Esplanade Planning Applications: Ministerial Call-in

Information about the publication of Ministerial Decisions

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject: Esplanade Planning Applications: Call-in for determination by Minister
Decision(s): In accordance with the Code of Conduct for the Minister of Planning and Environment in the determination of planning applications and pre-application advice (MD-PE-2011-0120) the Minister has confirmed he is calling-in the following applications for his determination: P/2013/0993 – Esplanade Quarter, Building 1 P/2013/1144 – 5/6 Esplanade P/2013/1209 – Esplanade Quarter, Public Car Park
Reason(s) for Decision: The Minister considers that these sites are important within the context of the Esplanade, where there are several other committed and pending development proposals, particularly the existing outline permission for the Esplanade Quarter, the Waterfront Masterplan, and the adopted St Helier Design Guidance SPG.
