FIELD 690A, MAUFANT, ST. MARTIN: SALE OF RIGHTS (P.20/2005)– AMENDMENT ____________
In p a ragraph (b) for the word"sale" substitute the word "gift" and for the words "for the sum of £10 in
each case, with each party to bear its respective legal and professional fees" substitute the words "with the public to be responsible for all legal and professional fees associated with the transactions".
DEPUTY OF ST. MARTIN
REPORT
The Housing Committee owns the roadways, footpaths, and lighting and landscape areas. It is proposing to transfer that responsibility to the Parishes of St. Martin and St. Saviour by way of sale with each party to bear it respective legal and professional fees.
Neither Parish was consulted regarding the wording of the Proposition, which if approved, will have financial implications for both of them. Even if the States approves the sale, it will be for the Parishes by way of Parish Assemblies to approve the sale. If the Parishioners are minded to accept responsibility for the Village it is unreasonable for them to pay for that privilege, albeit for £10, and also incur the legal and professional fees which to date are unknown.
The proposed Developer will be paying approximately £500,000 for rights of way to Field 690A. The Parishes are of the opinion that even after the reinstatement of the infrastructure there will be more than sufficient surplus money to pay for the proposed legal and professional fees. The sale is unnecessary and it is felt more appropriate that the transfer should by way of a "gift"
There will be no additional financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this amendment.
