REPORT

As  Mr.  and  Mrs. Pinel  have  been  the  victims  of  poor  working  practices  by  the Planning Department, this being borne out by the public apology by the Minister for Planning and Environment, I believe that we owe a duty of care to Island residents, and that no member of the public should have to go through the planning system as happened to Mr. and Mrs. Pinel of Reg's Skips Ltd.

In paragraph 17.3 of the Committee of Inquiry's Report the following is stated –

"Our conclusion from the examination of all relevant records made available to us is that RSL incurred costs of £249,000 as a direct consequence of the complaints made by Mr. and Mrs. Yates, of the subsequent "enforcement" action by the Department, of the voisinage action and the other related matters heard by the Court".

Their out-of-pocket expenses are made up as follows –

 

Le Gallais & Luce

£40,873.73

Southdowns Environmental Consultants Ltd.

£16,667.67

Sinels

£87,497.72

Appleby

£80,000.00

Total

£225,039.12

To this can be added the expenses of the legal costs expert and the contractor engaged for the manual sorting making a total, as indicated in the report, of £249,000. I believe Mr. and Mrs. Pinel should be reimbursed this total sum.

Financial and manpower implications

There are no manpower implications. The financial implications are clearly set out in the amendment.
