Provision of land for lifelong dwellings (for people over 55) and first-time buyers: amendment to Island Plan (2002) P.75/2008

THE STATES resumed consideration of a proposition of the Minister for Planning and Environment concerning the provision of land for lifelong dwellings (for people over 55) and first-time buyers: amendment to Island Plan (2002), as amended.

THE STATES, adopting paragraphs (a) to (c) of a proposition of the Minister for Planning and Environment, agreed to refer to their Act dated 11th July 2002, in which they approved the Jersey Island Plan 2002 and, inter alia, Chapter 8 (Housing) – Policy H1 – Provision of Homes; and Policy H2 – Sites to be zoned for Category A housing, and agreed that on page 8.4 of the Jersey Island Plan 2002 after paragraph 8.19 the following new paragraphs should be inserted–

" L if e long homes (for people over  55)

8 .2 0 In response to the demographic trends that are altering the make-up of the Island's society and in

particular, the increasing proportion of older people within the community, the States has set objectives in the Strategic Plan 2006 – 2011 (at objectives 2.1, 2.1.3, 2.1.6, 3.8, 3.8.6 and 4.7) to effectively increase the provision and number of lifelong dwellings to enable a greater number of older people to remain living independently in the community, in their own homes for as long as possible.

8 .2 1 In seeking to facilitate the provision of lifelong homes (for people over  55), a proportion will need

to be accessible to those who cannot afford to occupy homes provided by development in the open market, and will need to be for social rent. Facilitating the provision of other lifelong homes (for people over 55), available to those who can afford to purchase on the open market, can enable downsizing' and encourage the release of larger homes, that may be more suitable as family accommodation, elsewhere in the housing market.

8 .2 2 T he parish system, and the active community engagement associated with it, is an important part

of Jersey's identity and character. The States is committed to supporting the parochial sense of community and the provision of homes for older people to remain in and contribute to their parish is considered to be important to the social fabric and identity of the place. Ensuring that there is opportunity to provide lifelong homes throughout the Island's parishes can help support and sustain mixed communities and vibrant parish life.

8 .2 3 T he provision of land for lifelong dwellings (for people over  55) for social rented housing and

homes to buy has a key role to play in providing this specific type of housing that is appropriately designed and which can play a role in supporting vibrant parish communities. Lifelong homes (for people over 55), to buy and for social rent, will need to be designed to accommodate both fit' and less able' people over the age of 55, in a socially supportive and stimulating environment which enables them to live independently for as long as possible in their own home.

8 . 2 4 T his is effectively a mix of need' (or affordable') and demand' housing and, in view of

increasing requirement to monitor and plan for this specific element of the housing sector relative to the demographic changes of an ageing society, the introduction of an extension of the definition of Category A housing is warranted, to include:

Housing for older people

Lifelong homes (for people over  55), to buy and for social rent."

and that on page  8.13 of the Jersey Island Plan 2002 a new paragraph  after paragraph  8.59 should be inserted–

" 8 .6 0 The definition of Category A housing has been extended, in 2008, in order to enable the zoning of land to enable the provision of lifelong homes (for people over 55), to buy and for social rent, designed to accommodate both fit' and less able' people over the age of 55, in a socially supportive and stimulating environment which enables them to live independently for as long as possible in their own home.",

an d t h e p a r ag raphs of this section be renumbered accordingly.

and in the third paragraph of Policy H1 – Provision of Homes after the wordsfirst-time buyer homes' there should be inserted the words or lifelong homes (for people over 55) to buy' and after the words each site', there should be inserted the words or where the social rent proportion is greater than 45%'.

THE STATES, adopting paragraph (d) and section (12) of a proposition of the Minister for Planning and Environment agreed that on page 8.18 of the Jersey Island Plan 2002, in Policy H2 – Sites to be zoned for Category A housing, after paragraph 8.87, there should be inserted the following new paragraphs–

" 8 .8 8  In order to contribute to meeting the requirements for Category  A housing, and particularly the need and demand for dwellings for older people (over  55), from 2008 until the adoption of the new Island Plan, a further eight sites comprising a total of approximately 26 acres/ 58.5  vergées are zoned for Category  A housing at the following locations.

8 .8 9 A n estimated dwelling yield is given for each site. This has been produced as a theoretical yield

derived from a desktop study to indicate the potential scale of development on each site. These yields are, therefore, entirely indicative and do not represent a maximum or minimum developable yield for each site, but rather give an indication of the scale of development that is likely to be achievable. Any subsequent development proposal, which will remain to be the subject of a formal planning application to be assessed against a development brief, will need to demonstrate that the estimated yield is achievable and appropriate and an efficient use of land.

(1 2 ) F i e ld s 516, 516A, 517 and 518, St.  Saviour

T h e s i te p r e s e n tl y comprises approximately 27¼ vergées of agricultural land located

opposite Grainville playing fields on St. Saviour's Hill and has access to good public transport and is in walking distance to shops at Five Oaks and Bagatelle. This site is a logical extension of the built-up area and the proximity to amenities and facilities makes it appropriate for older persons' homes.

  P r el i m i n a ry p ro p  o sa ls have suggested that the development of this large site could take the

form of a mixed tenure retirement village with a potential yield of approximately 98 no. open market and 80 social rent lifelong dwellings (for people over  55). It has been suggested that up to thirty of the social rent lifelong dwellings will be ceded by the developer to the Parish.

  P r o p o sa l s h a v e su g g ested that the development of the site could also provide for a 75-bed

residential care and dementia home, guardian accommodation, indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, shop, surgery, car parking and amenity space. A public car park to relieve potential on-street parking in Chasse Brunet and amenity open space will also be provided as part of the development. The amenities and facilities provided by the developer will be managed by a non profit making professional organisation and available to all residents.

  T h i s ty p e o f d e v e lopment  will  have no  impact  on  schools  and  traffic impact can  be

reasonably managed. The site is large enough to incorporate a significant area of open space.
