‘Benidorm on the Butes’ as Grand homes are approved

THIRTY-SIX properties are to be developed in Alderney after States members backed building plans for the former Grand Hotel site.

But developers Blue Horizon Ltd did not get the green light without a fight after three members attacked the plans, which include provision for 13 social houses.

Mr Walden went on to say he did not believe all the work would go to local contractors and that the social housing aspect was inadequate.
