List as a Site of Special Interest
16 Hill Street, St Helier
Purpose of the Report
To seek to confirm the Minister’s intention to add 16 Hill Street, St Helier to the List of Sites of Special Interest.
Background and discussion
The Minister previously considered a report on the matter prepared by Jersey Heritage dated 01 December 2008 and determined that this building and place was of sufficient interest to warrant its addition to the List of Sites of Special Interest. A notice of Minister’s intent to add this site to the List was served on the owner of the property on 23 February 2009 in order to provide an opportunity for representations to be made.
No representations have been received.
Legal and resource implications
Article 51(2)(b) of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 enables the Minister to include on the List of Sites of Special Interest those buildings and places that the Minister is satisfied has public importance by reason of the special archaeological, architectural, artistic, historical, scientific or traditional interest that attached to the building or place.
Recommendation
On the basis of the recommendation of Jersey Heritage to add 16 Hill Street, St Helier to the List of SSIs because of its special architectural and historical interest and in the absence of any representations, the Minister is further recommended to confirm the addition of this building and place to the List.
Reason(s) for Decision
The special interest of 16 Hill Street, St Helier, as defined and in the schedule and relative to the published criteria for selection, justifies its inclusion on the List of Sites of Special Interest in accordance with the provisions and purposes of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 and;
It accords with the States Strategic Plan commitment of protecting and sympathetically managing the Island’s built heritage assets.
