Introduction
This is the first year that the States Annual Business Plan and Budget will be approved under the Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005. Under this Law, the detail of each Department s expenditure and resources is required at the States Annual Business Plan debate in September at which all States spending decisions will be made.
The Budget in December will now only approve the tax and funding proposals required as a result of the expenditure decisions.
This year s Annual Business Plan document is in two parts. A main Annual Business Plan Report, summarising the expenditure proposals, and an Annex providing the detail of each Department s expenditure and resources as well as the detail of Capital, Legislation and Property resource requirement proposals.
The information provided in the annex for each department, and Non Ministerial States funded body, which will also be presented in their individual annual business plans when produced later in the year, includes:
¥ a commentary on the financial position for the next three years;
¥ a summary of key objectives and key performance criteria for 2007, linked to the Strategic Plan;
¥ a statement of Department expenditure allocations and manpower levels;
¥ a summary service analysis for the Department;
¥ a reconciliation of the changes in expenditure allocations from 2006 to 2007;
¥ a summary of the objectives and performance measures for each service area; and
¥ the Strategic Plan initiatives for the Department.
This information, provided by departments themselves, has been developed alongside the aim to allocate resources more in line with strategic objectives. The Chief Minister and Treasury and Resources Departments are indebted to all departments for their co-operation in providing this information.
Other information provided in this annex includes details of:
¥ the proposed 2007 to 2011 capital programme;
¥ key ICT projects;
¥ properties proposed for disposal in 2007; and
¥ the impact of the legislation programme on the resources of the States.
Departments will produce their own detailed annual business plans later in the year and these will be at a level where they can be used operationally within that department. These business plans will include a more detailed service analysis, allocation of support services and efficiency savings.
The information in departments business plans will also form the basis of the annual performance report to be produced alongside the Financial Report and Accounts for 2007.
The Chief Minister and Treasury and Resources Departments hope readers will find this additional information of benefit and would encourage any queries in relation to the Annex to be addressed to the relevant Department.

Chief Minister
The Aim of the Chief Minister s Department is to:
¥ support and advise the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers in establishing, co-ordinating, communicating and implementing States approved policies and objectives;
¥ provide direction and leadership to the public service to ensure that policies and programmes are delivered in accordance with agreed priorities; and
¥ develop and promote international relations to further Jersey s international standing and reputation.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
The budget of the Chief Minister s Department has increased by £7.7 million (125%) since 2005 due to significant transfers of budgets from other departments relating to the restructuring of Government, and the PECRS pre 1987 scheme debt. When such transfers are excluded the Chief Minister s Department 2007 budget has reduced by £570,000 (10%) since 2005.
Budgets totalling £1.2 million transferred into the Chief Minister s Department in 2006 as a result of government reform. These budgets relate to the Law Drafting Department, Emergency Planning and Legal Advisory Panel.
The Change Programme resulted in the centralisation of budgets totalling £4.4 million to Human Resources and Information Services in 2006. The States, in agreeing P190/2005 Amendments to the PECRS Law, confirmed responsibility for the PECRS pre-1987 scheme past service liability. Consequently related budgets totalling £2.8 million have been consolidated in the Department in order to repay that debt.
Since 2005 the Chief Minister s Department has achieved service cuts of £400,000 and will make £400,000 further reductions in 2007 and 2008. It has also led the HR and IT transformation projects that have delivered £700,000 and £940,000 respectively.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
Reductions in law drafting spend have been previously agreed (£88,000 in both 2007 and 2008). The Secretary Training scheme will close in 2007 with a consequent saving of £11,000 per annum and service reductions in employee relations and the pre-1967 States pension scheme have also been identified with cumulative savings in 2007 and 2008 of approximately £160,000 per annum.
Efficiency Savings 2007 to 2009
The HR transformation was tasked with reducing States Human Resource costs by £700,000 over 2005 and 2006. This has been achieved by investing in an integrated payroll and HR system and consolidating, standardising and reshaping HR services. Whilst the overall cost has been reduced the quality of HR provision has been maintained with improvements in administrative efficiency and in the more consistent application of HR procedures. The new HR information system will provide much improved management information across a whole range of people management issues.
The Change Programme also tasked the Chief Minister s Department with reducing States IT costs by £940,000. This
is being achieved by working with departments to achieve efficiencies in purchasing and operating costs and introducing the Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) telephone system across the States. This system enhances the States telephone capabilities and will significantly reduce annual telephone spend on calls, line rental, equipment and system maintenance.
Summary of three year position
The significant increase to the Chief Minister s Department budget in recent years is due to the consolidation of various States budgets in order to achieve better, simpler and cheaper services across the States. When such transfers are excluded the Chief Minister s Department 2007 budget has reduced by £570,000 (10%) since 2005.
Despite this reduction in its core budget, the Department continues to lead the co-ordination and implementation of the Change Programme to ensure that the public sector delivers the benefits and improvements that the government has promised to the community.

Grant to the Overseas Aid Commission
The Jersey Overseas Aid Commission s grant from the States of Jersey was reviewed in October 2002 (P129/2002). Subsequently it was agreed to base the grant on a percentage of tax revenues increasing by 0.05% each year from 1.25% in 2004 to 1.45% in 2008, when it will again be reviewed.
The largest part of the Commission s budget is allocated to grant aid with 80% of its budget allocated to aid agencies submitting proposals for projects covering clean water, health, sanitation, education, agriculture, livestock, and revolving credit schemes for small businesses. 15% of its grant is available for disaster and emergency relief due to the ever- increasing demands for both natural disasters and the emergencies arising through human conflict.
AIM
To manage and administer the monies voted by the States of Jersey for overseas aid, so as to enable humanitarian aid to be provided overseas for the purposes of:
¥ assisting in the reduction of poverty;
¥ providing medical and health care and education;
¥ providing effective education and training;
¥ providing safe drinking water and food;
¥ assisting in emergency and disaster needs, including the subsequent restoration of facilities; and
¥ other purposes, relating to the provision of humanitarian aid overseas, that the Commission may from time to time consider appropriate.
SUMMARY OF KEY OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES AND KEY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR 2007 Objective 1: To implement fully the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005
Performance/success criteria:
The Commission will pursue this by:
¥ working closely with the private and voluntary sectors;

Economic Development
The aim of the Economic Development Department is to achieve sustainable economic growth at or above the annual target of 2% whilst constraining the growth in the working population to 1% per annum. Growth must be delivered whilst maintaining low levels of inflation, economic diversification and the creation of job opportunities.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
The transition to ministerial government completed the process of consolidating the economic activities of five former States Committees and Departments. As a consequence the Economic Development Department is now directly responsible for the policy, strategy and economic outputs of all areas of the Jersey economy.
Subsequent to the consolidation of those activities and related budgets the Department is undertaking a fundamental reorganisation to deliver a coordinated customer focused operation that is both fit for delivering sustainable economic growth and is responsive to the demands of both the local and global economy.
At the time of writing the reorganisation was not complete and therefore the service analysis provided in this Business Plan will be revised to reflect the reorganisation in the Departmental Business Plan to be published in November.
The 2007 budget of the Economic Development Department has increased by only £340,000 (2%) since 2005. Over this period service cuts have been agreed through the FSR process of £1.1 million mostly in the services of tourism (£780,000) and agriculture (£250,000).
Significant growth funding of £1 million has been provided in 2007 for the Economic Growth Plan. This funding underlines the significance of this policy document and its endorsement by the Council of Ministers. Major initiatives that will be funded from the budget include:
¥ a Skills Strategy that will ensure a skills base in the Island that meets the needs of business;
¥ an Enterprise and Business Development Strategy that will create an environment conducive to economic growth in the Island;
¥ a Tourism Strategy for revitalising the industry and raising the profile of the Island;
¥ an external transport policy that will ensure reliable services and low passenger and freight charges; and
¥ the promotion of competition and consumer interests.
Other initiatives to be funded from the 2007 budget include:
¥ the Rural Economy Strategy which promotes the economic and efficient use of land;
¥ a lead role in the governance of the fulfilment, e-commerce and retail industries; and
¥ the implementation of the Consumer Safety (Jersey) Law 2006.
School Milk is included in the budget for a further year. The intention remains to withdraw this funding pending the successful reorganisation of the Dairy industry.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
Service reductions totalling £640,000 and £430,000 have been previously agreed for 2007 and 2008 respectively. The cuts were agreed in principally tourism and agriculture marketing.
Efficiency Savings 2007 to 2009
The Department supports the further allocation of efficiency savings. These equate to £230,000 over the three year period of which £140,000 has been allocated for procurement savings which will rely on the corporate negotiations undertaken by the Treasury.
Summary of three year position
The £1 million funding approved for the Economic Strategy underlines the importance the Council of Ministers has placed on long term economic growth. The Department now has a clear responsibility for the economy and one over- riding objective to ensure the Island s economy delivers 2% real growth with inflation and growth in working population at or below target levels. The Department is committed to achieving this within the budget granted.
SUMMARY OF KEY OBJECTIVES AND KEY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR 2007
Objective 1: Sustainable long term economic growth, at or above planned targets, delivering additional tax receipts and
more diverse employment opportunities for local people whilst managing inflationary pressures within the economy.
Performance/success criteria:
¥ Controlled, sustainable real economic growth at or above 2% p.a.
¥ Increased tax revenue allowing for the introduction of 0/10.
¥ New strategies to support economic growth, including but not limited to retail strategy, tourism strategy and a Business Enterprise Development strategy developed and implemented.
¥ Launch of a Business Service Centre.
¥ An increase in job opportunities for local people in both existing and new sectors.
¥ Full employment for local people.
¥ Net inward migration to be within States policies over the plan period.
¥ Higher efficiency and profitability in all sectors of the economy.

