Sites of Special Interest - Amendments to list

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Amendment of the List of Sites of Special Interest.

Subject:

Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance: Amendment of the List of Sites of Special Interest

Decision ref:

MD-PE-2007-0037

Exempt clause(s):

None

Type of report:

Written and oral

Report file ref:

3/04/02/1

Person giving report (if oral): Curator of Historic Buildings - Jersey Heritage Trust

Written report – author: Curator of Historic Buildings - Jersey Heritage Trust

Written Report Title: Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance: Amendment of the List of Sites of Special Interest

Decision(s): The Minister for Planning and Environment resolved to:

· remove all of the properties, identified in the table contained within the report from the List of Sites of Special Interest to give effect to the earlier decision of the Jersey Building Heritage Sub-Committee;

· either retain the buildings on the Historic Buildings Register as BLIs or remove the buildings from the Register, as set out in the table contained within the report, in accordance with Sub-Committee’s decision;

· authorise officers to prepare the requisite Notices of Intent to give effect to the Minister’s resolution.

Reason(s) for decision: None of the buildings have sufficient special interest to meet the published criteria for Listing as Sites of Special Interest.

The registration of certain buildings as BLIs is in accordance with Interim Policy HB1 which states ‘Historic buildings which contribute positively to the distinctive character or appearance of Jersey’s built-up areas or countryside, particularly where they are of ‘group value’, will be identified and included in the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey.’

The buildings to be removed from the Register retain insufficient architectural or historical merit to satisfy the criteria for registration.

Action required:

Notices of Intent to be prepared to give effect to the Minister’s decision

Signature:

(Minister/ Assistant Minister)

Date of Decision:
