WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY P.V.F. LE CLAIRE OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 7th JUNE 2011
Question
How many units of accommodation are contained within the North of St. Helier Masterplan and what are the likely timescales on completion in relation to their development by site once approved?
Answer
The North Town Masterplan sets out the vision for the north of St.Helier. The document identifies potential synergies between sites, both those in the States of Jersey ownership and in those in private ownership, it is intended as a catalyst to stimulate development.
- The potential for residential development in the north town is identified on a number of sites, including:
- Anne Court with around 115 to 200 units.
- Minden Place with around 35 units
- Masonic temple car park site
- Former JCG, where a competition will be launched for an architect to develop a scheme
- Anne street brewery site
- Le Bas Centre
- and the Wesley Chapel where 48 apartments and 9 townhouses with parking has been permitted.
- Brittania Place
- Robin Hood Roundabout Site
In advance of outline and detailed planning applications for individual sites actual numbers and the mix of units can't be quantified.
However the revised master plan has identified the possibility for 24000 sqm (approx 300 dwellings) on the Jersey gas site.
12.5% of any residential schemes will be required to be affordable housing
In terms of timescale of deliverability it will come down to market conditions, private developers, design issues and other States Departments.
All I can do is bring the Masterplan forward with the potential for these developments as a whole. The Masterplan sets principles only, the final planning applications will show firm numbers.