Education, Sport and Culture
MISSION AND AIMS
The work of the Department, service providers and partners is guided by the Mission, Aims and Values Statements which provide the basis for continued development and success.
MISSION STATEMENT:
To provide sustainable opportunities for learning and engagement to enhance the quality of life of individuals so that they may be fulfilled and encouraged to make a positive contribution to their community.
AIMS
¥ To promote a vision of learning and continuous development based on access to opportunities for all members of the community.
¥ To advocate, enable and encourage education, sport and culture through active engagement in partnerships within the States and with other organisations.
¥ To promote the development and provision of facilities, events, activities and publications to provide a range of engaging experiences.
¥ To provide appropriate customer focussed services, information and support.
¥ To secure, deploy and develop the resources to support learning, sport and culture to the benefit of individuals and the Island community in an efficient and effective manner.
¥ To value and develop our people to achieve a service of high quality.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
The Education, Sport and Culture Minister is concerned that there is a number of unresolved issues that will impact on the allocation of the Department s 2007 to 2009 Cash Limits, in particular:
¥ the development, consultation, endorsement and implementation of a Higher Education Funding Strategy which will influence the level of States investment in Higher Education;
¥ the funding of the Department s ICT Curriculum Strategy II Building on Success ;
¥ the development of vocational and tertiary education programmes; and
¥ greater equity and access to nursery education and care.
Consequently the financial information provided by the Department for Education, Sport and Culture has been prepared based on current policies and priorities. The Department s 2007 Business Planning process (to be completed during 2006) will address the impact and resolution of these issues.
Outcomes from Strategic Plan Review
Additional funding has been made available to the Department as a result of the Strategic Plan Review as follows:
¥ Increased employer s contribution to the Jersey Teachers Superannuation Fund (JTSF) £1.3 million
The JTSF provides pensions and benefits for teaching staff and operates under the Teachers Superannuation (Jersey) Law 1979. Pension increases are funded outside the Fund and the previous Education and Education, Sport and Culture Committees determined to reduce the rising revenue implications of funding pension increases from revenue cash limits.
When the previous Education, Sport and Culture Committee considered the actuarial valuation of the JTSF as at 31 December 2001, together with proposals for dealing with the deficit revealed it agreed, in principle, to provide for a Teachers Scheme similar to the PECRS with effect from 1 January 2007. The cost of this proposal is estimated to be an additional £1.3 million a year in the employer s contribution rate.
¥ Jersey Opera House Capital Repayment £220,000
The purchase of the Opera House was approved by the States in 1995. Shortly thereafter, the Finance and Economics Committee transferred responsibility for its restoration to the Arts Trust and requested that a fund raising campaign commence for its refurbishment. In 1998 the States agreed to issue an unconditional guarantee for the repayment of a loan of up to £5.5 million which was taken out by the Jersey Arts Trust with Barclays Bank plc.
Interest payments commenced in 2000 and capital repayments were deferred to commence in 2005. Funding to meet the interest repayments is included in the annual grant to the Jersey Arts Trust but no provision was made to meet the capital repayments. Political sponsorship for the Jersey Arts Trust was transferred from the Finance and Economics Committee to the Education, Sport and Culture Committee in 2003 but the budget transferred did not include funding for the capital repayments. At that time the Finance and Economics Committee gave an assurance that the transfer of administrative responsibility should have no impact on the Committee s revenue budget.
¥ Vocational and Tertiary Education £1 million
This initiative will seek to ensure that the Island population has the required skills to achieve the Economic Growth Target. The original package was estimated to cost between £1.6 and £2.1 million and was made up of four key elements:
¥ 14-19 curriculum development;
¥ on Island development of Higher Education;
¥ funding to mitigate a three fold increase in Open University charges to local residents;
¥ adult skills initiative to improve abilities in literacy numeracy and the application of information technology.
The provisions that will be delivered for the £1 million agreed as part of the Strategic Plan review are currently being developed.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
The previous Committee was fully supportive of the 2006 to 2008 resource allocation process and was pleased that there was recognition of the impact of demographic changes in 2007 and 2008 in order to reconcile the actual pupil and student numbers with the funds available. However, the Minister is disappointed that there has not yet been the opportunity to revisit this reconciliation for 2009 or to adjust the Age Weighted Pupil Unit in order to explore such issues as the inclusion of an additional allocation for ICT.
Summary of three year position
The previous Committee developed a number of strategies which shape the delivery of education, sport and culture within the Island which the Minister will champion over the next three years. This will result in the requirement to realign the Department s budget to reflect the most appropriate methods of service delivery.
The Department for Education, Sport and Culture will work with service providers and partners to:
¥ develop a Higher Education Funding Strategy for consideration by the Council of Ministers which will influence the level of States investment in Higher Education;
¥ ensure the maximum achievable benefit from the Department s investment in Early Years education and care;
¥ plan provision to meet the demands of demographic changes within the population and refine its internal resource allocation process to ensure efficiency and effectiveness;
¥ secure resources for and deliver the second generation ICT strategy entitled Building on Success ;
¥ commence the implementation of changes to the 14-19 curriculum to support enhanced relevance, engagement and achievement;
¥ consolidate arrangements for Further, Higher and Adult Education which take account of changing patterns of participation, provision and funding;
¥ continue to implement the Cultural Strategy for the Island, which was developed following extensive consultation with key partners and stakeholders; and
¥ improve the quality and application of management information and systems for communication to achieve the effective use of resources.

Health and Social Services
To redesign the health and social care system to deliver improved health and social well being for the Island community.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
As with most health and social care systems in the developed world, Health and Social Services are subject to continuing pressures from a number of sources which have a direct impact on the cost and demand for services. These include:
¥ an aging population;
¥ advances in medical science and technology resulting in new high cost diagnostic and therapeutic interventions;
¥ investment in IT services required to deliver modern, efficient and effective services;
¥ increasing public expectations; and
¥ rising standards in clinical practice.
Against a background of sustained investment by the UK Government in the NHS the Health and Social Services and Policy and Resources Committees sponsored a review of health care funding, undertaken by the Health Services Management Centre, University of Birmingham. In 2003 the report recommended that the service required real growth of between 3% and 7% for the next five years.
The 2007 cash limit provides growth of £3.3 million, equating to 2.5% growth on the 2006 cash limit whilst also requiring efficiency savings of £0.9 million. This clearly presents a difficult financial environment in which to operate. Maintaining and improving services in terms of both volume and quality whilst at the same time meeting the cost and demand pressures outlined above will prove extremely challenging. The department has a track record of successfully meeting these challenges; for example, 2006 has seen a dramatic reduction in waiting times for all elective surgery. The department aims to continue to successfully meet these challenges and will both continue and commence with the implementation of a number of initiatives during 2007.
Day Surgery - The opening of the new Day Surgery Unit will provide additional operating facilities enabling the improvement in waiting times to be maintained.
Nurse Training - The development of nurse training and cadet schemes will help train and develop locally qualified nursing staff.
Specialist Referrals to the UK - commission specialist care in the UK.
Independent Review - The desire to continually improve the services that we provide will be supported by the Healthcare Commission who will undertake a review of the services provided by Health and Social Services.
Family Based Care - Investment in a range of initiatives aimed at increasing the number of family based placements for those children and young people who are in the care of Health and Social Services.
Screening Programmes - expand and develop screening programmes on offer to the island.
Medical Staffing - Continued investment in medical staff to provide high quality locally based care.
Drugs and Clinical Supplies - Investment in new improved drugs and clinical supplies enabling the latest up to date care to be provided.
Outcomes from Strategic Plan Review
The Department has initiated the New Directions project looking at the best way of providing health and social care in Jersey over the next decade. An initial exploration of the issues facing the island suggests that whilst current services are high quality and public expectations are currently being met, there are many significant issues that need to be addressed to ensure the continued provision of effective, efficient and affordable health and social care. Whilst work is currently underway to investigate these issues it is too early in the stage of the project to reach any conclusions to feed into the current strategic plan review.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
Resources allocated to the Department for the three years 2007 to 2009 reflect an on-going recognition of the increasing demand and cost pressure associated with the provision of health and social care. Even with the additional resources allocated to the department in each of these three years, continuing to deliver and improve upon the high level and standards of care will prove extremely difficult and challenging.
Efficiency Savings 2007 to 2009
The department achieved its 2005 efficiency savings and is on schedule to achieve the targeted savings of £1.2 million for 2006. Given the current environment in which the department is operating the delivery of further efficiency savings during 2007-2009, totalling £1.7 million will be extremely challenging. Efficiency programmes and cost improvement plans are currently being developed to achieve the £949,000 of efficiency savings required in 2007.
Summary of three year position
The department is aware of the challenging financial environment within which the States is operating and is pleased that Health and Social Services are considered to be a priority service that will continue to receive growth funding. The cost and service pressures outlined above are expected to continue throughout this three year period and beyond. The challenge of maintaining current high standards and indeed continuing to improve services will become increasingly difficult in this demanding financial environment. Meeting this challenge will require a programme of continued improvement across the service; to be successful this needs to be underpinned by an investment in the department s information systems, enabling efficient, effective and integrated service delivery.

Notes:
These indicators should be used sensitively taking full account of their limitations in determining the performance of health and social services; particularly, random effects or chance variation when dealing with small numbers which is more prevalent for small jurisdictions such as Jersey; and the use of a small number of indicators to assesses performance from a vast array of potential clinical and non-clinical indicators.
Targets are subject to annual review and revision, and as improved data become routinely available.

Health and Social Services is restructuring the management of its services during 2006, as a result comparison of services between years may be difficult.
Note: The Council of Ministers received an additional funding request from the Comptroller and Auditor General for £109,000.
The Council of Ministers agreed the request, but were not prepared to increase total expenditure, and consequently have agreed a pro-rata reduction in all Ministerial departments cash limits.

