On behalf of our client Comprop (C.I.) Ltd, BAS Mooarc submitted a planning application for the former Guernsey Brewery site in December 2011. The Redevelopment of the former Bucktrouts Brewery and surrounding site, offers a compelling community, civic and architectural opportunity. The proposals include the following:

• A master plan for the whole site including significant improvements to the public realm and seafront walk.

• Retention of the familiar form and character of the existing ‘Old Brewery’ Building through faithful reconstruction and retention of important features.

• Residential development comprising 37 units of accommodation with associated covered, secure car parking. The units are distributed between the front site fronting South Esplanade and the rear site running along The Strand.

A public exhibition was held last month at Les Cotils, which provided an opportunity for the public to review the proposals in more detail and to discuss issues directly with key members of the design and client team.

The Environment Department are currently reviewing the proposals and consulting with interested parties.
