Increase alfresco area - Cafe Toulouse.

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Written Report

Title:

Request for an increase in area of alfresco at Café Toulouse, Broad Street

Written report – Author:

D.St.George

Decision(s): An increase in area from 11 four seater tables to 16, will be allowed (subject to Planning permission) on a trial basis for one year.

Reason(s) for decision: Alfresco areas help create a pleasant atmosphere in the town centre, and the proposed increase will aid the new operator in providing a successful business from the converted toilet building. However there is a concern that the resultant reduction in public open space could be contrary to the concept of the original improvement scheme, hence consent is granted on the basis of one year only, to be reviewed.

Action required:

Inform the Connétable, so that he may issue a licence under the Chose Publique (Jersey) Law 1993.

Signature:

(Minister/ Assistant Minister)

Date of Decision:

30 June 2006
