PAGE 2 –
After the words "the revised draft Island Plan 2011" insert the words "except that –
- in the Proposals Map forming part of the Plan, the area surrounding the community building at La Providence, La Vallée de St. Pierre, St. Lawrence , which is currently in the Built-up Area, should be included within the Green Zone as shown in the Map attached at the Appendix;
- in Policy SCO3 – Community facilities (pages 278–279) after the words to meet the needs of the local community' insert the words There will be a presumption against the alternative development of community facilities that do not lie in the Built-up Area.' ".
DEPUTY J.A.N. LE FONDRÉ OF ST. LAWRENCE
REPORT
This amendment is brought purely to try to continue some consistency between one Island Plan and the next.
The La Providence site was, at the time, quite a controversial development, and as Parish Deputy , and along with other States members (including the then Connétable , Geoffrey Fisher, the then Deputy , Deidre Mezbourian , and the Deputy of St. Peter , Collin Egré), I was involved in opposing various aspects of the proposed development.
One matter which occurred was that the Community Centre, which was originally meant to be for the residents of the new estate, was allowed to be built outside of the area originally rezoned by the States in the 2002 Island Plan, into an area of Important Open Space.
Whilst I do not particularly wish to revisit old ground, what did strike me in the present plan is that having permitted this encroachment into an area of land that was not zoned for development, the present Island Plan has now changed that land into Built Up Area'.
It has certainly been put to me that it would therefore be much easier in the future for the Community Centre (which at the time of writing this report still appears to be under construction) to be replaced with further residential development.
Accordingly, with this amendment I am seeking to allay the concerns of parishioners who have raised this with me, and to ensure, as far as is practicable, that the new Community Centre remains as such for the foreseeable future.
Financial and manpower implications
On the basis that the Minister considers that there are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from the proposition, then there are unlikely to be any arising from this amendment.
