our brands want to remain independent,' Hartley said. 'But at a certain point, the economics make that hard. We're offering them a middle path.' GHA's model enables smaller hotel groups to negotiate global corporate deals, access preferred partnerships, and reduce their reliance on OTAs without giving up their branding or operational autonomy. 'We don't own hotels. We don't even run them,' Hartley emphasized. 'But we do give them access to a loyal, global audience and the tools to compete.'

A ninety-day commitment period allows companies to test the system, with the freedom to walk away if results don't meet expectations, paying only for the growth achieved. This flexibility sets a new standard in sales training. A Community Built on Success The Grand Slam Offer's performance-based model aligns with Slade's mission to empower professionals not just to earn more but to live better. By focusing on real sales opportunities and measurable outcomes, the program avoids the pitfalls of generic training.
