Little Manor, Grande Route de Faldouet, St. Martin - maintain refusal

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Create new vehicular access.  REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION of refusal of planning permission.

Decision(s):

The Minister decided to maintain the refusal of Planning Permission

Reason(s) for Decision:

A site visit was undertaken on request of the Minister following the Ministerial meeting to evaluate the proposal further. Following this evaluation, the decision to refuse was upheld for the same reason for refusal as given on the Decision Notice. Namely that ‘Notwithstanding the inadequacies of the existing access to Little Manor, the proposed new access is considered to be contrary to Policies G2(vii), (viii), G3 (vi) and G13 since it does not provide a safe means of access and egress to the property and would lead to unacceptable levels of road safety. In addition the loss of the granite boundary wall and creation of a much wider access would affect the character and setting of this and the adjacent Registered buildings’.

 

The Minister recommended that if the entrance was relocated and agreement could be reached with the adjacent neighbour at Les Alpes to lower an adjacent wall to improve visibility into/out of the site, then in those circumstances if a fresh planning application was submitted then permission may be given.