Home Affairs
To contribute towards a safe, just and equitable society, thus improving people s quality of life.
The Department s key objectives, in particular those relating to the front line services, reflect their importance to the welfare of the Island population, being associated with the safety and security of the public, whether through effective policing, strong frontier protection or in developing a framework which reduces the risk to life, property and the environment from fire and other emergencies. A performance structure has been established which is clearly linked to States Strategic priorities through which the Department is able to measure the success of its policies. However, this is within a climate of extreme funding pressures which, if not addressed, is likely to impact on the future provision of services.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
The Department is currently undertaking a review of the Prison budget and it is likely that this will highlight further funding pressures over and above the allocation of additional funds already agreed for 2007. Furthermore, the development of a performance improvement plan, with time-bound targets and costings, is seen as key to addressing the underlying issues and is in the course of preparation. Once this work is complete, and the extent of the funding pressures is established, the Council of Ministers will need to consider how to address these issues alongside the funding options which are available. In the short term this may result in one-off reprioritisation amongst ministerial departments in 2007, but for the longer term will inform the funding considerations for the annual business planning process for 2008.
A number of factors have placed pressure on the Prison budget. These include a steadily increasing prison population, by almost 50% since 2001 including those sentenced in Jersey but transferred to England and Wales, caused primarily by the effect of long sentences for drug trafficking offences. Further pressure results from the changing profile of prisoners, requiring more intensive methods of supervision and the increased cost of medical supplies. Challenges have also been created by the standard, style and extent of accommodation at La Moye associated with more rigid criteria for the segregation of categories of prisoner.
Capital funds allocated to the Prison will eventually address the physical shortcomings of the facility whilst the recruitment of additional staff will mean that the Prison can undertake the basic security measures necessary for any prison establishment in the 21st Century. However, the results of an independent Prison Inspectorate review published in 2006 highlights the fact that the Prison is a complex establishment which had been unable to keep pace with modern standards and the demands placed upon it.
The contribution which the Island makes towards the defence expenditure of the United Kingdom, being the establishment in the Island of a Territorial Army Unit, was agreed by the States in 1986. The Department continues to make the case that the cost is not within the Department s control and cannot be managed to assist in achieving the Department s cost savings targets. Additional funds provided in 2007 will not be sufficient to meet the budget estimate provided by the UK Ministry of Defence and the shortfall will increase if the Unit increases its complement of staff to the level laid down in the 1986 Agreement.
Expenditure on these, as well as other areas within the Departments remit is influenced by factors outside of its control and, whilst being unavoidable, they are often difficult to predict. The fact that a major element of the Department s budget, approximately 80%, relates to the cost of staff makes it extremely difficult to divert resources in the short term to meet funding shortfalls in other areas.
The Department has initiated a process of prioritisation in case it is required to divert funds to these areas of the budget. Unless the Department s budget is increased, this will inevitably mean that the resources available to the emergency services will reduce, which will compromise their ability to maintain the current level of service, which is required to protect the quality of life of residents and visitors to the Island.
Outcomes from Strategic Plan Review
The recommendations of a Working Party on Race Relations for the preparation of a Race Discrimination Law were agreed by the States in 2002 and these were subsequently developed into a framework for the Island to be able to meet best practice and internationally accepted standards relating to all forms of discrimination. A sum of £500,000 has been allocated in 2007 to enable a Discrimination Law to be established in phases commencing with race in 2007, followed by further phases dealing with other forms of discrimination such as that based upon a persons sex, disability or age. It is proposed that a Discrimination Panel will be established, with administrative support, similar to the recently formed Employment Tribunal.
It is unlikely that all of the funding will be required in the first year following the introduction of the Law and it is intended that the balance of funds will be used to supplement the Prison budget in the short term, until the funding pressures are resolved.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
Although an additional £262,000 has been made available in 2007 to meet the cost of the Defence Contribution, there is still a shortfall in the budget required to meet the full cost in 2007 and thereafter. The only option appears to be for the Island to renegotiate the financial arrangements of the Agreement.
Full funding, amounting to £323,000 has been made available in 2008 to allow the States of Jersey Police to meet the cost of the implementation of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Jersey) Law (RIPL). This will also enable the Police to provide a level of advice and training to other States Departments in meeting the implications of the Law. Part year funding of £53,000 has been made available in 2007 and, as the implementation of the Law is essential before the introduction of the Human Rights Law, the Department has had to find the shortfall, amounting to approximately £250,000 from alternative resources under its control.
The Council of Ministers has given support to advancing the next phase of the Prison Re-Development Plan construction of a 135-space cell block and a multi-purpose hall into the capital programme for 2007. This has, in part, been accommodated by the further phasing of the funding allocated to the replacement Police Headquarters, construction of which is due to start on the Summerland site in February 2007.
Efficiency Savings 2007 to 2009
The Department has been able to find a proportion of its savings target by not allocating the additional funding for non- staff inflation. This is likely to continue, although the Department is pursuing a number of initiatives that will deliver savings, including a thorough review of the accommodation requirements of the Department, a review of the policy for vehicle replacement throughout all services and the cost of benefits allied to particular posts.
The Department is currently pursuing a number of options that will release accommodation and generate both revenue savings and one-off capital funds which are likely to be diverted to the corporate Property savings targets rather than be used to meet the funding pressures faced by the Departments front line services.
Given the high level of staff costs within the Department s budget, all Heads of Service continue to review Service delivery in order to identify further potential for efficiency savings. However, the relatively low age profile coupled with the length of service of front line staff is such that a significant amount will be required to meet incremental increases in grade in 2007. Further savings will in the first instance be diverted to staff budgets to ensure that these costs can be met.
Summary of three year position
The Department is gearing itself to deal with significant financial challenges over the next three years. Whereas the likelihood is that current service levels can be maintained within agreed cash limits, the improvements necessary at the Prison will require additional funds which may need to be met from reprioritisation within the States overall expenditure limits.

Housing
AIM
The provision of long term, sustainable and affordable housing to meet the needs of all residents.
Objectives
The core strategic objectives of the Housing Committee are to:
¥ contribute toward the management of housing demand;
¥ improve the management and long term sustainability of the States rental housing stock;
¥ assess and manage the ongoing demand for accommodation;
¥ improve security of tenure for tenants;
¥ improve affordability of accommodation by the introduction of a shared equity or similar scheme, initially targeting States tenants; and
¥ support the development and implementation of Income Support to enable those in need to afford accommodation appropriate to their needs.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
The structure and service delivery of the Housing Department will change significantly over the next three years. Already the Department has seen the transfer of housing legislation to the Population Office, which forms part of the Chief Minister s Department.
In 2007, rent subsidies will be incorporated into the new Income Support System that is being delivered by the Social Security Department.
Due to funding constraints and the increasing demand on the Department s revenue to provide funding for the rent subsidy schemes, there has been inadequate investment in the maintenance of the social housing stock over a number of years. To allow the provision of good standard accommodation now and for the future, two things are required, the first is some significant investment in refurbishing the stock, and the second is that the Department be allowed to retain sufficient of its income for maintenance purposes. The refurbishment programme will commence in 2007 with an allocation of £6 million from the Capital Programme. While this begins to address the immediate problem in respect of the refurbishment programme, the issue of adequate long term maintenance funding will need to be finally resolved.
The Department is committed to encouraging home ownership. Following on from the success of the sale of parts of the redeveloped Le Squez and Le Marais estates to tenants, housing will be looking at extending the scheme to allow tenants to purchase homes on other regenerated estates.
Strategic Plan and Resource Allocation Funding
The Housing Department has been awarded £600,000 for the anticipated growth in the demand for private sector rent rebate.
The housing revenue maintenance budget has been reduced by £190,000.
Summary of three year position
The Department will continue to improve the management and long term sustainability of the States rental housing stock.
The award of a rolling capital vote will allow the Department to plan a more adequate programme of maintenance and refurbishment on social housing.
SUMMARY OF KEY OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES AND KEY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR 2007 Objective 1: Improve the management and long term sustainability of the States rental housing stock.

Planning and Environment
AIM
A better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come including:
¥ a better environment at home and internationally, and sustainable use of natural resources;
¥ development that is sustainable and enables a thriving Island economy and community; and
¥ a high quality environment that can be enjoyed by all.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
The Minister will face major financial challenges in the years ahead most notably the development and implementation of the St Helier Development and Regeneration Strategy, to include the delivery of the Town Park, and the successful development of the St Helier Waterfront.
The introduction of the Planning and Building, Waste Management and Water Resources Law, the latter subject to States Members approval, are also significant pieces of work to be undertaken, as is the review of the Island Plan in 2007, which will impose additional financial burdens.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
The service reductions amounting to £399,900 will have an impact across the range of services within the Department s remit and include:
¥ a reduction in the number of staff involved with Planning and Building Control Enforcement (£43,000) and Building Control (£124,400) which will impact on the quality of service and significantly increases the risk of non-compliant work going undetected;
¥ a reduction in the Planning Policy Consultants Vote (£42,600) this service reduction will limit the ability of the Minister and/or Department to pursue policy initiatives arising from the Council of Ministers and/or Corporate Management Board; and
¥ a reduction in the number of staff providing regulatory, scientific and environmental advice (£189,900) which will result in reduced technical expertise and laboratory services.
Summary of three year position
With a reducing budget it will be challenging to achieve the Department s core aims and objectives whilst continuing to contribute towards corporate initiatives such as the resource allocation process and the requirement to achieve efficiency savings but the Minister is committed to ensuring value for money across all areas of the Department s expenditure.

Social Security
Helping people to achieve and maintain financial independence.
Objectives
¥ Support people to achieve and maintain an acceptable standard of living.
¥ Provide opportunities for higher skills and better employment.
¥ Help employers and employees to work well together for their mutual benefit and the economy of the Island.
¥ Deliver high quality services now and in the future.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
¥ It is proposed that a new integrated Income Support System will be introduced in May 2007. It will replace a number of benefits including Housing, Health Insurance Exceptions (HIE), Parish Welfare and Residential Care, Family Allowances, Attendance Allowances, Disablement Allowance, Childcare Allowance, Disability Transport Allowance and Milk at Reduced Rate. The 2007 budget includes the full year costs for the benefits and grants currently administered by the department, in practice these benefits will be incorporated into Income Support part way through the year.
¥ Parish welfare and residential care transferred to the Social Security Department in May 2006 as agreed under P66/2005 Machinery of Government: Relationship between the Parishes and the States . The transfer created a more equitable base for the funding of financial support and removed the financial burden of escalating expenditure. £12 million a year has been awarded for this transfer, including additional growth above inflation in recognition of the continuing pressures on expenditure in this area. This benefit will also be replaced within the Income Support System.
The new benefit structure will work toward the eradication of financial exclusion providing people with a minimum income relative to their situation and reducing dis-incentives to work. Income Support is designed to improve equity in the distribution of benefits making sure money goes to those most in need, through a fairer more transparent and accessible system.
Funding has been made available by the Treasury and Resources Minister to provide phased protection to those households who may be affected by the removal of existing benefits.
¥ Supplementation to the Social Security Fund is predicted to grow up to £54.7 million in 2007, reflecting recent patterns of migration, wage levels, and employment. Variations in these patterns, for example, an increase in the number of lower paid people in the Island, would increase this expenditure. The position continues to be monitored.
Strategic Plan and Resource Allocation Funding
A total of £20 million has been made available by the Minister to provide phased protection to households who may be affected by the introduction of the new Income Support System. £3 million will be available in 2007, £5 million in 2008 and £4 million in 2009 the balance made available in 2010 and in 2011.
In 2008 an estimated £1.75 million will be provided to protect those in receipt of income support from the effect of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
£1.4 million in 2007 and a further £1.5 million in 2008 have been awarded to meet the increased costs of welfare and residential care transferred from the Parishes. Jersey s changing demographic structure, primarily that of an ageing population will put further funding pressures on this area in the future.
The States agreed in principle, through an amendment to the Strategic Plan, the introduction of Winter Fuel Allowances for pensioners. The Department will, later in 2006, bring forward options for such a scheme to be introduced in 2007, subject to resources being made available.
Summary of three year position
2007 to 2009 will be a time of change for the Department. The restructuring of social welfare under the new Income Support System will provide a more streamlined and equitable distribution of benefit, ensuring that money goes to those most in need.

