PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT
Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance
Metropole Hotel (C19th house), Roseville Street, St Helier
Purpose of the Report
To seek to confirm the intention to remove the Metropole Hotel (C19th house), Roseville Street, St Helier as a Building of Local Interest (BLI) from the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey.
Background and discussion
A representation has been received on behalf of the owners of this building requesting that it be removed from the Register on the grounds that its architectural and historic interest has now diminished (representation at appendix 1).
The Minister previously considered a report on the matter prepared by Jersey Heritage dated 16 March 2009 and determined that the Metropole Hotel (C19th house), Roseville Street, St Helier was not of sufficient interest to warrant its retention on the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey as a Building of Local Interest. Notice of the Minister’s intent was served on the owners of the property on 08 April 2009 in order to provide an opportunity for representations to be made.
No representations have been received in relation to the intention to remove the Metropole Hotel (C19th house), Roseville Street, St Helier from the Register.
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
The recommendation of Jersey Heritage is to remove the Metropole Hotel (C19th house), Roseville Street, St Helier from the Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey as a Building of Local Interest.
Reason(s) for Recommendation
The particular interest of the Metropole Hotel (C19th house), Roseville Street, St Helier, as identified and described in the report and relative to the published criteria for selection, does not justify its inclusion on Register of Buildings and Sites of Architectural, Archaeological and Historical Importance in Jersey as a BLI;
