List as a Site of Special Interest
Rozel Mill, La Rue du Moulin, St Martin
Purpose of the Report
The purpose of this report is for the Minister for Planning and Environment to consider the retention of Rozel Mill, La Rue du Moulin, St Martin on the List of Sites of Special Interest.
Background and discussion
The sale of Rozel Mill has recently been authorised by Assistant Minister for Treasury and Resources, Deputy John Le Fondré on behalf of the Public of the Island. At the time of sale, the building was registered as a proposed Site of Special Interest. Concern was expressed to the department that the sale of the building, without full SSI protection, might render it at risk of damage and, as a result, the Minister for Planning and Environment authorised the building to be provisionally added to the List of Sites of Special Interest on 08 April 2009.
Notice was duly served on the new owner of the building the owner providing opportunity for representations to be received. None have been received from the owner of the building, but two have been received from interested parties supporting the permanent addition of the building to the List of Sites of Special Interest because of its heritage value (attached at appendix 1).
The building has been assessed by Jersey Heritage and its report, including the views of the Ministerial Registration and Listing Advisory Group, is attached at appendix 2, together with the schedule and plan of the site (at appendix 3).
Recommendation
On the basis of the above, Jersey Heritage recommend that this building should maintained on the List of Sites of Special Interest on the basis of its architectural, archaeological and historical interest, in accordance with criteria for designation.
Reason(s) for Decision
The retention of Rozel Mill, La Rue du Moulin, St Martin as a Site of Special Interest is in accordance with the criteria for assessment and designation on account of its architectural and historical interest.
Legal and resource implications
Article 52(2)(b) of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 enables the Minister to include on the List of Sites of Special Interest, those buildings and places that the Minister is satisfied has public importance by reason of the special archaeological, architectural, artistic, historical, scientific or traditional interest that attaches to the building or place.
