Sovereign Hire Car Site, 14 Havre des Pas, St Helier: Appeal Decision P/2021/0294

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

A decision made on 30 May 2022

Decision Reference:  MD-ENV-2022-408

Public

Subject: Appeal Decision: P/2021/0294 (Sovereign Hire Car Site, 14 Havre des Pas, St Helier)

 

Report Title: Inspector’s Report: P/2021/0294 (Sovereign Hire Car Site, 14 Havre des Pas, St Helier)

Public

Decision(s):

The Minister, in line with the recommendations of the Planning Inspector, decided to dismiss an appeal against a refusal to grant planning permission (application P/2021/0294 refers) in relation to the property Sovereign Hire Car Site, 14 Havre des Pas, St Helier, and confirmed the initial decision to refuse planning permission.

Reason for Decision(s):

The Minister agreed with the recommendations of the Planning Inspector.  The Minister also had regard to the fact that the original decision on the planning permission and subsequent inspector’s report was made under the policy regime of the 2011 Island Plan (revised 2014) which was superseded by the bridging Island Plan on 25 March 2022. However, the Minister did not consider that the change in development plans made any material difference, in this instance, to the assessment of the proposed development.

Resource Implications: There are no new financial and/or manpower implications.