Strategic Plan Initiatives
- Monitor actuarial predictions and then prepare and start to introduce a co-ordinated plan, including a review of pension provision, to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by ageing population by 2010 (SOC SEC).
- Undertake a comprehensive review of the Island s existing health insurance scheme by 2010 (SOC SEC).
2.2.5 Introduce in early 2007 a winter fuel payment, based on the UK system, for all pensioners resident in Jersey (SOC SEC).
3.1.1 Extend existing legislation to provide a comprehensive range of basic rights to employees and employers by moving into the second phase of employment reform, as approved by the States, starting in 2008 with redundancy rights and the protection of employees involved in business mergers and acquisitions (TUPE) and then addressing maternity rights, equal pay, flexible working and family friendly policies (including an investigation into issues in respect of paternity rights) (SOC SEC).
3.1.4 Develop and implement policies during 2006 to ensure that planning and resource priorities reflect the needs of people with disabilities (SOC SEC).
- Determine the priorities for future development of the Social Insurance system as reported in Policy Review of the Social Insurance System in Jersey Interim Report by undertaking public consultation and developing future strategies for the States to consider by 2007 (SOC SEC).
- Introduce a unified Income Support system that supports people in times of need and promotes work by mid 2007 (SOC SEC).
- Continue to develop programmes to support people with long-term health conditions to retain, and where necessary, find suitable employment, both directly and in partnership with other providers by 2008 (SOC SEC).
Transport and Technical
Services
AIM
The Transport and Technical Services Department aims to provide a number of diverse services which support the infrastructure and environment of the Island which will lead to:
¥ a less wasteful community working harder together to reduce, reuse and recycle efficiently and effectively;
¥ unavoidable waste and effluent managed so there is minimum impact on the environment;
¥ a safe, reliable, well maintained, efficient and fairer network for all on-island travel, that does minimal harm to the environment, contributes to the economy and promotes social inclusion, health and community safety; and
¥ attractive and well maintained gardens, playing fields and open spaces, integrity and cleanliness of roads, pathways, beaches, sea defences and public amenities.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
The Department faces major challenges in the years ahead the implementation of the Solid Waste Strategy, further development of a sustainable travel and transport system in addition to maintaining the Island s key infrastructure of roads, sewers and sea defences.
The significant issues facing the Department continue to be:
¥ the additional annual revenue costs of £450,000 per annum required to meet the department proposed recycling targets. This additional revenue will be subject to a growth bid during the next revenue allocation process. In the interim, the recycling initiatives will be rolled out subject to availability of funds; and
¥ the increasing maintenance costs of the incinerator as it comes to the end of its useful life, which results in having to stockpile and bale refuse for storage and disposal until a new plant has been commissioned.
In 2009, the existing bus contract will expire and the department will begin the tender process for the new bus contract in 2007.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
Service reductions amounting to £210,800 were allocated to the Department during the resource allocation process. These service reductions will potentially be achieved by combining the knackers yard and the OTMS culling scheme which will enable the department to provide a full on-Island service for what is currently exported and also reduce the subsidy for animal product disposal and a reduction in the standard of out-of town highways and footpath cleaning.
Efficiency Savings 2007 to 2009
The Department will make efficiency savings amounting to £417,600 through a range of measures but especially in the Parks and Garden area which has implemented a five year plan to reduce its budget by £730,000.
Summary of three year position
The Minister is pleased to present a budget which balances the ability to achieve its core aims and objectives whilst continuing to contribute towards corporate initiatives such as the resource allocation process and the requirement to achieve efficiency savings.

Treasury and Resources
Treasury and Resources
AIM
To support the delivery of the States strategic objectives by maintaining sound and sustainable public finances and effectively managing the financial and property assets of the States.
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
In contrast to the budget of the former Finance and Economics Committee, the budget of the Treasury and Resources Department is now specific to its core functions. The budgets that were previously included for non ministerial activities and other non specific budgets have been transferred in order to align the remit of the department to directing taxation policy, ensuring efficient and effective use of all States assets, income and expenditure accounting and planning and the allocation and monitoring of public sector manpower.
Major initiatives to be funded from the budget include:
¥ implementing GST;
¥ implementing the 0/10 Corporate Tax regime;
¥ implementing 20 means 20 ; and
¥ developing long term capital planning and maintenance for States assets.
This takes place against a backdrop of requiring efficiency savings in the States finance function of over £1.1 million by the end of 2007.
The Treasury and Resources Department is also due to consolidate the property maintenance budgets from all non trading Departments (except Social Housing) into Jersey Property Holdings in 2007. The budget as presented represents an interim stage as functions, and their associated budgets, are still to be finalised, and at present remain with their current departments. The programme for bringing forward proposals for a Stabilisation Fund has been accelerated by the amendment to transfer into such a fund the £32 million available from the Dwelling Houses Loans Fund.
Outcomes from Strategic Plan Review
The review of the Strategic Plan led to £1 million growth funding being allocated for the running costs of the Fiscal Strategy. The main cost of the Strategy relates to the operation of the Goods and Services Tax. This requires funding for an additional ten staff, IT systems and associated overheads.
Resource Allocation Process 2006 to 2008
The Department has agreed to cease the grant paid to the Waterfront Enterprise Board by 2008. A consequent reduction of £80,000 has been made in the 2007 budget. The Board will achieve their future funding needs from ongoing receipts.
As an outcome of the 2006 to 2008 Resource Allocation Process it was agreed to reduce costs in Jersey Property Holdings by £45,000 in 2007. This is in addition to the efficiency savings target of £800,000 applied to Jersey Property Holdings for 2007.
Efficiency Savings 2007 to 2009
The Finance Transformation Project was tasked with reducing the costs of the States finance function by £1.1 million over the three year period 2005 to 2007. The transformation subsequently achieved £500,000 in 2005, £200,000 in 2006 and is on schedule to achieve £400,000 in 2007.
Whilst the cost of finance provision has been reduced a number of areas have been improved:
¥ efficiency and consistency in transaction processes;
¥ a revised financial control framework;
¥ standardised automated reporting; and
¥ clear links between strategic objectives and budgeting and accounting for funds.
Jersey Property Holdings was established in 2006 to centralise the management of the States estate. It is tasked with making £1.5 million of annual revenue savings by 2009. This is an ambitious target and will be dependent on a corporate approach to the centralisation of the function, utilising subsequent economies of scale and a rationalisation of the States property portfolio. Jersey Property Holdings is also tasked with achieving capital receipts of £700,000 in 2007, rising to £4 million in 2009.
The Treasury also leads the Procurement element of the Change Programme. This element is tasked to achieve £1.9 million efficiency savings by 2008. It is the second largest element of the programme but has so far negotiated significant savings for all States departments and achieved its 2005 and 2006 savings targets.
Summary of three year position
The three year period until 2009 is perhaps the most challenging in recent years. The timely implementation of the Fiscal Strategy is the most significant objective of the Department and is key to the ongoing prosperity of the Island.
Several milestones relating to the Change Programme set for Finance, Property and Procurement have already been achieved with over £1 million saved on an ongoing basis so far. The efficiency targets until 2009 demand that a further £7.4 million is achieved; the Treasury and Resources Department remains committed to delivering these savings without compromising the quality of service.
SUMMARY OF KEY OBJECTIVES AND KEY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR 2007
Objective 1: To implement the agreed Fiscal Strategy to meet the challenges to States revenues in the run up to the
move to a 0/10 Corporate Tax structure.

Strategic Plan Initiatives
- Ensure that States income matches or exceeds States expenditure over the economic cycle (T&R).
- Retain any budget surpluses that occur before the introduction of the 0/10 tax changes (due in 2010) in the Consolidated Fund until the extent of any structural deficit as a result of the new fiscal strategy becomes clear with these surplus funds being used to maintain revenue and capital spending in the shorttermwhilst any structural deficit is addressed (T&R).
- Improve overall fiscal framework by the immediate establishment of a Stabilisation Fund, into which the balance of excess funds over liabilities held currently in the Dwelling Houses Loans Fund will be transferred as they become available (T&R).
- Forward for approval by the States detailed proposals for the control of inflation to update the current inflation strategy, with the proposals to include details of the future use of the balance in the Stabilisation Fund and the operation and long term use of the Fund which will be broadly as
described in the Economic Growth Plan (P.38/2005) as adopted by the States. The proposals will also cover the role of fiscal measures, particularly GST rates, in this context (T&R/ED).
- Complete implementation of the Fiscal Strategy 2006-2010 (T&R).
- By the end of 2006 agree a plan to secure the future of Fort Regent (T&R).
- Undertake a scoping study for the future of the harbour areas at St. Aubin and Gorey, having regard to their unique character and setting. This will include a technical and financial appraisal for any proposed schemes as well as a conservation plan and an environmental impact assessment covering both land and marine habitats. The cost of this study will initially be funded from the Central Planning Budget, with any advance repaid should such a funded scheme progress (P&E/T&R).
- By the end of 2006 agree a plan to secure the future of Fort Regent (T&R).
- Introduce a Goods and Services Tax (GST) by early 2008 which will remain fixed at 3% for a minimum of 3 years unless the States agree further exclusions (T&R).
- Introduce the 0/10 corporate tax reforms and related provisions with a draft Law approved by the States Assembly by 31 December 2006 (T&R).
- A phased reduction of tax allowances and reliefs for those with higher incomes with the draft Law approved by the States Assembly by 31 December 2006 (T&R).
- Bring forward firm recommendation on the possibility of the States paying rates on its properties by 2007 (T&R).
- Publish annual performance reports and present the Annual Business Plan in a form that reveals the full cost of providing services, including output targets (T&R).
- Ensure that the revenue consequences of capital projects and the legislation programme are fully quantified, and that the ongoing costs of new or amended legislation are fully understood and provided for (T&R).
- Agree a policy for the Strategic Reserve (T&R).
- Fully implement the efficiency programme which delivers savings of £20 million per annum by 2009 and continue to identify and implement all possible efficiency savings (CM/T&R).
- Implement the Head of Profession model for the finance function within the States with financial savings of £1.13 million by 2008 (T&R).
6.2.6 Implement an action plan to ensure States 2007 accounts are GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) compliant (T&R).
- Secure efficiency through improved procurement arrangements for goods and services to achieve efficiency savings of £1.9 million by 2009 (T&R).
- Implement and test a full business continuity programme for the Income Tax Office by 31 December 2006 (T&R).
Non-Ministerial States Funded Bodies
The Public Finances (Jersey) Law 2005 defines the Non Ministerial Bodies as being a States funded body for which no Minister is responsible to the States for its administration or funding. Each Non Ministerial Body has an appointed accounting officer personally responsible for the proper financial management of its resources. The application of the Public Finances Law applies in the same manner as to Ministerial Departments except in instances of disagreement with regard to a budget offered to a Non Ministerial Body by the Council of Ministers.
In such circumstances the offered budget and the requested budget should be published in the States Business Plan with a disclosure from the Council stating why a variation is recommended.
No such disagreements are included in this Business Plan. The Non Ministerial Bodies were offered budgets inline with the financial framework of the Council, including inflation funding and efficiency savings. It is appreciated that all Non Ministerial Bodies have accepted these offers having recognised both the principles and budgetary constraints of the Council.
It is recognised that there are particular and individual financial pressures within each of these bodies and the Council of Ministers will include consideration of these pressures in subsequent reviews of the financial framework.
The legal services budgets contain estimates for court and case costs. By its nature, expenditure in Court and Case Costs is an unpredictable element in the budget. New procedures have been put in place to monitor expenditure in this area which will enable notice to be given at an early stage if expenditure appears likely to exceed the budgetary allowances.
Notable increases in budgets have incurred in the following:
Comptroller and Auditor General:
The 2006 budget of the Comptroller and Auditor General has increased by £120,000. The Council was mindful that the 2006 budget for this new function would need review in light of a period of operation and therefore has increased the budget in recognition of the full cost of this function. Of this increase, the Council of Ministers has proposed that £109,000 is found from reductions in other Departments budgets such as to remain within the proposed spending limits.
Financial Summary
The budget for all the Non Ministerial Bodies represents 4.5% of total States revenue expenditure. The budget has increased by 4% on 2006, inline with the financial framework of the Council of Ministers.

