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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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: Chantemerle, La Rue du Puits Mahaut, , Grouville, , Change of use of land to domestic curtilage. REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION of refusal of planning permission.
Decision(s): At the Ministerial Meeting of 30 January 2009 the Minister heard a Request for Reconsideration in relation to application reference P/2007/2865. At that meeting, the Minister indicated he was minded to support the Request for Reconsideration but deferred his decision to enable clarification of the site history. Following consideration of the history, the Minister has resolved to refuse the Request for Reconsideration as being contrary to Policy C6 of the Jersey Island Plan 2002. However, the Minister also decided that particular evidence brought in this case meant that the land could historically be considered as a garden. Whilst the Minister acknowledged that the provisions of the Planning and Building (General Development) (Jersey) Order 2008 would not apply to this land, he confirmed that he would be minded to approve an application for a swimming pool if the applicant was to submit such an application.
Reason(s) for Decision: Permission has been refused as the proposal is contrary to Policy C6 of the Jersey Island Plan 2002 which establishes a presumption against such development within the Countryside Zone.
