PAGE 2 –
After the words "the revised draft Island Plan 2011" insert the words "except that –
- the following be removed from the list of sites to be zoned for Category A housing at Policy H1: Category A housing sites (on page 246):
2. Part Field 1219, Grande Route de Mont à l'Abbé, St. Helier
(3 acres/7 vergées).';
- the revised draft Island Plan 2011 be further amended in such respects as may be necessary consequent upon the adoption of (a);
- the Proposals Map be amended to reflect the adoption of (a).".
DEPUTY D.J. DE SOUSA OF ST. HELIER
NOTE:
The consequential amendments would include amendments to Proposal 17: Provision of homes (page 242); Table 6.3: Supply of homes 2011–2020 (page 238); and Table 6.4: Net housing supply 2011–2020 (page 239); to be amended accordingly to reflect the potential additional yield of 10–15 homes from the zoning of this site; and there may be others.
REPORT
Part (a): At present, Field 1219 may be surrounded by development which may cause it to be viewed as being within the Built-up Area (BUA).
In Section 4: Built Environment 4.9 the Plan states: "there is no deliberate relaxation of the Built-up Area boundary in this plan to meet development need.".
I believe we should look at redevelopment or brown-field sites before rezoning agricultural land that is actively being used for this purpose. Category A housing is in short supply, but surely continuously rezoning agricultural land is not the answer.
As a Government, we are custodians responsible for looking after the future of the Island. There needs to be more logical forward planning to safeguard against the erosion of Green Fields.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this amendment.
