Answer
- Elan AnimalProducts Limited leased the site atLa Collette from the public of the Island on a nine year lease agreementwhichterminated on 31stDecember 2002. Since that time the Companyhasremained at La Collette under the termsand conditions of that lease agreement.Thiswas agreed by the Stateson 20th April 2004, when the administration of the land was transferred to the Harbours and Airport Committee, (P.68/2004), and Elan Animal Products Limited were permittedto continue with its presentoperationuntil alternative facilities forwasteoildisposal were provided on a newsite at Bellozanne. This will be within the next six monthsandthe land atLa Collette will then be vacated and available foruseby the Harboursand Airport Committee.
- There is no condition within any of the lease agreementsgranted to lesseesatLa Collette which requires that they are tobemarine associated orrelatedbusinesses.
I n considering any applications for the development of new uses within the operational area of the Harbour,
the Committee considers applications within the context of the Harbours and Airport Committee's Port of St. Helier Master Plan. In addition, Policy TT35 within the Island Plan 2002 states that "uses which are not Port related or ancillary to the operation of the Port will not normally be permitted within the defined harbour operational area".
