Building Bye-Laws (Jersey) 2007: Approved Schemes for Certifiable Building Work (2014 Edition)

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Proposed amendments to the Approved Schemes for Certifiable Building Work.

 

 

 

Introduction.

Bye-law 15 of the building bye-laws (Jersey) 2007, as amended, allows for specified types of building work to be undertaken by persons registered under an ‘appropriate approved scheme’ without the need to obtain a building permit. This report outlines proposed changes to the current list of ‘appropriate approved schemes’.

 

Proposed amendments.

The main changes are:

  1. To update the list of approved schemes to take account of changes to the names of the scheme providers since the list was first published.
  2. To extend the scope of work permitted to be undertaken by some of the scheme providers.

 

Full details of the proposed changes are listed in the document: Building Bye-laws (Jersey) 2007 –

Approved Schemes for Certifiable Building Work – 2014 Edition.

Legal and resource implications

The proposed amendments involve relatively minor changes to the current provisions and as such there will be no departmental resource implications arising from the amendments.

 

Recommendation

The Minister:

  1. Approves and publishes the document entitled Approved Schemes for Certifiable Building Work - 2014 Edition.

Director – Building Control
