St. Aubin's House, Le Mont du Boulevard, St. Brelade: Historic Buildings Register: No intention to List

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

File ref: BR0096

 

 

Current status

 

Currently unregistered.

 

Relevant interests of the site

 

Historic interest

 

Late 19th century villa.

 

Architectural interest

 

The core of the property is a late 19th century stucco house with emphasised quoins and voussoirs, and round-headed windows facing the sea. However, the house has been subject to extensive late 20th century alterations, extensions and embellishments - both to the roadside and seaside - which have impacted on its historic character .

 

Advice offered by MRLAG (and others if stated)

 

MRLAG discussed the building at its meeting on 6 April 2009. 8 members advised against registration due to the 20th century alterations and extensions. 6 members advised that registration as BLI would be appropriate as the house has a roadside elevation as a late 19th century villa and is in a location of particular scenic value.

 

Jersey Heritage recommendation

 

The house has been subject to extensive late 20th century alterations, extensions and embellishments, and as such does not meet the criteria for registration.

 

Justification relating to criteria

 

The registration of St Aubin’s House would not be in accordance with the existing criteria for assessment and designation of historic buildings, as the property does not substantially retain its historic form and detail, and does not make a significant or positive contribution to the architectural and historical identity, character or amenity of Jersey.
