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

Le Bouillon, Rue des Landes, St. Brelade - retain as Building of Local Interest and upgrade outbuilding to Site of Special Interest

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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 (26.06.07) to retain Le Bouillon, Rue des Landes, St. Brelade as a Building of Local Interest and to upgrade an outbuilding as a Site of Special Interest.

Subject:

Le Bouillon, La Rue des Landes, St. Brelade

Decision ref:

MD-PE-2007-0140

Exempt clause(s):

None

Type of report:

Written and oral

Report file ref:

BR0062

Person giving report (if oral): Roger Hills, Curator of Historic Buildings, JHT

Written report – author: Roger Hills, Curator of Historic Buildings, JHT

Written Report Title: Assessment of Le Bouillon, La Rue des Landes, St. Brelade

Decision(s): The Minister for Planning and Environment determined that;

· the farm group at Le Bouillon should be retained on the Register as a Building of Local Interest;

· the 2-storey, C18 outbuilding in the north range should be upgraded to a proposed Site of Special Interest;

· Notice of Intent to List as an SSI the C18 outbuilding should be progressed

Reason(s) for decision:

The registration of the farm group at Le Bouillon is in accordance with Interim Policy HB1 which states ‘Historic buildings which contribute positively to the distinctive character or appearance of Jersey’s built-up areas or countryside, particularly where they are of ‘group value’, will be identified and included in the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey.’

There are internal features of interest such as the surviving historic plan form and staircase but it is proposed that the buildings at Le Bouillon (with the exception of the C18 outbuilding in the north range) do not meet the requirement of para 6.1 of the Interim Policies that states ‘The essential criterion for the designation of an historic building as a Site of Special interest is that its special interest extends substantially to its authentic fabric, plan form, interior features, or historical associations of the interior’.

The C18 outbuilding in the north range meets the requirement of para 6.1 of the Interim Policies and satisfies the published criteria for registration as a pSSI in accordance with Interim Policy HB2 which states ‘Designation of buildings of architectural or historical importance as Sites of Special Interest will normally be limited to those whose authentic fabric, plan form, interior features or historical associations of the interior contribute to their special interest

Action required:

· Amend the Historic Buildings Register

· Notify the owner

· Notify Development Control

· Progress Listing as an SSI in relation to C18 outbuilding

(Minister/ Assistant Minister)