Economic Development Jersey Airport
AIM
To provide an Airport that strives to meet:
¥ the economic and social needs of the Island;
¥ the expectations of passengers by providing facilities that are equal to, or better than, those found in comparable UK and European regional airports; and
¥ the expectations of airlines in handling their aircraft and passengers in a safe and secure environment. FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
2007 to 2009 will bring major challenges and opportunities for Jersey Airport. The period will be influenced by a number of key areas and will be characterised by:
¥ a need for Jersey Airport to be competitive in its charging regime in order to ensure existing airline services are sustainable and growth is encouraged;
¥ major capital investments in critical operational infrastructure;
¥ a focus on safety and security compliance;
¥ improved amenity and customer service; and
¥ the development and progressive implementation of a strong corporate ethic including adherence to best practice governance principles.
These elements will variously have impacts on operating and capital costs as the airport comes into line with international best practice. To help offset some of these expenses, attention will be applied to alternative revenue streams with a focus on non-aeronautical or commercial activities.
All of these factors are dominant in independent reviews being conducted of the airport s strategy, structure and operation. These studies, which are due for completion by the end of July 2006, aim to ensure Jersey Airport is in the best possible position to meet the significant challenges of the coming years.
The outcomes will be vested in a new strategic direction for the airport which is consistent with States strategic plan. The Jersey Airport Business Plan will detail how the airport will achieve its objectives in concert with its key stakeholders in the tourism and finance sectors.
Some improvements are already underway, including the finalisation of plans to improve the flow of departing passengers through the security process. This in turn will allow greater dwell time for outbound passengers within a revitalised retail environment.
It is initiatives such as these that aim to provide complementary solutions to operational efficiency and diversification of revenue.
SUMMARY OF KEY OBJECTIVES AND KEY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR 2007
Objective 1: To consolidate and then grow the number of passengers travelling through the airport.
Performance/success criteria:
¥ Consolidate current business.
¥ Incremental annual passenger growth in non summer period.
Strategic Plan Commitment(s): 1.5, 6.5 and 6.5.2
Objective 2: To maximise the number of sustainable routes to and from the Island.
Performance/success criteria:
¥ Retention or expansion of existing routes.
¥ New routes introduced (UK and European).
Strategic Plan Commitment(s): 1.6 and 6.5
Objective 3: To safeguard the Airport s surrounding environment, reflecting our commitment to meet or exceed legal
requirements, prevent pollution and continually improve our environmental performance.
Performance/success criteria:
¥ No significant pollution incidents.
Strategic Plan Commitment(s): 4.4 and 6.5
Objective 4: To undertake a fundamental review of the operation, management and ownership of Jersey Airport in order
to optimise its performance and benefit to the Island.
Performance/success criteria:
¥ Production of Business and Financial Plans during 2006, that receive the support and relevant Ministerial and States approvals, and support of stakeholders.

Economic Development Jersey Harbours
Jersey Harbours
AIM
Jersey Harbours aspires to be recognised for providing modern port and coastguard services with guaranteed long term viability by:
- using unique combined knowledge and experience to better understand, meet and balance the complex and changing demands and expectations of customers and staff;
- providing competitive commercial and community services which best respond to the different needs of all customers; and
- positively contributing to Jersey s economic development. FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
Financial Implications 2007 to 2009
Jersey Harbours budget is based on the Strategic Financial Forecast (SFF) which provides a model for achieving long term profitability and viability. Included in the 2007 budget are new income streams arising from property which will take Sales to over £13 million and abnormal maintenance costs which cannot be classed as capital expenditure but are critical to the sustainability of the port taking expenditure up to £9.5 million.
The Financial Return payable to the States in 2007 (£366,000) is 24% of Harbours Profit before Interest and Tax as calculated in the SFF. This is a 44% increase on the 2006 Budgeted Return resulting from profit on new business.
2007 is an interim period where changes initiated in 2006 will be bedding in and new opportunities for business development will be identified.
Efficiency Savings 2007 to 2009
Excluding the abnormal maintenance costs, operating expenditure is budgeted to reduce by £388,000 in real terms between 2007 and 2009 with the aim of achieving a 10% reduction on 2005 operating expenditure by 2010.
Part of these savings will be delivered through the support agreement with Transport and Technical Services for the provision of Port Engineering Services. The cost of transferring Port Engineering staff to Transport and Technical Services will be met through the delivery of these savings and income from property freed up by the movement of staff from Harbour Works at La Collette. The cost is represented in the 2007 budget as a direct annual payment to Transport and Technical Services of £339,000 which continues through to 2009.
Summary of three year position
Assuming the capital programme goes ahead as planned, and subject to the necessary approvals being obtained, Harbours profitability should improve steadily with growth mainly in the area of Port Estate. Cash flows are forecast to be positive subject to significant changes in interest rates and inflation.
The East of Albert Masterplanning programme, in which Harbours is a key stakeholder, will potentially lead to significant developments in and around the harbour which will influence Port Operations and Marine Leisure business over the next 20 years. The key objective of the Masterplan output will be a positive impact on Jersey s economy.
One of Jersey Harbours key objectives is to ensure that its business plan is informed by, and supports, those of our major customers. Doing this will enable us to provide adequate facilities for them in the years ahead. An example of this is the likely increase in the size of fuel tankers which will require infrastructure and operational changes to ensure their ability to berth in Jersey.

Transport and Technical Services Jersey Car Parking
Jersey Car Parking
Aim and Objectives
The Car Park Trading Account was established in January 1998 with the agreement of the then Finance and Economics Committee to provide for both the ongoing running expenses of all public car parks as well as future capital developments and major refurbishments.
The annual maintenance and policing of car parks is undertaken through the Operating Account using the income derived from paycards, season tickets, car parks rental and excess charge notices. In addition, a payment of £1.58 million per annum is made to Transport and Technical Services Department in respect of notional rent for the multi-storey car parks.
In 2005, the then Environment and Public Services Committee published its Sustainable Travel and Transport Plan. In January 2006, the Council of Ministers approved this plan as a high level framework on which to develop some specific and detailed proposals for a number of key areas, including parking. In addition to this work, the St Helier Development and Regeneration Strategy has been launched which will include, as one of its key deliverables:
A parking (and related traffic management) strategy for the town which will set out the strategic direction for public parking provision, servicing and management, with specific proposals for provision and funding requirements.
Clearly, these two initiatives will have a major bearing on the future direction of public parking in Jersey and, for this reason, only major maintenance projects have been included in the forward capital plan. Once the strategy has been approved and developed into the Action Plan, a revised capital programme will be proposed and incorporated within a revised 25 year financial plan to assess the funding implications.
The financing of all parking related initiatives will be via the Car Park Trading Fund.
The net operating surplus for the Trading Fund has been forecast at £754,000 an increase of £61,800 or 8% on the 2006 budget due partly to a forecast increase in paycard and season ticket income.
Capital Expenditure in 2007 is forecasted at £1,000,000 representing concrete repairs on Patriotic Street Car Park.

Transport and Technical Services Jersey Fleet Management
Jersey Fleet Management Trading Account was established as a trading operation on 1 January 2006 to provide States departments with vehicles and mobile plant at a cost effective hire rate. It provides five functions these are shown below:
¥ Fleet Management
Specialist Fleet management services that are available to all States departments in respect of advice on selection, procurement, maintenance and disposal of vehicles and plant.
¥ Contract Services
A service that provides comprehensive vehicle leasing packages to States departments that offer all the financial and efficiency benefits of corporate fleet management.
¥ Workshop Services
For those departments who own vehicles and plant the Section s Bellozanne Workshops are able to offer experience in servicing and repairs covering the complete range from cars, light and heavy commercials, heavy mobile plant, agricultural and horticultural machinery.
¥ Fuel Services
This service consists of security key activated self-service pumps sited at La Collette and Bellozanne Depots. The price recharged to States departments reflects the advantageous contract prices obtained under the States Fuel Contracts and currently shows a saving over retail forecourt prices of approximately 15% - 20%.
¥ Short Term Hire
In addition to its contract hire agreements the section also has a selected range of vehicles and plant available for short-term spot hire on a daily rate basis.
In 2007, the Blue Light Work Shop will be transferring to Jersey Fleet Management which should result in synergies being achieved by the amalgamation of the two workshops.
The net operating surplus for the Trading Fund has been forecast at £24,400 a decrease of £30,700 or 53% on the 2006 budget. Capital Expenditure in 2007 is forecasted at £100,000 representing the estimated increase of the value of the trading operation s fixed assets.

TREASURY AND RESOURCES (PROPERTY HOLDINGS) - LAND ACQUISITION VOTE
Department s Submission:
The Acquisition of Land - Major Reserve had an unallocated budget sum of some £2.8 million at 1 January 2006. It is considered that this balance could be further reduced and the proposed Capital Programme includes a transfer of £1 million in 2007 to support funding allocations to capital projects in those years.

