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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

A decision made 10 January 2011 regarding: Field 621, La Route de Noirmont, St. Brelade - Planning Application: Approval of Reserved Matters.

Decision Reference: MD-PE-2010-0138			Application Number: RM/2010/0915
Decision Summary Title:	Field 621, La Route de Noirmont, St. Brelade,		Date of Decision Summary:		13 December 2010
Decision Summary Author:	A Townsend Principal Planner		Decision Summary:		Public
Type of Report:	Written		Person Giving Oral Report:		N/A
Written Report Title:	Planning and Environment Department Report RM/2010/0915		Date of Written Report:		4 October 2010
Written Report Author:	A Townsend Principal Planner		Written Report :		Public
Subject: Field 621, La Route de Noirmont, , St. Brelade, Submission of Reserved Matters: Construct 1 No. dwelling.
Decision(s): Approve the submitted Reserved Matters. The Minister considered the application for Reserved Matters at a meeting in Public on15 October 2010, concluding that amendments would be required to the scale and position of the building, and seeking legal advice in respect of the need for another meeting in Public to consider an amended scheme, how the proposed integral unit could be conditioned, how the sight line through the site could be retained, and, whether as queried by Deputy Jeune, the Department’s original letter accepting the principle of one dwelling on the site, was binding. The Minister also requested that a public footpath be incorporated into any amended scheme. Amended drawings have subsequently been submitted showing the building reduced in height and width, and increasing the size of the sight line. Legal advice has also been received concluding that it is not necessary to hold a further meeting in Public given that the scheme has only been reduced in scale, and not altered in such a way that would result in any change or increase in impact on adjoining properties. The Minister is also advised that the Department’s original letter is indeed binding, and resulted in the grant of Outline Planning Permission. The applicant has removed the integral unit from the scheme overcoming this concern. With regard to this and the retention of the line of sight through the site, it was decided to require that the applicant enter into a Planning Obligation Agreement, prior to the commencement of any works on site.
Reason(s) for Decision: The conditions on the department’s written report shall be imposed except No. 3 (that the second unit remain ancillary), but with additional conditions securing the sight line, requiring the creation of the footpath before the dwelling is occupied and its retention thereafter, & removing Permitted Development rights.
Resource Implications: None.
Action required: Notify Agent, applicant and all other interested parties of the decision.
