Plans to build 150 low-energy homes put forward in Jersey

Plans to build 150 low-energy homes have been put forward by developers in St Helier.

The proposals would see work start on the old planning offices site in South Hill.

If approved, the area would be developed into one, two and three bedroom apartments and a café.

The Jersey Development Company (JDC) and architect firm FCBStudios are working together to improve pedestrian and cycle connectivity around the area as part of the project's "highest environmental agenda".

The proposals also include plans to redesign the adjacent children's play park in partnership with the Parish of St Helier.

A design competition is being launched for children under 12 to share ideas of their dream park.

Winners will receive prizes and book vouchers for their school.

Developers are asking islanders for feedback before a planning application is submitted later this year.

The consultation closes on 14 May and plans can be viewed here.