Department s Submission:
The former Foul Sewer Reconstruction, Sea Defence Strategy and Highway Infrastructure capital allocations have been consolidated into one allocation for the period 2007 2011. The new Infrastructure vote will comprise of the following:
Foul Sewer Reconstruction
Reconstruction work is required to maintain the existing sewerage network in sound working order and prevent deterioration of this fundamental Island asset. Essential work is undertaken to maintain the structural and hydraulic integrity of the sewerage system. The Island will benefit from reduced risk of sewer collapse. There is no provision for sewer extension in this reduced budget allocation.
Sea Defence Strategy
The Island s sea defences are integral to the safe maintenance of the Island s infrastructure and protect and maintain large areas of public and private property. As such, they should be considered a priority in terms of short and long term maintenance if ultimate failure or collapse is to be avoided in the future.
Highway s Infrastructure
Funds will be allocated to continue the implementation of the results of the pavement management system, in particular, strengthening and reconstruction of existing highways and supporting structures and installation of new road drainage where appropriate.
Bellozanne Odour Control
The sewage treatment process commences at First Tower where there is a large underground sewage pumping station that receives sewage from the east of the Island, town centre and west of the Island from where it is pumped under pressure to Bellozanne Valley Treatment Works. The incoming sewage then undergoes a series of screening and settlement in open tanks, the majority of which have the ability to liberate odour.
The first phase of establishing the scale of a problem will be to undertake an odour survey which will require specialist contractors to be brought in from the UK. Following assessment, a preliminary engineering appraisal will then have to be carried out to establish the scale of the enclosure required and whether it will merely consist of covers on top of a tank or whether a full building structure has to be constructed to enclose the entire facility.
The final and complex stage will be to undertake a full engineering and hazard assessment of each area to determine whether or not it has to be classified as a hazardous zone. It is only at this time that it will be possible to accurately determine the true financial cost of providing enclosures to the Works. Following this level of detail, the final stage will be then to design a large odour control unit with associated ducting to extract all foul air from within the enclosures through the odour control unit and then exhaust to atmosphere.

£11,500,000 2011 |
Department s Submission:
Energy from Waste (EfW) Plant - Having reduced residual waste as much as possible, efficient, economic and reliable ways of dealing with what remains need to be found; one solution is to recover heat and electricity for the Island. As public health and environmental obligations are vital and Jersey s waste storage and disposal options are so limited, the chosen method of recovery must demonstrate that it can be successfully and reliably operated to the highest standards. The current plant is old, unreliable and fails to meet modern emissions standards and it must be replaced as soon as possible.
The Bellozanne Energy from Waste Plant will be replaced with a modern, appropriately sized facility of a technology still to be decided, by 2010.
The overall outturn cost for the replacement of the EfW Plant, together with ancillary civil engineering works, the relocation of the Refuse Handling Plant, demolition of the existing plant and all associated fees is likely to be in the order of £84 million. These costs exclude any financing charges, which would vary depending on the procurement route chosen.
It is not possible to accommodate a project of this magnitude within the funding constraints of the 2007 - 2011 capital programme. It has, therefore, been agreed that the works will be financed from borrowing outside the Consolidated Fund, but funded by repayments from the annual allocation to capital at the rate of an average £10 million each year from 2008.

£2,841,000 2011 |
Department s Submission: By supporting P198/2002, the States agreed to meet the cost of the Airport below ground works from General Revenues. The works are front loaded with a requirement to make available around £25 million to undertake runway and apron repairs from 2007. The Airport had a balance within its Trading Fund of some £27 million at 31 December 2005, however, this will be required to fund the above ground works requirement. In view of the States commitment and the urgent nature of the works, it is proposed that the allocation of £2,841,000 that commenced in 2006 be maintained throughout the five year programme 2007 - 2011.

The proposed allocation of £24 million over the four years 2007 - 2010 replaces the previously agreed £15.2 million for States social housing in last years Annual Business Plan. A further £6 million is proposed for 2011.
A programme of works is being developed by the Housing Department, which will incorporate capital receipts received from any stock disposals in addition to the allocated funding.

Department s Submission: Health ICT Systems: A new line of funding of £12 million is included from 2007 - 2010 to meet the lowest estimated cost of replacement Health IT systems. The company currently providing Health s ICT systems is leaving the market place. The situation was highlighted during last year s capital resource allocation process but at that time details on cost and programme were not well developed. Initial indications suggesting that the replacement cost could be in the region of £15 million. A sum of £12 million has been included in the forward capital programme, which represents the lower end of the cost estimate. The position will need to be carefully reviewed as more information is obtained and, if necessary, adjustments made to the future capital programme. As this item is of such value and significance to Health s business it has been shown separately from the Corporate ICT funding stream, but will need to conform to all Corporate ICT protocols and requirements.

EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE
ST. PETERS SCHOOL £4,840,000
Department s Submission:
St Peter s school currently suffers from two key problems: (a) the external fabric of the building is in a poor state and in need of major refurbishment and (b) the accommodation provided by the school buildings, when compared against educational standards, is inadequate for the modern curriculum. The phased refurbishment works will replace the buildings flat roofs, establish seven full size classrooms, a new nursery class, provide for special needs education, and create facilities for staff and parents.

Department s Submission:
The current Police Headquarters at Rouge Bouillon is failing to meet its operational requirements. The building is structurally and functionally obsolescent and does not meet the requirements in respect of operational efficiency and service. Currently the States of Jersey Police operate from eighteen different locations. This proposal will house all departments under one roof to the benefit of police efficiency and effectiveness.
This second tranche of funding, when added to funds previously voted in 2005 and the third Tranche in 2009, provides for an overall budget of £20,065,000.

PRISON CELL BLOCK £9,016,000
Department s Submission:
The proposed scheme is part of the rolling programme to upgrade prison buildings and facilities in compliance with Human Rights Legislation and other requirements.
The outcome of the recent HM Inspector of Prison s report led to a review of the proposed capital works programme at the Prison. The revised proposals seek to address the most significant problems of unsuitable accommodation and a lack of a meeting/sports hall in 2007, with additional educational/workshop facilities and improvements to the visits area timetabled for 2010.
In agreement with the Home Affairs Department, the acceleration of the main cell block development from 2009 to 2007 has, in part, been accommodated by the further phasing of the funding allocated to the replacement Police Station and Headquarters.
This revised scheme is for the provision of a unit with a maximum capacity of 135 beds and control area. Additional Land Required No Land Available Yes - in existing compound Capital Expenditure

This project is primarily concerned with remedial works to the main original Highlands College Block. It proposes to replace the roof coverings and repair the external fa ade and fenestration so that the external envelope is wind and weather tight and in doing so will eliminate ingress of water that causes long term damage. It also includes major internal building works to provide fire compartmentalisation together with an overhaul of building services. In addition to these repairs, some internal remodelling and modernisation of floors plans is required, which will include making better provision for the disabled together with the installation of a new lift.

SLUDGE TREATMENT PHASE 2: DRYER £2,974,000
Department s Submission:
The sewage treatment process produces sludge as a by-product that has to be disposed of. The previous Environment & Public Services Committee s policy has been a combination of drying the digested sludge and incinerating it as well as disposing of a large quantity in liquid form to land. Land disposal has been subject to many changes over recent years due to the supermarket protocols being imposed on the local industry. As a result of the changes, the existing sludge drier requires updating to ensure it provides a safe treatment process for the sludge and additional plant needs to be installed to ensure Jersey has reliable modern and efficient treatment for its sewage.
This scheme, combined with a sludge thickener to be met from previously allocated funds, will provide the necessary pre-treatment to sewage sludge to allow it to be thickened and dried before disposal to land or ultimately incineration if the land bank is not available.

PRISON VISITS £1,178,000
Department s Submission:
The project aims to significantly improve the Prison Visits area and its facilities, which were criticised in the latest report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons:
The visits room was small, cramped and needed decoration... There were no facilities for visitors to buy refreshments, and no facilities for children. The room could accommodate 14 visits per session. It had two long rows of fixed tables with two fixed chairs on one side for visitors and one for the prisoner on the other. Seating for visitors was packed close together. When fully booked, there could be up to 28 adult visitors and an unpredictable number of children. This meant inadequate space between visitors and minimised privacy. It was crowded and noisy.

PERMANENT RE-USE/RECYCLE CENTRE £1,518,000
Department s Submission:
The existing Bellozanne site provides a facility for both commercial and domestic vehicles delivering bulky waste. Opening hours are extended into the weekends for domestic users. Mixing large commercial vehicles with private cars on a busy site (often over 500 vehicle movements per day) is not ideal, and the site layout allows few opportunities for segregating different types of waste.
A new permanent Reuse and Recycling Centre, purpose-built for safe and convenient public access and providing receptacles for a range of separate materials, was approved by he States in the Waste Strategy in July 2005. Model sites exist in other countries, with good signage and vehicular access and features such as a reuse shed, where working appliances and other items can be deposited for others to put back into service if they choose.
The proposed operation would include bulking and baling facilities for the efficient storage of recyclables destined for off-Island reprocessors. Materials collected from the bring bank system would also be managed here. Ideally this facility would be located near the main port which would allow larger vehicles to be used for exporting the recycled materials, thus maximising efficiency.

INERT WASTE DISPOSAL SITE - PLANNING AND DESIGN £750,000
Department s Submission:
Jersey generates over 200,000 tonnes of inert waste in each year. To provide a smooth transition from the La Collette phase 2 land reclamation site to a new facility, the new facility must be operational by 2015 (based on waste arisings from 2000).
The existing La Collette 2 site retaining wall and associated works cost £26 million to construct over a 30 month period from 1993 to 1996.
The Island needs a facility to safely dispose of inert waste; this has traditionally involved marine land reclamation. The proposed funding is to undertake a feasibility assessment to determine the most appropriate location for the new facility, produce fully costed options and initiate the associated planning and design works.

The original sludge digestion plant was replaced in 1989 and has a design life of 20 years. The plant undergoes a continuous maintenance programme in order to keep it operational. Inspections carried out in 2002 revealed that the plant is nearing the end of its operational lifespan and will require complete refurbishment in 2011.
The original four Sewage Treatment Works (STW) final tanks (numbers 1 to 4) were built in 1959. Further tanks were added at later dates and there are now twelve final settlement tanks in total. The plant undergoes a continuous maintenance programme in order to keep it operational, however the original four tanks are nearing the end of their operational lifespan and will require complete refurbishment in 2011.

