Ann Court Site, St. Helier: Disposal to Andium Homes

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision(s):

 

  1. With reference to the previous decision MD-PH-2015-0053 plus associated documentation and the expiry of 15 working days’ notice to the States of that decision, the Minister approved, as recommended by Jersey Property Holdings, to dispose of the former Ann Court site to Andium Homes for residential development.

 

  1. The Minister approved the terms of the Preliminary Development Agreement and authorised the Director of Estates to sign the agreement on behalf of the Public.

Reason for Decision:

 

The transaction was notified to the States in a report dated 14 May 2015. During the 15 minimum working day period following the signing of the ‘in principle’ Ministerial Decision (MD-PH-2015-0053) Deputy Le Fondré raised a number of queries regarding the proposal.

It is considered that the Deputy’s concerns have been addressed and that there is no reason to delay progressing the disposal and subsequent development.  The Minister therefore decided to conclude the transaction.

Resource Implications:

 

  1. The financial implications of this decision are detailed in the report accompanying MD-PH-2015-0053.

 

  1. There are no manpower implications in respect of this decision.

 

  1. When the transaction is concluded the fixed asset register and States balance sheet will be amended to account for the transaction.

Action required:

 

Under Standing Order 168 (5) the Minister hereby authorised the Attorney General and the Greffier to pass any contract which is required to be passed on behalf of the Public and to copy this decision to the Assistant Minister, Treasurer and Head of Decision Support.

 

The Director of Estates to sign the Preliminary Development Agreement on behalf of the Public.
