Plans approved for La Grande Mare redevelopment
Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of La Grande Mare Hotel which would see the existing building demolished to make way for a country club and guest lodges in a multi-million pound project.
The application also proposes extensive remodelling of the golf course to support a vision to turn the site into a high-class sporting destination, with a new driving range and golf academy.
"We're excited to see the benefits this development will bring to our local community", said Deputy Victoria Oliver, President of the Development & Planning Authority.
"I’m really pleased to see planning permission granted for this site. It’s an application which needed to consider a lot of different elements and which needed to balance enabling of economic and social potential for Guernsey, while also mitigating any environmental impact."
"Taking into account all the assessments, representations and comments received, it was concluded that the balance of consideration rests very clearly in favour of the proposals", said Deputy Oliver.
