Planning and Environment: Jersey Heritage Trust Service Level Agreement

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision(s):

The Minister for Planning and Environment noted and endorsed the Service Level Agreement with Jersey Heritage Trust for 2014.

Reason(s) for Decision:

The Service Level Agreement with Jersey Heritage Trust enables the provision of wholly impartial and more robust advice about the identification and designation of the Island’s heritage assets.

The relationship with the Trust, through the SLA, delivers added and better value relative to the objectives of both organisations in relation to the protection, management and promotion of the Island’s historic environment

Legal and Resource Implications:

Under the provisions of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002, the Minister may consult with any person having ‘special knowledge’ of a particular building or site, before including it in the List of Sites of Special Interest.

The SLA with the JHT provides the Minister with a primary source of objective professional advice.

Provision is made within the Environment Department’s annual budget, to meet the costs of the SLA.
