13. with the adoption of the amendment of the Minister for the Environment (P.36/2021 Amd.(89)), as amended –

1. within the preamble to Policy HE1– Protecting listed buildings and places, and their settings,

(i)  after paragraph 2 on page 124, there should be inserted a new section –

"Inclusive design

Everyone should be able to enjoy easy and exclusive access to the historic environment. Listed buildings and places may need to be modified to meet existing access needs as well as the changing needs of occupants and users. Removing barriers to access can allow many more people to use and benefit from the historic environment. If sensitively designed this need not compromise the ability of future generations to enjoy heritage and access these environments. Understanding the significance of a building is a vital first step in thinking about how much it can be changed to ensure sensitive interventions. In most cases access can be improved without compromising the special interest of the historic buildings and it is rare when nothing can be done to improve or facilitate access. By undertaking a careful process of research, consultation and creative exploration of alternative,  good quality solutions are usually possible. The provision of improved access can be an important part of a sustainable approach to caring for the historic environment without compromising the significance of special places.";

(i)  substitute the last paragraph on page 125 with the following –

"In the case of demolition, in whole or in part, justification for this course of action might arise where a building is structurally unsound and is technically incapable of repair; or the demolition or partial demolition relates to a structure which detracts from the special interest of the listed building or place. In exceptional circumstances there may be overriding public policy objectives, related to the delivery of other Government priorities, such as the provision of strategic infrastructure, or compliance with specific policies of direct public benefit (for example, improving access for people with disability or sustainability), which would add weight to a proposal for partial or full demolition of a listed building or place.

The weight given to heritage values in decision-making should be proportionate to the significance of the building or  place and the impact of the proposed change on that significance, together with an  assessment of the  public  benefit to be  derived from a demolition proposal. The nature of the predicted public benefit should be clearly described and justified, and should set out how, when and in what form the community will be expected to benefit directly from the proposed development, relative to its impact on the historic environment. To ensure the protection of the island's historic environment the wholesale loss of any listed building would require exceptional justification where it can be demonstrated that public benefit outweighs harm, and where the nature of that benefit to the public is clear, direct and evidenced."

(iii) substitute the third paragraph on page 126 with the following –

"In cases where there is any approved alteration to or loss of historic built fabric from, listed buildings or places, there will be a requirement for an appropriate level of recording and analysis to be undertaken and subsequently publication including to the island's Historic Environment Record. This may also include requirements, especially in the case of works affecting places of archaeological interest, relating to the treatment and care of archival material. In exceptional circumstances, where it is proportionate, reasonable and appropriate to do so, a form of mitigation could involve managed disassembly and reconstruction of a heritage asset on an alternative site. Any such requirements will be secured through planning condition or obligation attached to any such permission.";

2. in Policy HE1 –

1. the fourth paragraph should be replaced with the following – "Proposals that do not protect a listed building or place or its setting will not be supported unless and with regard to the comparative significance of the listed building or place, or its setting, and the impact of proposed development on that significance";

2. at the end of c., after the words "reasonably practicable" replace the word "or" with the word "and";
3. at the end of d., after the words "in its setting" add "and where the nature of that benefit to the public is clear, direct and evidenced."

3. in Policy HE2 –

1. for the first paragraph there should be substituted – "Historic windows and doors in listed buildings or buildings in a conservation area which are of significance or special interest, or which contribute to the character of the conservation area should be repaired using materials and detailing to match the existing. Proposals for the replacement of modern glazing in historic windows with double glazing will be supported where it can be accommodated:

1. within the existing window or door joinery frames; or
2. within a like for like frame where the existing frame is beyond repair.";

2. in the third paragraph the words "or the character of a building in a conservation area" should be deleted.
3. a new fourth paragraph should be inserted in as follows – "Where proposals for the replacement of windows and doors in conservation areas will affect the character and appearance of the conservation area, they will only be supported where they protect or improve that character or appearance."
4. in the first sentence of the existing paragraph four the word "more" should be deleted from before "modern windows", the words "or buildings in a conservation area" should be removed, and the word "and" should replace "or" at the end of the second line;
5. a second sentence should be inserted at the end of the existing fifth paragraph as follows – "The use of double-glazing in replacement windows and glazing in doors will, therefore, be supported where replacements replicate the historic window and doors as far as practicable helping to meet Jersey's commitment to energy efficiency."

4. within the preamble to Policy HE3 – Protection or improvement of conservation areas, a new sentence should be inserted at the end of the last paragraph on page 133 – "This does not preclude high quality modern design of buildings or spaces within the area, rather it seeks a contextual response to fit the place."
5. the draft bridging Island Plan 2022-25 be further amended in such respects as may be necessary consequent upon the adoption of (b)(ii) and (iii), specifically Policy HE3  – Protection or improvement of conservation areas; Policy HE5 – Conservation of archaeological heritage; Policy NE1 – Protection and improvement of biodiversity and geodiversity; and Policy NE3 – Landscape and seascape character, and their associated preambles.

14. with the adoption of the amendment of Deputy Inna Gardiner of St. Helier (P.36/2021 Amd.(24)) –

the Minister for the Environment was requested to make appropriate adjustments to ensure that consideration for disability and inclusion are more explicitly incorporated within the justification to Policy HE1, and with regard to proposals to change historic buildings;

15. with the adoption of the amendment of Deputy Kirsten Francis Morel of St. Lawrence (P.36/2021 Amd.(39)) –

The proportion of assisted purchase homes shall be provided on the site for which permission is sought, unless one or more of the following circumstances apply:

1. that the provision of the housing product(s) specified by the Minister for Housing and Communities on the site would make that development unviable, and in such cases, the applicant has demonstrated that an appropriate alternative form of discount or financial assistance will be provided as far as possible;
2. that the site is of such a size or nature that the contribution to assisted purchase housing would be maximised in the form of a commuted payment, to support the delivery and/or procurement of assisted purchase housing products elsewhere. A commuted payment will not be accepted where it is intended to cross-subsidise homes already subject to an affordable, first-time buyer or other assisted purchase requirement, but may be used to increase the supply of assisted purchase homes on another open market site;
3. where assisted purchase housing is best provided through the mechanism of a site-swap using sites within the ownership and control of the applicant, which will be secured using a planning obligation agreement.

This policy will be in effect from January 2023, following the development and publication appropriate assisted purchase products and eligibility criteria, as relevant to the application of this policy.

The Minister for the Environment, in consultation with the Minister for Housing and Communities, will periodically review the parameters which apply to the operation of this policy and, should a need for change be identified, will issue further supplementary planning guidance to revise one or more of the following:

• the threshold size of developments to which the policy will apply;

• the proportion of homes to which the policy applies;

• the type and value of first-time housing products which might be applicable;

The Minister will also further assess the viability of decreasing the threshold to which this policy applies and/or increasing the proportion of contribution that is to be made. Such work will be undertaken in consultation with key stakeholders, with a view to increase the policy requirement in the subsequent Island Plan (2026-2035). The overall impact on housing supply and viability will be assessed having regard to the need for restrictions to be put in place to ensure that contributions to the proposed Sustainable Communities Fund are viable, proportionate and appropriate in light of the provision of affordable and other types of first-time buyer and assisted purchase homes."; and
