PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT
Register as a Building of Local Interest
Fauvic Farm, Rue de Fauvic, Grouville
Purpose of the Report
To seek to confirm the Minister’s intention to review the registration of Fauvic Farm, Rue de Fauvic, Grouville and to add it to the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey as a Building of Local Interest (BLI).
Background and discussion
The Minister previously considered a report on the matter prepared by Jersey Heritage dated 12 June 2008 and determined that this building and place was of sufficient interest to warrant its addition to the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey as a BLI. In so doing the Minister noted that the property was already registered as a proposed Site of Special Interest. A notice of the Minister’s intent to add this site to the Register as a BLI was served on the owner of the property on 11 August 2008 in order to provide an opportunity for representations to be made.
A late representation was received on 11 September 2008 which does not raise objection to the principle of the proposed designation, but questions the architectural and historical significance of the outbuildings on the site. This matter will be addressed orally at the Minister’s meeting.
Legal and resource implications
The inclusion of buildings and places in the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey is consistent with the purposes of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002.
Recommendation
On the basis of the recommendation of Jersey Heritage to add Fauvic Farm, Rue de Fauvic, Grouville to the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey as a Building of Local Interest, the Minister is further recommended to confirm the addition of this building and place to the Register as a BLI.
Reason(s) for Decision
The particular interest of Fauvic Farm, Rue de Fauvic, Grouville, as identified and described in the report and relative to the published criteria for selection, justifies its inclusion on Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey as a BLI, and;
It accords with the States Strategic Plan commitment of protecting and sympathetically managing the Island’s built heritage assets.
