Field 444, Aigremont Farm, 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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Richard Glover

Decision:

Maintain refusal

Reason(s) for decision:

1. The site lies witin the countryside Zone as identified by the Island Plan 2002 and within this area there is a general presumption against developement other than that identified by Policy C6 of the Plan. This proposal is not identified as being appropriate within the Countryside Zone and as such would cause inappropriate harm to the character and openess of the Zone.

2. The proposed development would result in new-build tourist accommodation within the Countryside Zone contrary to Policy TR1 of the Island Plan 2002 which allows only for the conversion or extension of existing buildings to accommodate tourism in such areas so as to protect the character of those areas.

3. The proposed buildings do not reflect any vernacular characteristics of the Island of Jersey nor do they have any regard to their surroundings in terms of form, mass, height or materials. As such the proposals are contrary to the Minister for Planning and Environment’s Design Principles.
