Fellow co-founder Simon Bone said planning fees could cost "tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds" increasing the risk for property owners.More news stories for GuernseyListen to the latest news for GuernseyMr Brock, an architect, said he hoped it would allow more landowners to explore developing their sites.The firm said the proposed eight-storey apartment development would fit with the "industrial character" of the area.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.Follow BBC Guernsey on X and Facebook and Instagram.
