Andium Homes plans for sheltered housing facility to replace St Helier House residential home

Negotiations have ended over the sale of the St Helier House care home and Westmount Day Nursery in Jersey.

Parishioners voted to approve the sale of the site back in August, but an amendment to the proposition was carried forward meaning the parish would have to negotiate a betterment fee - to ensure that the Parish and developer shared any gain in land value following the granting of planning permission.

Since then, Parish officials have been negotiating with the approved bidder to finalise the sale agreements, but say they have been unsuccessful in their attempts to reach an agreement.

Now, discussions are underway with social housing provider Andium Homes to consider working together on a sheltered housing facility on the site.