Summary of Key ICT Projects: Description and Impact on ICT Strategy
Projects Description and Benefits
Network Infrastructure Installation and operation of a corporate high-speed,
resilient and secure data and voice network.
Hardware Replacement Following the re-organisation of the management of ICT Accrual and Office across the States carried out in 2004/5, CMD-IS is Systems Upgrade responsible for funding the maintenance of the majority of
States PCs and servers both hardware and software.
Data Storage Consolidation of the corporate data storage environment. Consolidation This project will provide a storage area network for the
States of Jersey to make better use of capacity, reduce the management overhead associated with having to backup data in many different places and provide a much more resilient data environment by spreading data over more than one physical location.
Server Consolidation Consolidate and rationalise the corporate server
environment. This project will reduce the number of
servers from 250 to approximately 100. Middleware A system which allows information sharing between
applications.
Document and Records The deployment of a corporate document and records Management management solution for the States of Jersey.
H&SS Systems Some of the systems currently used by Health and Social Replacement Services are more than 20 years old. They are critical tools
in providing healthcare for the Island but the existing supplier is withdrawing from the health market.
Goods and Services Tax A new system to support the calculation and collection of Support System GST from 2008.
VOIP Telephone System The ability to communicate effectively and at reasonable
cost is as important for the States as it is for any organisation. As the States is moving towards a much more unified approach to customer service, it needs a modern internal telephone environment.
The new VoIP telephone system harnesses the existing data network thereby removing the additional cost of interdepartmental calls.
Customer Information Required to support the work of the Customer Service
Centre, this system will log all appropriate customer service requests to ensure their timely and efficient resolution.
Impact on ICT Strategy if not undertaken
This is a critical service. Failure to provide this service will result in the States data network being
switched off.
The corporate and departmental lines of business applications that departments use to deliver their services rely on this platform and so it is vital that
the PCs and servers which comprise this infrastructure are well-maintained and adequate for the demands placed upon them.
Without regular ongoing updates, the States would have to make large investments in both money and time at five to six year intervals to modernise its ICT.
If this project is not undertaken, approximately 10
additional staff will be required to manage an
inefficient storage environment, resulting in
unavoidable costs estimated at £250,000 per year by 2009.
Estimated annual costs of £170,000 relating to electricity, floor space, air-conditioning etc. will continue. Also, the cost of replacing a large number of servers will continue.
This project will enable systems that were never designed to share data to do so and is required
for a number of other projects such as the Customer Service Centre, JD Edwards Invoice Scanning, Records Management and other compliance projects.
This ongoing project is depended upon by other
areas, including the Customer Service Centre, Records Management and other (unfunded) projects.
There will be no support for the systems that Jersey
runs; any problems thereafter will directly affect patient care.
Without suitable new information systems, the
calculation and collection of GST will require considerably more staff and may not even be practicable.
Today, there are more than 30 separate telephone
switchboards in use across the States. The solution
is the replacement of this mixture of systems by a single States-wide telephone service, which will
contribute to real savings expected to amount to
about £440,000 per year.
The core information system in any future improvements to customer service in the States, this
system paves the way to remove the need to repeat
requests for the same basic information such as
name, address and telephone number etc. to
multiple departments.

Provide a new Driving Licence system for the States of The existing driving licence system is ageing and Jersey. sits on a technical platform that is no longer
supported. Also, Jersey has to move to a different driving licence standard in common with the UK and Europe. Work is underway with Home Affairs and the Parishes to replace the current system.
Implementation of a number of small departmental These funds are committed to departments. projects (at Planning, Fire and Rescue Service and
Viscounts).
Ongoing capital projects managed by CMD-IS, e.g. These projects have already commenced and most
¥ Business Continuity, are due for completion in 2006.
¥ GIS (the Island s digital map and related systems such
as the Land and Property Index and address database)
Business Continuity - Business Continuity facilities are essential to mitigate significant business risks to the States of Jersey.
Address Database - The States currently has over 200 different name and address databases, and all of them are inaccurate, to an extent. The task of maintaining these records is significant for the States. To resolve this, a system to hold an official States list of addresses has been developed and will act as the single address repository, allowing other systems to link to this by means of a single code. By aligning the States systems in this way, not only does it reduce the future address maintenance overhead, but also provides an automatic link to the new digital map and aerial photograph. The accuracy of address data across the organisation will improve as effort is focused on maintaining a single data set rather than many.
Property
From 1 January 2006, the Property Holdings department took over responsibility for the States land and property other than Social Housing and that managed by the States Trading Operations. This portfolio represents a significant investment for the Island and must be managed efficiently and effectively.

Hue Street/Dumaresq Street Site, St Helier (PBA 12/338/1-3)
Description
A site which is used for car parking car park A (18 spaces) being let to Deutsche Bank, car park B (18 spaces) being let to BG Romeril Ltd, and car-park C being operated by Transport and Technical Services for public use (27 spaces).
The site is split into two parts by an accessway which is in shared ownership between the public and BG Romeril Ltd. The site area is approximately: car park A 353 sq m
car park B 313 sq m
car park C 575 sq m
accessway 151 sq m
total: 1,392 sq m
Initially it is proposed to sell only part of the site, comprising all of car park B and part of car park C.
Location
The site fronts onto Hue Street and partly onto Dumaresq Street (see attached location plan).
Current/previous use and any special features
As mentioned above, the site is used as car-parking, partly for private use and partly for public use.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
This site has long been identified as being suitable for disposal/development, and negotiations have been taking place with BG Romeril Ltd for a number of years to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
The negotiations with BG Romeril Ltd to date have been based on the principle of the company ceding its shared ownership of the accessway to the public, along with a capital payment, in exchange for part of the site to create a new unloading access and expansion of its retail area. A decision is yet to be made as to whether the remainder of the site should be disposed of or developed.
Potential value (if known)
The negotiations with BG Romeril Ltd are progressing to arrive at an agreed figure that would be paid for the land gained by that company.

2 and 4 Dumaresq Street and 19 and 20 Charing Cross St Helier (PG 1463/1)
Description
This now vacant site is made up of the former sites of 2 and 4 Dumaresq Street and 19 and 20 Charing Cross St Helier, all residential properties. They were acquired between 1973 and 1978 in three separate land transactions for a total consideration of £85,125. The approximate site foot print is 153 sq m (1,650 sq ft) with exposed party gable on two sides.
Location
The site is a corner plot in the Charing Cross Parade area of town surrounded by commercial property owned by the Channel Island Co Operative Society Limited.
Current/previous use and any special features
The site is currently unofficially used as public open space by the Parish of St Helier as well as for the placement of euro bins. In the past it has been used for parking.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
The properties were acquired as part of the Dumaresq Street road widening scheme which was abandoned in 1996. The site currently produces no income for the Public purse.
There are currently no known schemes by the Public with capital funding for which this land would be suitable.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
The site could be redeveloped as a stand alone unit or as part of a larger scheme by the adjacent landowner.
A full planning brief has been was prepared in 2004 with possible uses for the site, subject to planning permission, being ground floor retail and storage with first and second floor offices or other uses to be agreed. The former Planning and Environment Committee has stated that the regeneration and refurbishment of the group of buildings would be the final element in the wider urban renewal initiatives in the west of town from Union Street to York Street .
The States on 16 May 2006 decided to reject P38/2006 which proposed that this site be designated as an Area of Important Open Space.

Seaton Youth Centre, Seaton Place, St Helier (PBA 5/137/1)
Description
A former church acquired by the States in 1959, which has been used as a youth centre.
The site area is approximately 394 sq m (4,240 sq ft) and the gross floor area of the building is approximately 619 sq m (6,670 sq ft).
Location
The site fronts onto Seaton Place at its junction with Seale Street (see attached location plan).
Current/previous use and any special features
As mentioned above, the property has been used as a youth centre.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
The property is considered to be unsuitable for continued use as a youth centre due to its internal layout and condition. The means of escape in the event of fire is sub-standard and the cost of repairing and modernising the property is considered to be excessive in relation to the quality of the building. There is no other identified use for the property by any States department.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
The building has been included on the Planning Department s historic buildings listing as a Building of Local Interest (BLI). If this status cannot be successfully challenged, the development potential of the site will be limited.

Samar s School Houses 1 and 2 (PBA 97/2&3)
Description
A pair of detached two storey houses built circa 1990. Each house has a floor area of approximately 98 sq m (1,060 sq ft) and the accommodation includes three bedrooms.
Externally there is a garden and a parking area with each house, but no garages. Vehicular access to House No. 1 is via the front driveway of House No. 2.
Location
The houses are located on the south boundary of Samar s Primary School in St Clement. They are accessed via Le Haugie Close (see attached location plan).
Current/previous use and any special features
The houses were built to accommodate teachers at the peak period when contract staff were being brought into the Island. The need for that use has now declined and there are no teachers wishing to occupy the houses they have therefore been unoccupied for some time.
The houses are not designated for social housing.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
As mentioned above, there is no longer a need for the houses to be used to accommodate contract teachers, and the properties are unoccupied with no prospective tenants anticipated.
Subject to there being no requirement for staff accommodation it is proposed to sell the houses on the open market.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
The houses are relatively new and adjacent to the Le Squez Phase 1b Housing development.

Headingley, La Route du Fort, St Helier (PBA 16/38/1)
Description
A substantial dwelling acquired by the States in 1990 to provide accommodation for nursing staff employed by Health and Social Services.
The site is roughly rectangular in shape having an average width of approximately 26 0 and a total depth of some 165 0 . The building is centrally located on the site and comprises some 349 sq m (3,760 sq ft) of accommodation.
Location
The property is located on the north side of La Route du Fort between its junctions with Hastings Lane and Cleveland Road (see attached location plan).
Current/previous use and any special features
As mentioned above, the property was acquired to provide accommodation for nursing staff employed by Health and Social Services.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
The accommodation offered by the property is now sub-standard for use by nursing staff. The demand for nursing accommodation has also reduced, and Headingley is therefore considered to be surplus to requirement. At least £100,000 would have to be spent refurbishing the accommodation to bring it up to acceptable standards.
It is therefore recommended that the property be offered for sale on the open market.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
There is no known development potential for the property by the States.

74 and 76 La Colomberie, St Helier (NS 2008 & 2009)
Description
Pair of ground floor lock-up shop units.
Location
Fronting onto La Colomberie in what is regarded as a secondary retailing location, directly adjacent to Keith Baal Gardens housing development.
Current/previous use and any special features
Established commercial units that were acquired by the Public in 1991. In the case of both shops, 9 year leases have been granted (expiring 2013/2014) with mutual options to break on 1 May 2007.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
Acquired with the prospect of incorporation into the development known as Keith Baal Gardens, these properties were ultimately omitted from the scheme. Though generating a combined return of £17,650 per annum, the properties are not required for any strategic Public purpose. Due to their age and condition, the Public has had to retain the external repairing structural liability as detailed in the leases for both units.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
Although the site upon which these shops are constructed is relatively small (1679 sq.ft./156 sq.m.), it may have limited potential for inclusion within a possible redevelopment of the adjacent property in private ownership.

