East Cheam, Broadway, La Petit Route des Mielles, St. Brelade - Approval of Application at Ministerial Hearing

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Construct porch, utility room and sunroom. Construct dormer on the South elevation. Refurbish existing dormer on North elevation. Block up existing windows on East & West elevations. REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION of refusal of planning permission.

Decision(s):

Allow the Request for Reconsideration, approving application P/2010/1673 contrary to the Departments recommendation.

The application was considered by Planning Application Panel on 24 March 2011 as a Request For Reconsideration. The Panel maintained refusal, as per the officer recommendation. However, the Panel was not properly constituted at that meeting. The application was subsequently considered by the Assistant Minister for Planning at a Ministerial Hearing held on13 May 2011 and the application was approved.

Reason(s) for Decision:

The proposed development is considered to be acceptable by the Assistant Minister having considered all of the material considerations raised. In particular, the development has been assessed against policy G2 of the 2002 Island Plan, in which development must not have an unreasonable impact upon neighbouring uses and the local environment by reason of visual intrusion or other amenity considerations. In this case, the proposed extension is regarded as acceptable because neighbouring property to the rear, 1 South Close, already suffers from overlooking from an adjoining property and this proposal would not materially worsen the situation.

Resource Implications:
