L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

St. Aubin's Cafe, La Neuve Route, St. Brelade - maintain refusal of planning permission

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Title:

REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION of refusal of Planning Permission

Written report – Author:

Gabrielle Way

Decision(s

Maintaining Refusal of planning permission.

Reason(s) for decision:

1. The proposed extension to the timber conservatory, by virtue of its design, scale and position, is considered to result in an insensitive relationship with this modest blockwork building, and is therefore considered to cause unacceptable harm to its character, contrary to Paragraph (i) of Policy G2 and Paragraph (ii) and (iii) of Policy G3, of the Jersey Island Plan, 2002.

2. The timber conservatory extension results in development which obstructs public views to the foreshore and the sea, and is therefore contrary to Policy BE11- Shoreline Zone, of the Jersey Island Plan, 2002.

Action required:

Advise Agent/Applicant and offer further advice: that subject to good design the Department would consider a more temporary style canvas option, but that this should blend appropriately with the existing extension.

Signature:

(Minister)

Date of Decision:

31st May 2006
