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

La Rive House, La Valle de Rozel, St. Martin - approval with 1 condition

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.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

Written report – Author:

Tim Furmidge

Decision(s)

Approval – with 1 condition.

Condition

The concrete retaining walls for the new swimming pool hereby approved shall be faced in pink granite and be maintained in this condition thereafter.

Reason

To ensure that the new development is sympathetic in appearance to safeguard the visual amenities of the area.

Reason(s) for decision:

It was felt that a condition could be imposed after having regard for the comments set out by the agent that the decision was harsh and the applicants could have been given an opportunity for a landscaping scheme to be submitted to make the scheme more acceptable. A condition was imposed to face both the retaining walls in granite, as the comments made by the agent were considered reasonable in this case to overcome the reason for refusal. This achieved a more acceptable scheme which meant that the proposal would be more in keeping and less intrusive and, would therefore, no longer be considered to result in a development which would be prominent and visually harmful to the character of the Green Zone.

Action required:

Planning permit to be sent out and conditioned accordingly. (Permit sent out 22nd January 2007.)

Signature:

(Minister)

Date of Decision:

19.01.07
