SALTPANS residents do not want four-storey buildings in the Guernsey Technology Park.

All neighbours of the 16.5-acre site spoken to by the Guernsey Press at the weekend showed general support for the Long Port Group’s plans, but the majority highlighted four-storey structures as a major concern.

Residents said they had not been aware of the potential scale of the buildings and were worried their properties would be plunged into darkness.

‘We overlook it and if there are going to be four-storey buildings, we are not going to be able to see much else,’ said Joanne Hutchison, 35, who has lived next to the site for five years.

‘We are all for the landscaping work and the design. It really seemed like it would enhance the area, but we are really worried about the size of the buildings.’

However, Long Port senior development manager Mark Ogier yesterday moved to reassure residents that any four-storey buildings would be away from homes.
