L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

1 - 2 Clifton Place, 37 & 39 Ann Street, St. Helier: Minister determined not to list

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Special interests of the site

Historic interest

Late Victorian houses of unusual brickwork construction.

 

Architectural interest

A pair of 1880s houses (originally part of larger group). The houses together form a 5-bay, 2-storey property. Buff brick construction with moulded brick arches above windows and central passage. 2-pane sash windows. Slate roof with chimney stacks and ridge tiles removed.

Legal reasons for listing

Architectural
Historical

 

Statement of significance

1-2 Clifton Place are a pair of 1880s houses, originally fronting a group of similar houses set around an internal courtyard. Clifton Place was incorporated into a States housing scheme in the 1970s, as a result of which the other houses in the group were demolished, and Nos.1-2 lost their front gardens, chimneys and decorative ridge tiles. Despite this the houses retain historical and architectural interest in that they are a remnant of the courtyard buildings now rare in St Helier, are unusually built of buff brick with decorative moulded brick arches, and make a positive contribution to the streetscape. The refurbishment of these properties was pioneering in its day and generally considered to be successful in safeguarding the future of these historic buildings.

 

Advice offered by MLAG (and others if stated)

At their meeting on 16/05/2011 MLAG agreed with the Jersey Heritage recommendation that the building be Listed as grade 4.

33-39 Ann Street are a row of c.1830 houses that are clearly shown on the 1834 Le Gros Map. The row was incorporated into a States housing scheme in the 1970s. This refurbishment work resulted in the loss of the front and rear gardens, chimneys and decorative ridge tiles but despite this the houses substantially retain their historic form - with ashlar pattern rendering, 12-pane sash windows and panelled doors - and make a positive contribution to the streetscape.
