1 - 2 Victoria Court, St. Saviour: Planning Application (P/2016/0457): Appeal Decision

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject:

Appeal under Article 108 of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 against a refusal to grant planning permission at   1-2 Victoria Court, St Saviour. JE2 7QB         (P/2016/0457)

Decision:

The Minister dismissed the appeal under Article 116 of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 in respect of the following development; “Demolish 2 No. flats. Construct 3 No. three bed dwellings” and refused planning permission for the following reasons:-

 

1. The proposed location of the new designated parking spaces which utilise the parcel of land to the south/west corner of the application site, will, given the close proximity of existing residential properties at Victoria Park Terraces to the west; Victoria Court to the south and Victoria Road to the north, result in the loss of, mature landscaping to those boundaries. In addition, the car parking area will result in a detriment to the residential amenities of the occupants of those properties by virtue of increased noise, pollution and general disturbance. Accordingly, the proposals will be contrary to Polices, GD1, GD3 & H6 of the Adopted Island Plan, 2011: Revised (2014).

 

2. The location of the visitor car parking space, located on the access road into the car parking area and proposed tandem car parking arrangements will be restrictive in terms of suitable vehicular manoeuvrability within the site contrary to Policies GD1, GD3 & H6 of the Adopted Island Plan, 2011: Revised (2014).

 

Reason(s) for Decision:

The Minister agreed with the recommendation of the Inspector as detailed within her report dated 6 March 2017.

Resource Implications:-

None
