Information about the publication of Ministerial Decisions

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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: Edgefield shed and greenacre, La Route de Vinchelez, St. Ouen, JE3 2DB Demolish existing shed. Construct new shed and 2 No. 3 bed houses.
Decision(s): To refuse the aforementioned planning application for the reason as stated below. The application was discussed in a meeting within the department on the 28 July 2010 and discussed further and determined by the Assistant Minister on 10 August 2010.
Reason(s) for Decision: The Reason for Refusal is as the department recommendation and is as follows: 1. On the approved 2002 Island Plan, the application site is located in the Green Zone. Under Island Plan Policy C5 there is a general presumption against new residential development being permitted in this zone unless essentially required in connection with agriculture. This application proposal is for the construction of two houses unconnected with agriculture which considering the circumstances of this case, is not an acceptable form of development within the Green Zone and will unreasonably harm the visually sensitive character of the Green Zone. As such the proposal is contrary to Island Plan Policy C5 and is also contrary to Policy G2 (i) (General Development Considerations).
