Item 4 of the minutes of the meeting of the Parish of St Helier's Shadow Conseil Municipal held on 12th February 2020 refers to discussions that took place at that meeting on planning matters between members of the Shadow Conseil and Deputy John Young, Minister for the Environment.

A relevant extract from those minutes states as follows:

"The outcome of the discussions were, the Minister suggested that the Conseil map out what it would like achieve, which would give him and his Officers, the opportunity to consider the matter further. It was put to the Conseil that discussions should take place with the Minister and his team at Parish Officer Level, with possible involvement of members of the Conseil. It is hoped that the parties could report back to the May meeting with some proposals.

This was approved unanimously."
