The Guernsey Housing Association bought the site in La Charroterie for £1.7m. in 2022.

In July last year it received planning permission for 60 one-bedroom and nine two-bedroom homes designed to address the island’s identified need for smaller, affordable housing options.

‘Cliff stabilisation works have now been successfully completed by Geomarine,’ said COO Lisa de Kooker. ‘Despite challenging weather conditions throughout the programme of works, Geomarine has worked collaboratively with us and delivered an excellent outcome.’

She added that while cliff works have been ongoing, comprehensive design development and detailed cost planning for the new homes on the site have progressed.

‘This has included all detailed design aspects of the scheme from substructure design through to landscaping options,’ she said.

‘We are grateful to Groupe Legendre for their work to date and are pleased to be moving in the right direction, with construction of the new homes hoped to begin this summer.’
