Planning and Environment (2011 Fees) (Jersey) Order 2011

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

  2. a new method of charging for residential development, in respect of Planning Applications, where the charge will be based on the area of the building rather than per unit.

Jersey Crest

Planning and Environment (2011 Fees) (Jersey) Order 201-

Explanatory Note

This Order increases fees under the following enactments –

Animal Welfare (Licence Fee) (Jersey) Order 2008

Dangerous Wild Animals (Jersey) Law 1999

Artificial Insemination of Domestic Animals (Jersey) Law 1952

High Hedges (Application Fee) (Jersey) Order 2008

Waste Management (Fees) (Jersey) Order 2008

Planning and Building (Fees) (Jersey) Order 2008.

 

The increases are the first since 1st January 2010. The increases generally are around 2.5%.

However, the basis of calculation of the Schedule 1 fees for planning permission, and the Schedule 2 fees for building permission, for the creation of new flats and new dwelling houses has been recast and so those fees are not strictly comparable with the current fees.

Furthermore, certain planning and building fees will not change, notably in the area of certain modifications of existing structures.

 

The Order was made on     and comes into force     .
