Field 846B, Ruelle Corbel, St. Lawrence - grant 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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Written Report

Title:

Construct a single storey dwelling at Field 846B, Ruelle Corbel, St Lawrence

Written report – Author:

Richard Glover

Decision(s

Notwithstanding the report presented at the Ministerial Hearing the particular circumstances of the applicant gave rise to the Minister supporting the application. In particular the disability of the applicants’ child and the evident long term needs as the child grows into adulthood give rise to a situation that needs to be considered and addressed in the context of the next 20 to 30 years at least. These circumstances along with the limited impact the dwelling would have on the area, being located close to the existing settlement boundary, lead to support for the proposal subject to an appropriate design and materials being achieved in the context of the design requirements of the dwelling.

The fee for the application should be refunded and any subsequent full application would not attract a fee.

 

Reason(s) for decision: 

The particular long term needs of the applicants’ family and the discreet location of the dwelling establish a set of circumstances that allow the setting aside of the Policies of the Island Plan.

Action required:

Issue decision notice with conditions normally attached to an outline permission, controlling the submission of reserved matters.  Advise other interested parties

Signature:

 

 

(Minister)

Date of Decision:

 

13 July 2007
