Flat 1, 5 Belgreve Terrace, Dicq Road, St. Saviour: Planning Application (P/2017/1746): Appeal Decision

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject:

Appeal under Article 108 of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 against a refusal to grant retrospective planning permission at Flat 1, 5 Belgreve Terrace, Dicq Road, St Saviour. (P/2017/1746)

Decision:

The Minister dismissed the appeal under Article 116 of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 in respect of the following development; “Remove existing conservatory to North elevation. Replace 1 No. window with 1 No. pvcu window and construct conservatory to North elevation. Replace 1 No. bay window with 1 No. timber bay window to South elevation” and varied the original decision to refuse planning permission.

 

The planning permission is refused for the following reasons:

 

1.       No justification to support the removal of the historic bay window has been provided and the loss of this historic feature fails to preserve or enhance the special interest of this protected building. The detailing of the replacement bay window does not carefully replicate the historic detail or appearance of the original. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies SP 4, HE 1, HE 2, BE 6 and GD 1 of the adopted Island Plan 2011 (Revised 2014) and Supplementary Planning Guidance, Planning Policy Note 2, Windows and Doors in Historic Buildings (2008).

 

2.        The addition of the white uPVC framed conservatory and replacement white uPVC window to the rear of this property are inappropriate and unsympathetic additions and alterations which fail to preserve or enhance this Listed building’s appearance and special qualities. As such, the proposal is contrary to policies SP 4, HE 1, BE 6 and GD 1 of the adopted Island Plan 2011 (Revised 2014), which seek to protect Jersey’s heritage from harmful and inappropriate development.

 

Reason for Decision:

The Minister agreed with the recommendation of the Inspector.

Resource Implications:-

None

Action required:
