Industry could use chunk of Bouet estate
Friday 21st November 2008, 2:28PM GMT.
PART of the Grand Bouet estate could become a strategic industrial reserve if new sites can be found for social housing.
The Strategic Land Planning Group is looking at the feasibility of extending the Pitronnerie Road industrial estate eastwards into the Grand Bouet.
That would mean finding alternative sites to replace the 150 units of social housing planned as part of the latter phases of the Bouet estate’s redevelopment. The first phase, which will replace 54 homes with a similar density of one- and two-bedroom units, would not be affected.
In the Billet for next month’s States meeting, the Housing Department says reducing the high concentration of social housing in the Bouet would have advantages and would support the creation of smaller estates to replace these homes.
The SLPG is hoping to have fully investigated the idea by January.

There’s a lot of sense in the SLGP proposal for the Grand Bouet and many would agree there is too high a concentration of social housing. as for alternative housing sites, hasn’t part of the former Belgrave vinery been zoned for housing? The area in Le Murier currently used as a “temporary” commercial site would seem to be ideal.
