Planning Applications Panel: Appointment of Members

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

The Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 provides that there should be a Planning Applications Panel comprising up to 9 States Members; and that its members will be appointed by the States on the nomination of the Minister for Planning and Environment. Following the appointment the Deputy of St Peter’s as Assistant Minister – Planning and the Built Environment there is a post to fill on the Panel. I am delighted to nominate Senator Francis du Heaume Le Gresley M.B.E for membership of the Panel. The extensive experience he has brought to the Chamber will be equally invaluable to the Planning Applications Panel.

 

I would also like to re-confirm the existing Membership of the Panel until the end of 2011. The existing members of the Panel are the Connétable of Trinity (Chairman), the Connétables of St. Mary, St. Saviour and St John, Deputies P. Le Claire of St. Helier and J. Maçon of St. Saviour.

 

Please note that the Law allows for nominations only to be made by the Minister. If the States reject these nominations, the Minister can nominate another States member, and so on, until the vacancies are filled.

 

There are no financial or manpower implications arising from this proposal.
