The Bath Street scheme, put forward by commercial property company Le Masurier, has already received backing from St Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft and is likely to be officially submitted to the Planning Department within weeks.
If given the go-ahead, the project would provide the second Premier Inn in the Island after the hotel chain opened at Charing Cross last year.
The plans also include 145 one- and two-bedroom flats designed to help ease the Island’s growing housing crisis.
The plans also feature:
– New shops, bars and restaurants.
– A new pedestrianised street connecting the Millennium Town Park to the Jersey Library.
– Green spaces in courtyards within the new housing development.
– Pavement widening.
The scheme would create at least 100 new jobs – 70 in construction and a further 35 at the Premier Inn. It is also estimated that the new hotel would be able to accommodate around 40,000 overnight stays per year – potentially adding £1.6 million in visitor spend to the economy.
Developers Le Masurier hope that if the plans are approved, work would start in January and be finished by 2022.
