The Cottage, Boulivot Farm, La Vieille Rue, Grouville - potential listing of building

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

WR Status:

Oral Rapporteur:

Assistant Director: Policy and Projects / Head of Historic Buildings (Jersey Heritage)

Decision(s):

The Minister for Planning and Environment resolved to confirm the designation of this building and place as a potential Listed Building pending the resurvey of the farm group and a formal process of re-designation under the provisions of Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002.

Reason(s) for Decision:

  1. The interest of The Cottage, Boulivot Farm, La Vieille Rue, Grouville, as defined in the report and relative to the published criteria for selection, justifies its retention as a designated heritage asset in accordance with the provisions and purposes of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 and;
  2. It accords with the States Strategic Plan commitment of protecting and sympathetically managing the Island’s built heritage assets.

Legal and Resource Implications:

  1. As a result of the Minister’s changes to the historic environment protection regime, a new system of designation for heritage assets is in place from 2011. This means that this property should now be considered under the auspices of the new historic environment protection regime which seeks to consolidate designations under one single category of designation (Listed Buildings and Places) in accord with the provisions of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002.
  2. In the case of all former Buildings of Local Interest, these properties will fall to be designated as potential Listed Buildings pending a review of their heritage value as part of an all-Island Historic Environment Resurvey which will involve, where appropriate, an assignment of a non-statutory grade and a formal designation process in accord with the requirements of the law.
  3. Article 51(2)(b) of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 enables the Minister to include on a List those buildings and places that the Minister is satisfied has public importance by reason of the special archaeological, architectural, artistic, historical, scientific or traditional interest that attached to the building or place.

Action required:

  1.                 Notify the owner and other interested parties
  2.                 Update the List
  3.                 Notify Development Control
