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.";

2. in Policy HE1 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";

3. in Policy HE2 –

(i) 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."; (

ii)  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. in Proposal 14 – Conservation area designation –

(i) the second paragraph should be replaced with the following – "It is proposed that the first conservation area or areas to be designated should be within the historic areas of St Helier and then drawn from the following list: St Aubin, the areas around the parish churches of Grouville , St. Lawrence , St. Martin , Trinity , St. Ouen, St. Peter, and St. Clement; Gorey Village and Pier, and Rozel Harbour. Designation should follow engagement and consultation with parish authorities, local residents, businesses and other key stakeholders including heritage organisations."

(ii) a new paragraph should be inserted at the end of Proposal 14 as follows – "During the course of the Bridging Island Plan, at least four conservation areas should be designated from those listed in this Proposal."

(c)  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."

Minister for the Environment proposes the Second Amendment to the Eighty- ninth Amendment:

PAGE 2 –

(a)  Replace part (a) with the following –

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

1. 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.";

2. 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.

89th Amendment may be  proposed  as amended  by  this amendment.  If  not, amendment  is proposed, debated and voted on, after which the  Assembly  deals with the Amendment to  the  89th Amendment.

24th Amendment falls if  inclusive  design' section is added to the Plan  as  per  the  89th Amendment  and/or Second  Amendment to  the  89th Amendment.

Para  (a)  of  14th Amendment  falls  if the  89th  Amendment is debated and voted on.

39th Amendment falls if the 89th Amendment is debated and voted on.

89 Amd. (2)

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."

Senator Mézec proposes the Twenty-fifth Amendment: PAGE 2 –

After  the  words  "the  draft  Island  Plan  2022-25"  insert  the  words "except that –

(a) before Proposal 22 - Future affordable housing provision' there should be inserted the following new Policy – "Policy HX - Future affordable housing provision Residential development, to which this policy applies, will only be supported where a proportion of affordable housing is provided in accordance with the proportions and thresholds set out in supplementary planning guidance issued by the Minister for the  Environment.  The  application  of  this  policy  will  be  phased incrementally, subject to monitoring and review, such that:

1. the threshold levels for the scale of the development to which it applies will be incrementally reduced over time. It shall initially apply to schemes with a capacity of five or more homes and is intended to apply to schemes with a capacity of two or more homes after five years;

2. the proportion of affordable housing to be provided will be increased over time. It shall initially be at a rate of 12.5%, rising incrementally to 20% after five years. The percentage of affordable housing shall be rounded up if the figures arrived at contain a proportion of one unit.

The tenure of that proportion of development yield that is to be provided as affordable housing i.e. whether it is to be affordable homes for rent or purchase, shall be determined by guidance issued by the Minister for the Environment. Schemes that are just below the threshold levels, will have to demonstrate that the proposals do not represent an under- occupation of the site, nor that a large site is being brought forward in phases in order to avoid the threshold at each stage. Affordable housing 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 affordable housing on the site would make that development unviable;

2. that the site is of such a size or nature that the contribution to affordable  housing  would  be  maximised  by  the  contribution  to affordable housing in the form of a commuted payment, to support the delivery and/or procurement of affordable housing elsewhere;

3. affordable housing is best provided through the mechanism of a site- swap using sites within the ownership and control of the applicant;
