L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

Field 52 and Field 1566, Rue de la Golarde, St. Lawrence - in principle permission granted

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Create new farm, including stable type animal infrastructure and orchard. Single storey, 2 bed dormer cottage on Field 1566. RE-ADVERTISED:Amended Description

Written report – Author:

Anthony Farman

Decision(s

Planning permission in principle granted to construct stable type animal infrastructure in Field 1566 and form access across Field 53 and Field 1566.

Dwelling approved in principle subject to the demonstration that the following tests can be met:

  1. That a minimum £40,000 gross margin for the business is reached
  1. That it is demonstrated that the margin can be maintained for 3 years by a sustainable business plan
  1. That a minimum of 50% of the threshold must be derived from sheep or other agricultural activities where best practice demonstrates need for a dwelling on the site of the farming operation.

The dwelling will be no more than 120 sq mt and constructed of granite and of traditional design

Reason(s) for decision:

To maintain the balance between providing an agricultural dwelling that is genuinely essential in accordance with Policy C17 and preventing other similar but non-essential developments that would harm the character of the countryside contrary to the provisions of the Jersey Island Plan, 2002.
