GSC seeks to preserve Whitegates site for housing as demolition application is submitted

Alderney’s General Services Committee (GSC) is submitting a planning application as it seeks formal permission to demolish the five derelict homes on the south side of the Whitegates site in the interest of public safety.

The Committee wants to ensure the site is earmarked for housing following demolition of the existing building, for which capital expenditure of £125,000 has already been agreed and now requires a planning application to proceed.

An exploratory development scheme for Whitegates has been drawn up to safeguard the development of the site for housing in the future given its designation in the current Land Use Plan. The scheme is not a formal proposal.
