Request

My questions relate to the Old Jersey Airport Arrivals and Departure Building.

I would like to see all correspondence and reports relating to the demolition of the building on safety grounds over the last five years. These will include all documents between the Airport and Government Authorities and the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the Directors of Civil Aviation for the Channel Islands.

Response

The decision to demolish the Jersey Airports Arrival and Departure building has been rescinded. Further information can be found on www.gov.je using the following link.

We have searched our planning files and have provided documents from over the last five years relating to the demolition of the building.

However, we have not included information that is already accessible in the planning register for application P/2010/1729 as this is exempt under Article 23. These can be accessed on www.gov.je using the following link:
