WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY S.S.P.A. POWER OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2009
Question
Can the Minister assure the Assembly that he will use his best efforts in 2009 to work with other States Departments, particularly Planning and Environment and Education, Sport and Culture, to encourage the use of States land for allotment farming purposes?
Answer
In principle the Minister is supportive of the concept of allotments in appropriate locations. Therefore the Minister sees no reason why allotments should not be allowed on States controlled land. However this does have to be practical, subject to agreement, and in particular be subject to Planning regulations.
Accordingly, whilst no proposals to utilise public land for allotment farming are currently included in Jersey Property Holdings' Business Plan, and subject to resource constraints, the Minister will consider the merits of any sites proposed that are in public ownership.