Drury Lane Workshop, St Helier (PBA 12/1180/1)
Description
A workshop acquired by the States in 1995, which has been let to the voluntary group Tools for Self Reliance . The property was acquired to remove a bad neighbour from a residential area.
The site area is approximately 114 sq m (1,230 sq ft) and the gross floor area of the building is approximately 87 sq m (936 sq ft).
Location
The site fronts onto Drury Lane (see attached location plan).
Current/previous use and any special features
As mentioned above, the property is let to the voluntary group Tools for Self Reliance . Only a nominal rent of £12 per annum is charged.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
The property was acquired by the States primarily to remove a bad neighbour from a residential area, and as such, it was not purchased with a use in mind. However, it was suggested at the time of purchase that the most likely use of the site would be for redevelopment to create a single dwelling unit. It is now considered an appropriate time to advance the proposal to sell the site to create a residential unit.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
The site would appear to be suitable for redevelopment as a single residential unit.

Le Rondin Farm Fields, Trinity (SRS 845/21, 23, 24, 25, 26 & 27)
Description
Le Rondin Farm and Fields were acquired on 11 July 1986, for £270,000. The farmhouse was subsequently sold on 22 May 1998, for £450,000, with the Public retaining the agricultural fields.
Field 823 is an isolated field known as Le Clos de la Verte Rue . It is currently used as an orchard for The Jersey Cider Apple Collection . The field measures about 3 verg es 20 perch.
Field 849 is known as Le Clos Marett , and is a good quality field suitable for all crops. The Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society (RJA&HS) has access rights over Fields 849 and 850, as there is a foul drain running along the southern boundary. The field measures about 5 verg es 16 perch.
Field 851 is known as Le Clos des Setteaux , and is also a good quality field suitable for all crops. The field measures about 3 verg es 31 perch.
Field 853 is at two levels, side by side, known as Le Long Jardin and Les Alleurs , and is suitable for limited crops. The field measures about 2 verg es 37 perch.
Field 864 is known as Le Pre and is at the lowest part of the meadow, between Fields 853 and 865. The field is classed as non-agricultural, and has a stream running down the centre of it. The field measures about 1 verg e 38 perch.
Field 865 is in two parts side by side, known as Le Jardin a Potage and Le Clos de Bas et le Pendant . This field is also classed as non-agricultural, and measures about 1 verg e 34 perch.
Location
Field 823 is to the East of Le Rondin Farm, across the lane known as La Rue du Mont Pellier. It makes the northern corner of the junction where La Rue du Travers meets La Rue du Mont Pellier.
Fields 849 and 851 are to the south-east of the RJA&HS Headquarters, which is adjacent to Howard Davis Farm. The two fields are accessed directly from the brick paved approach road to the RJA&HS Headquarters.
Fields 853, 864 and 865 are all together in the meadow directly in front of Le Rondin Farmhouse. Le Rondin is to the East of, and accessed from, La Route de la Trinit . It is also directly across the road from Howard Davis Farm. None of the six fields are subject to the Howard Davis Farm Restrictive Covenant.
Current/previous use and any special features
Field 823 is currently used as an orchard for The Jersey Cider Apple Collection . This is an orchard of traditional Jersey apple varieties, collected after the great storm of 1987 destroyed many of Jersey s remaining apple trees. The project was suggested and supported financially by the National Trust for Jersey and Soci te Jersiaise. The States of Jersey Agriculture and Fisheries Department, of the time, generously provided both labour and land, and is now responsible for the management of the orchard. The trees thus saved from extinction are a Gene Bank to provide graftwood for future plantings. The orchard was planted on 3 December 1991.
Fields 849 and 851 are currently used under licence by the RJA&HS.
The upper part of Field 853 is currently used by the RJA&HS. There is an annual rolling licence in place, which can be terminated with three months notice on both sides.
Field 864 is currently used for horse grazing. There is an annual rolling licence in place, which can be terminated with three months notice on both sides.
Field 865 is planted as an orchard, like Field 823.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
The fields were purchased at a time when the use of Howard Davis Farm for crop trials was expanding. This situation has reversed and the fields are no longer needed. Field 823, The Jersey Cider Apple Collection field should stay established as an orchard and it is suggested that the field is offered to either the National Trust for Jersey or La
Soci te Jersiaise in the first instance, due to their involvement in setting up the orchard.
The RJA&HS has previously shown interest in acquiring Fields 849 and 851 which it currently uses under licence.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
None. Field 864 is in the Green Zone. The other five fields are in the Countryside Zone. All six fields are in the Water Pollution Safeguard Area.

Fields 373, off La Rue des Champs, St Brelade (PBA 2/1683/1)
Description
An agricultural field, which the States purchased in 1994 to add to a land bank for the creation of a municipal golf course in the Les Creux area.
The field area measures about 2.5 verg es.
Location
The field is located to the north of La Rue des Champs, St Brelade, and is accessed via a track on its east side (see attached location plan).
Current/previous use and any special features
The field is presently let on an annual rolling licence to a sheep farmer, the licence fee being £50/annum.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
In October 1986 the States rezoned 262 verg es of land at Les Creux as a site for a municipal golf course.
However, the States was not successful in acquiring all of the land necessary to create the golf course. It was therefore decided that the golf course project be replaced with the Les Creux Country Park.
Field 373 does not form part of the Country Park, nor will it do so in the future. The States has no planned use for the field.
The present licence fee is modest at £50 per annum, and the land offers no scope for earning a significantly higher rent in its current form.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
There is no known development potential for the land.

Acorn Lodge (PBA 5/112/5)
Description
Acorn Lodge is a detached dwelling constructed circa 1990. It is one of a pair of houses, its neighbour being known as Oak Lodge.
Location
Acorn Lodge, along with its neighbour Oak Lodge, are located adjacent to the Les Quennevais School boundary see attached location plan.
Current/previous use and any special features
The two houses were previously used as staff accommodation for teachers but this is no longer required. An additional special needs facility is urgently needed by the school and a proposal was submitted to convert one house to meet this need, with the other house to be used for the Youth Action Team as part of the Kathy Bull initiative.
As the houses are only 12 years old, there were concerns about converting both these houses when they have a higher value as residential accommodation, and would only be providing a partial answer to the school s needs.
A survey of the houses has confirmed:
¥ One of the houses would be very difficult to sell or lease - it is effectively part of the school playground.
¥ The other house can be separated and, subject to Planning agreement to increase wall heights, could be sold.
¥ The school has plans for a purpose built extension to the existing SEN facility which would cost less than £500k. This extension would offer an infinitely better facility than a converted house which is separated from the main building by the playground.
In Property Holdings view the best solution would be to sell the house which is saleable and use the proceeds to (largely) deliver the purpose built extension for SEN use. The remaining house would be utilised by the Youth Action Team.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
Acorn Lodge and Oak Lodge were previously used to house teachers but are no longer required for that purpose and have both been empty for some time.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
There is no feasible redevelopment potential for the States, and it seems unlikely that a private party would seek to acquire the houses with a view to redeveloping the site.

Development site at Belle Vue, Les Quennevais (PBA 12/1091/15)
Description
The remaining parcel of development land at Belle Vue Estate the major part of the site was developed for first-time- buyer and social rental housing in the late 1990s.
The site area is approximately 2.2 acres or 4.9 verg es.
Location
The site is located on the east side of Belle Vue and borders La Route des Quennevais (see attached location plan).
Current/previous use and any special features
The Belle Vue master plan identified this remaining parcel of land for community use and the options that were considered included a branch library, cr che, care home and medical centre.
The former Health and Social Services Committee progressed the design of a scheme for a 60 bed residential home and day care centre, and a doctors surgery. Planning consent was obtained for the residential home and day care centre, but the project has since been removed from the capital programme.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
On the grounds that the States will not be proceeding with a project to develop a residential home and day care centre, or any other project, it is recommended that this potentially valuable development site be considered for disposal.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
As mentioned above, the planning authority has consented to a 60 bed residential home and day care centre on the site. It will be necessary to obtain a detailed planning brief as to what other forms of development could be permitted. In conjunction with that, investigations need to be undertaken in respect of the original compulsory purchase of the land and any effect that that could have on the development potential.

1 Oxford Road, St Helier, offices and workshop
Site
1 Oxford Road is a two storey property with yard, occupying a total site area of about 460 sq m (4,955 sq ft). It is classified as a Site of Special Interest (SSI). A site plan is attached.
Current and previous use
The property is now in a dilapidated state but was previously used as offices and workshops. The property cannot be brought back into use without extensive works. There is no specific need for the States to retain ownership of the site.
Ownership by States
The property is one of several left to the States for the benefit of the aged, infirm and needy residents of the Island by Mr Harold Le Seelleur, who died in 1996. If the property is sold the proceeds will be put toward the upkeep of the remaining properties and any balance spent in accord with Mr Le Seelleur s wishes. In May 2003 a proposition to sell the property for £356,000 was rejected by the States. Unfortunately, since being left to the States this property has generated no benefit and has incurred only costs.
Potential for development
As an SSI there are significant Planning requirements which constrain the development potential. The existing form and structure must be retained or rebuilt in like manner. The effect of the SSI is to reduce the potential value of the site, given the poor condition of the existing structure.
Marketing
The property was previously marketed on an open tender basis and a similar approach is recommended.

La Mabonnerie Houses 1 and 2, Trinity (SRS 845/10&11)
Description
1 and 2 La Mabonnerie are a pair of semi-detached houses, built in the late 1920 s or early 1930 s. The Public acquired Fields 560 and 561, upon which the houses sit, on the 30 April 1929 from Mr Adolphus Le Sueur . Each two- storey house has a floor area of approximately 108 sq m (1,160 sq ft) and the accommodation includes three bedrooms.
Both houses have detached garages, although the garage at No 2 is in poor condition and possibly needs to be demolished and rebuilt. No 2 also has parking for two cars at the front. Both houses have small front gardens, and reasonably sized rear gardens.
Location
The houses are located at the north-west corner of the Howard Davis Farm site, adjacent to the Philip Mourant Training Centre. The houses face West onto La Rue d Asplet.
Current/previous use and any special features
No 1 is currently vacant. Previously the lounge was being used temporarily as an office by the Jersey Potato Marketing Board. Ideally, the house requires a new kitchen and bathroom, and internal decoration, prior to any proposed sale.
No 2 is currently on a 1-year lease to Mr Joao Serrao, which is due to terminate on the 31 December 2006. The annual rent currently being paid is £10,000. No 2 is in good decorative order inside with a recently installed kitchen and bathroom suite, and requires very little work.
Both houses would benefit from external decoration prior to any proposed sale.
Reasons why the property is no longer required
The houses are on the boundary of the Howard Davis Farm site, and therefore their sale would not impede on any plans for the main site, to the rear (East) of the houses. The houses are outside the area of the Howard Davis Farm Restrictive Covenant. It is recommended therefore, that with no current use for the two houses, they should be sold on the open market.
Redevelopment potential (if any)
There is no feasible redevelopment potential for the States, and it seems unlikely that a private party would seek to acquire the houses with a view to redeveloping the site.
