SSI's - Le Dolmen du Couperon, St. Martin - Le Dolmen du Mont Ube, St. Clement

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Oral Rapporteur:

Decision(s):

The Minister for Planning and Environment added these sites, based on the extent of land delineated in the schedules and associated plans, to the List of Sites of Special Interest:

  1. Le Dolmen du Couperon, St Martin;
  2. Le Dolmen du Mont Ube, St Clement;

Whilst the Minister for Planning and Environment was minded to List the following as a Site of Special Interest, he did not accept the recommendation of Jersey Heritage with regard to the boundary of the site and sought its amendment to exclude that building embraced by the designation at its southern edge, and the reserving of Notice.

  1. La Hougue Boete, St John.

Reason(s) for Decision:

  1. The decision gives formal effect to that made in February 2008 (see MD-PE-2008-0031);
  2. The special interest of these sites, as defined and in the respective schedules and relative to the published criteria for selection, justifies their inclusion on the List of Sites of Special Interest in accordance with the provisions and purposes of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 and;
  3. It accords with the States Strategic Plan commitment of protecting and sympathetically managing the Island’s built heritage assets.

Legal and Resource Implications:

Article 51(2)(b) of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 enables the Minister to include on the List of Sites of Special Interest those buildings and places that the Minister is satisfied has public importance by reason of the special archaeological, architectural, artistic, historical, scientific or traditional interest that attached to the building or place.

Action required:

  1. Notify the owner and those making representations
  2. Update the List of Sites of Special Interest
  3. Notify Development Control and Environment Department;
  1. Reserve Notice to interested parties in relation to La Hougue Boete, St John
