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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION of refusal of Planning Permission

Written report – Author:

Gabrielle Way

Decision(s

Maintain Refusal.

Reason(s) for decision: (As per decision notice)

1. The proposal is considered an unacceptable over development of the site, with inadequate and in accurate information showing the boundary treatment proposed between the dwellings and the parking arrangement which would result in an unreasonable impact on the quality of outside space for both the main house and the new unit, and fails to meet Policy G2 paragraphs (i), (ii) and (vii) of the Jersey Island Plan, 2002.

2. The layout of the inside and outside space, the density, the lack of external light and ventilation and the relationship of the proposal to the existing main dwelling which compromises the external space of the main dwelling are all considered unacceptable and results in a scheme which fails to meet Policy G3 paragraphs (i) and (ii) of the Jersey Island Plan, 2002.

3. The size of the rooms, the layout showing one living room space, a small shower room with no external light or ventilation and the size of the garden are all considered substandard and fail to meet the standards for new residential units set out in Planning Policy Note No. 6 and therefore fails to meet Policy H8 paragraph (i) and (vii).

Action required:

Inform Agent

Signature:

(Minister)

Date of Decision:

28.06.06
