STATES OF JERSEY

ISLAND PLAN 2011: APPROVAL (P.48/2011): THIRTY-SEVENTH AMENDMENT (P.48/2011 Amd.(37)) – COMMENTS

Presented to the States on 20th June 2011 by the Minister for Housing

STATES GREFFE

2011   Price code: A  P.48 Amd.(37)Com.

COMMENTS

This amendment suggests withdrawing Policy H3 of the Draft Island Plan and for a new policy to be formulated and brought back to the States.

The issue of housing demand and the need for affordable (including social) housing has been an issue of much debate for some time. It is a difficult topic to grasp given that it reflects demographic changes in our society, the changing hopes and aspirations of individuals, the availability of finance and our property market, which has of course been affected by global economic challenges.

The Draft Island Plan uses information on housing needs gathered by the Statistics Unit in 2007 in its Housing Needs Survey. The underlying need for affordable housing identified  by  the  Survey is,  I  believe,  still  largely  valid.  However,  the  economic situation will have resulted in a significant shift in tenure requirements away from First-Time Buyer and Jersey Homebuy in favour of social rented housing.

The  need  for  Affordable  Housing  and  Social  Rented  Housing  in  particular  is significant. There has been scant supply since 2007, despite a round of rezoning in 2008 (P.75/2008). Only one site zoned in 2008 has been delivered. The lack of supply is creating real hardship, right now and what we do not need at this juncture is more delay.

This  Island  Plan,  including  Section  6  and  Policy  H3  need  to  be  approved  and developers  encouraged  to  produce  the  homes  we  need.  If  through  the  annual monitoring of the performance of the plan it becomes clear that sufficient homes are not  being  delivered,  then  the  Minister  for  Planning  and  Environment  can  bring revisions to the States to fill the supply gap.

I will not be supporting this amendment.
