Flaxby-based modular housing developer Ilke Homes could manufacture 332 homes for a new housing scheme in Guernsey.

They would be built at Ilke’s factory and transported to Guernsey to be constructed on-site.

The Channel Islands Co-operative submitted plans for the development this week and include a car park and supermarket.

Nigel Banks, special projects manager for Ilke Homes, told the BBC:

“We have focussed on having homes that are very well insulated, they are also built using very sustainable materials – we have a big focus on having low emissions to the structures.

“The floors are manufactured then put on a trailer and transported to a harbour, then put on a charter vessel and then transported at night to the location.”
