Fellow co-founder Simon Bone said planning fees could cost &#8220;tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds&#8221; increasing the risk for property owners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">Mr Brock, an architect, said he hoped it would allow more landowners to explore developing their sites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">The firm said the proposed eight-storey apartment development would fit with the &#8220;industrial character&#8221; of the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 hxuGS\">At 33m (108ft), it would be lower than several other local buildings including the power station chimney, ridge of Vale Castle and the cranes in the harbour, it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A firm is seeking planning approval to build an eight-storey complex of 12 flats in north Guernsey.
