New plans for the Esplanade Quarter
by GD on Tue Apr 15, 2008 1:19 pm
Jersey's Planning Minister will be presenting new plans for the Esplanade Quarter of the Waterfront to the media today.
The past proposals have included a mix of offices, self catering holiday apartments, shops, restaurants and four large public squares.
Developers say it's a key site that will straddle the boundary between the old town and the Waterfront.
The plans include lowering the road near the underpass. The site covers the current Esplanade car park. But there are also proposals for underground car spaces.
Further demise of the "Old Town"

I listened to your debate today on the radio and I could not believe that there were any in detail figures with regard to increases in population and evironmental impact assessments, talk about putting the cart before the horse in Jersey

Don't worry, the horse doesn't have to push the cart, it's being lead by an ass.
I'm in two minds about the Waterfront: I think it's important that it is developed, but I don't think the master plan as loosely proposed is right. It seems odd that at least half the volume of waste that has been put there to reclaim the land is going to be dug out for the below ground level road and parking for one thing.
I'd like to see a high rise Waterfront with more residential bias.
