MINISTER FOR PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT
This amendment has been lodged by the Minister for Planning and Environment for less than 6 weeks before the start of the debate in accordance with the provisions of Article 4A of the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002. Paragraphs 4A(2), (3) and (4) are in the following terms –

In accordance with the provisions of paragraph (4), the Minister for Planning and Environment will seek the agreement of the States to debate this amendment during the debate on P.37/2014: Island Plan 2011: revised draft revision – approval.
REPORT
This amendment simply seeks to respond to changed circumstances that have arisen since the revised draft revision of the 2011 Island Plan was lodged in March 2014. This is principally related to the transfer of the social housing assets of the States of Jersey Housing Department to Andium Homes Limited on 1st July 2014, following the coming into force of the Social Housing (Transfer) (Jersey) Law 2013.
The Minister's revised housing strategy, to deliver the necessary affordable homes, is heavily dependent upon the development of new homes through regeneration of former States Housing Department sites now owned by Andium Homes Limited, and the development of other land owned by the States, which may include additional transfers of land to Andium Homes or other agencies wholly owned by the States (such as SoJDC) or other registered affordable housing providers.
The purpose of this amendment is, therefore, to ensure that land identified for the purposes of providing Category A affordable homes in the housing strategy, as set out in the Minister's revised draft Island Plan, can deliver the necessary homes regardless of which body or agency might own or administer the land.
For clarity and the avoidance of doubt, the outcome of this further amendment, if adopted, is set out in the attached Appendix.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no direct financial or human resource implications arising from this further amendment.
