St Peters School - revised planning application

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject:

St Peter’s School - Revised Planning Application

Exempt Clause:

n/a

Date:

22 August 2006

 

 

Author:

Anthony Norman - Capital Projects Manager

1. Introduction

The purpose of this report is to ask the Minister to formally approve and sign the Revised Planning Application in respect of the redevelopment of St Peter’s School.

2. Background

On the 2nd February 2006 the Minister approved the original plans to redevelop St Peter’s School by virtue of signing Ministerial Decision MD-ESC-2006-0010 and the associated Planning Application Form.

Since then the Department for Environment and Public Services (Design and Conservation Section) have raised a number of concerns with regard to the proximity of the new school building to the existing 1862 school building and the ‘blandness’ of it’s main roadside elevation as seen from La Rue De L’Eglise.

3. Revised Planning Application

The current revised Planning Application incorporates the following key amendments which have resulted form consultation with the Planning Department:

· The area of building / corridor linking the new school building to the existing has been extended to maintain the historic and architectural prominence of the existing 1862 building.

· The main school entrance has been repositioned from the West facing elevation to the North facing elevation.

· The height of the hall has been increased to make it more prominent along the roadside elevation.

· The roof coverings have been changed from slate to a continuous metal system to give more prominence to the existing 1862 building. The change in specification has also allowed the pitch of the roof to be lowered to again reduce the impact of the new building on the old.

4. Budget

A revised cost plan (No. 2 dated 15.08.06) confirms the revised scheme remains within the agreed budget.

There are no additional application fees associated with the revised application.

5. Programme

The current target programme stands as follows:

Revised Planning Application : End August 06

Building bye-law approval : End of September 06

Contract start : March / April 07

Contract Period : 5 Months

Contract completion : June / July 2008

6. Recommendation

It is recommended that the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture:

a) approves and signs the attached the revised Planning Application.

b) approves and signs the attached the ‘Decision Summary Template’.
