L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

Field 141, Rue des Niemes, St. Peter - maintain refusal

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Written Report

Title:

Request for re-consideration of Refusal of Planning Permission

Written report – Author:

Lawrence Davies

Decision(s):

Maintain refusal of planning permission

Reason(s) for decision:

The Minister recognised that, on occasions such as this, where the land is evidently unviable from an agricultural perspective (given the recent changes within that industry) and might otherwise become neglected, there is a solid argument to be made for permitting applications of this nature. Accordingly, it is likely that this issue will be addressed as part of the forthcoming review of the Island Plan policies.

Until such time, however, this application remains contrary to policy.

Action required:

Case officer to inform applicant of decision

Signature:

(Minister)

Date of Decision:

19.01.07
